Web design and hosting for Johannesburg and Sandton businesses.
In a big market your website has to look credible in seconds and load quickly on a phone. We design it free of charge, then host and look after it from R159 a month.

Working with a Gauteng studio, remotely
Based in Pretoria, working with Johannesburg and Sandton businesses on WhatsApp.
Johannesburg and Sandton businesses work with us the same way every client does: remotely, on WhatsApp. You send a text or a voice note about the business. We build a live demo you can open and test, you tell us what to change and, when you are happy, it goes live on your domain.
There is no need to cross Gauteng for a meeting or sit through a pitch. You see a working site before you decide to go live, and the design is free. After that you pay a monthly fee for hosting, maintenance and support, from R159 a month, with no once-off cost.
What makes a business site credible
Visitors in a large market compare quickly. These are the things that earn trust.
- A clear first screen. What you do, who it is for and where you work, without scrolling or guessing.
- Real detail. Specific services, how you work, who is behind the business and some proof, such as photos or examples of your work.
- An easy way to reach you. A phone number that dials, a WhatsApp link and a form that actually arrives.
- The legal basics. A privacy notice that matches what the site does and, for online shops, the business details, delivery and returns information that shoppers expect to find.
- Speed. Pages that load quickly on a phone, because many visitors will not wait.
None of this needs a big budget. It needs a site that is built carefully and kept up to date, which is what the monthly fee looks after.
Sandton, Rosebank and the northern suburbs
Where many professional firms are based.
Many law and accounting firms, consultancies, and financial and technology businesses are based in Sandton, Rosebank, Illovo and Bryanston. For these businesses the website is often the first thing a prospective client reads, before they reply to a message or return a call.
We keep sites for professional firms plain, fast and specific: who you help, what you do for them, how an engagement starts and where to send an enquiry. Clear writing and a calm design usually do more for a firm's credibility than anything flashy.
If you sell to other businesses, a short page for each service is better than one long page for everything. It gives visitors a direct answer and gives search engines a clear picture of what you offer.
A city of many centres
Johannesburg customers search by area.
Johannesburg is spread out, and people search for what is near them: Fourways, Randburg, Midrand, Roodepoort, Rosebank, the city centre and many more. If you serve several areas, name them on the relevant service page in plain words, and list them as service areas on your Google Business Profile.
We do not publish a near-identical page for every suburb. Pages like that rarely help and can count against a site. One strong page for each service, written for the customer, does more.
Your Google Business Profile matters as much as your website for local searches. It controls your map listing: categories, hours, phone number, photos and reviews. We can help set it up, and we keep the name, address and phone number on your site consistent with it.
Online stores
For businesses that sell products.
Our E-Commerce package adds a multi-page store with a South African payment gateway for cards, EFT and instant payments, plus product, order and stock management.
Before you launch a shop, decide what shoppers need to see before they pay: prices, delivery costs and times, your returns policy and who they are buying from. Showing this clearly is good for sales, and it is also what South African consumer-protection and electronic-transactions rules expect of online sellers. We will point out what to include, and you should confirm the details with your own adviser.
Message us what you want to sell and we will tell you the monthly figure for the store.

Questions from Johannesburg and Sandton businesses
Do you work with Johannesburg and Sandton businesses if you are based in Pretoria?
Yes. We work remotely on WhatsApp, so the distance makes no difference to how we work with you. We are in the same province and the same time zone, and we answer on a South African number.
Can you build a site that suits a professional firm?
Yes. We build around your logo, colours and photos. If you are starting from scratch we keep the design clean and typographic so the site looks professional from day one. You can see examples of live sites on our work page.
Do you build online stores?
Yes. The E-Commerce package includes a multi-page store, a South African payment gateway and product, order and stock management. Message us what you want to sell and we will tell you the monthly figure.
Can you set up my domain and email as well?
We register or point your domain, configure DNS and email, install the SSL certificate and publish the site, so you can leave the technical side to us.
How do customers find us from Sandton, Rosebank or Midrand?
Mostly through Google: the map listing, which comes from your Google Business Profile, and the normal search results, which come from your website. We build the website foundations and can help set up your profile. Nobody can guarantee a ranking, and we do not.
