Every business
has a bottleneck.

You have something to offer. Something is stopping you from moving forward.

Maybe you have no central place to send people. Maybe you’re buried in manual work. Maybe you need to sell online but don’t know where to start.

We solve that specific problem—not with a generic template, but with a custom-built solution that fits your need.

ONE CLEAR NEED AT A TIME

What do you need
to solve?

Every client has a different problem. We identify the main need first, then add only what the solution calls for.

01PRESENCE

Presence &
Credibility

The problemNo central place to send people. I look amateur.

What we buildA clean 1–3 page digital home, WhatsApp button and contact form.

For exampleA plumber needs a simple site explaining the service and how to call.

Discuss this need
02SHOWCASE

Showcase &
Portfolio

The problemMy work is buried in social media. I need a professional place to show it.

What we buildA styled portfolio, gallery, lookbook, packages and enquiry path.

For exampleA wedding planner needs a gallery of past weddings and an enquiry form.

Discuss this need
03ORDERING

Ordering & Enquiry

The problemCustomers keep asking what’s available and what it costs.

What we buildA digital menu or catalogue with categories, item details and a WhatsApp order draft.

For exampleA restaurant lets customers choose items before sending an order.

Discuss this need
04OPERATIONS

Automation & Operations

BEFORE YOU START

Questions
we get asked.

Still unsure? Tell us what you’re trying to make easier.

Ask about your project
What is included in the Base Build?

Project setup, mobile-friendly design, Cloudflare hosting setup, domain connection (.co.za first year), a WhatsApp button, contact form and one revision round.

How do you decide if my project is Starter, Intermediate or Advanced?

We define tiers by functional scope, not by how long you have been in business. Starter is simple and single-purpose. Intermediate is multi-page with some interactive features. Advanced is a full system with complex features.

Do I need to provide content?

Yes. You know your business best, so we need your text, images and product details. If you need help writing or organising content, we can quote for that separately.

Can you write or organise content for me?

We can arrange existing content beautifully on the website. Writing from scratch is a separate service and will be quoted.

Is a domain included?

For .co.za domains, the first year is included in the Base Build. Other extensions are registered at cost through Cloudflare. Availability and renewal terms are confirmed before the project begins.

How many revisions are included?

The Base Build includes one revision round. Starter projects include one round; Intermediate and Advanced projects include two. Additional revisions are quoted separately.

Do you offer online payments or booking systems?

Yes, as add-on features. E-commerce and payment gateways start at R3,500+. Booking and calendar integrations start at R1,000. These require a custom scope review.

Can I request a service that is not listed?

Yes. Send us a message. If we cannot do it, we’ll say so honestly and try to point you to someone who can.

When does work begin?

Work begins after the agreed 30% deposit has cleared and we have the content needed to start.

Do you offer website maintenance?

Yes. Monthly care is required for all websites. Plans start at R150/month for hosting and domain care, and go up to R600/month for Standard Maintenance.

What if I miss a monthly payment?

If a payment is missed, the site may go offline as stated in the terms. We’ll contact you before taking it offline.

Do you promise SEO rankings?

No. We build the foundation; we don’t promise traffic or Google rankings. SEO is a separate skill we don’t offer. If you need it, we can point you to someone who does.

NO PRESSURE. JUST A CLEAR START.

Tell us what
you’re trying to build.

Choose the need that best matches your project and tell us what you’re working on. We’ll review your enquiry and respond with next steps or an itemised quote.

ENQUIRY FORM LAYOUTPHASE 1

Share a few details so we can understand what you need.

What materials do you already have?

An enquiry is not a booking or a confirmation of price, delivery date or project acceptance. If the project is a fit, we’ll send the next steps or an itemised quotation.
