Website Design and Development
Website design and WordPress development for South African businesses
Your website should make it easy for people to understand your business, see relevant work and take the next step. We bring together considered Figma design, practical website development and an editing experience your team can use after launch.
We help businesses and creative agencies plan new websites and improve existing ones. The build can use WordPress or a streamlined HTML, CSS and JavaScript approach, depending on the content, functionality and day-to-day editing your project needs.
When this service fits
- You need a new business website with a clear structure and enquiry route.
- Your current website no longer reflects your brand, services or customer needs.
- You have a Figma design and need the website developed with careful attention to the details.
- Your team needs a manageable WordPress website rather than depending on a developer for every routine edit.
What the project can include
- Website planning, navigation and page structure.
- UX and visual design in Figma.
- Responsive WordPress design and development, or a suitable static build.
- Content placement, enquiry forms and agreed integrations.
- Testing, review, launch preparation and an agreed handover.
The brief defines the final deliverables. Ecommerce, memberships, complex integrations, content creation and ongoing support each need their own agreed scope.
From brief to a usable website
Plan the job before designing the pages
We start with the audience, the services or products, the content and what a visitor should do next. This gives the design and development a clear purpose and makes the scope easier to assess.
Design, build and review
The page layouts and key journeys are developed in Figma, then built for the agreed platform. Review should cover the actual content, smaller screens, links, forms and the tools your team will use.
Prepare the handover
We agree what needs to be ready for launch and how routine editing and ongoing care will be handled. If you are replacing an existing website, tell us which pages and content need to be retained so the migration can be planned properly.
Prepare a useful website brief
Share your current website, the audience you want to reach, the main pages, examples of work you like and any functionality the website needs. Let us know what copy, photography and brand material is ready, who will approve the work and your preferred budget and timing.

Questions before getting started
Can you redesign an existing WordPress website?
Share the website and what needs to change. The existing theme, content, plugins and required functionality help determine whether an update or a more complete rebuild is appropriate.
What determines the cost and timing?
The page count, content readiness, design requirements, functionality, integrations and review process all affect the scope. We agree those details before confirming the project.
What happens after launch?
Routine content editing, website maintenance and future development are different needs. Explore website care and support among our services, then tell us what your team needs after launch.
