The website your company profile points to
The profile lands, the capability statement gets read, and then they look you up. The site is from 2019, the team page still lists two people who left, and the enquiry form goes to an inbox nobody opens. The Web Development Division designs and builds the site that carries the same argument as your documents, because the studio that wrote them builds it.
For organisations whose website is the credential check
Very few people arrive at a professional firm’s website to browse. They arrive to verify: after the profile was sent, after the referral, after the name came up in a meeting. The site either confirms what they were told or quietly undoes it.
Professional and advisory firms
Consulting, engineering, legal, financial and HR practices whose site is read as evidence rather than as marketing, and where the team page and the service pages are what a prospective client actually checks.
Organisations selling or subscribing online
Where the site has to do work rather than describe it: a store, a membership with gated content and recurring billing, a booking calendar that syncs, payments that reconcile.
Founders building a platform
A consultancy alongside a podcast, a practice alongside a community, a brand that needs a main site and a second platform on a subdomain, each with its own visual identity and its own job.
Four ways a firm ends up rebuilding in three years
Most website projects fail slowly rather than badly. The site launches, everyone is pleased, and then it drifts, because of decisions taken during the build that nobody flagged at the time.
The site contradicts the documents
The company profile says one thing, the capability statement says a second and the website says a third, because all three were written in different years by different people. When the same team holds the positioning and builds the site, that particular problem does not arise.
It was built to be launched, not to be run
Nobody in the organisation can change a price, add a team member or take down a service. Plugins go stale, the enquiry form breaks silently and the first anyone knows is a client asking why they never heard back. Handover exists to prevent this: training, documentation and the credentials, in your hands.
The functionality is the actual project
On a booking, membership or commerce build the risk is never the design. It is whether payments reconcile, whether members can log in on a phone, whether a cancellation stops the billing, whether the calendar respects a buffer. That is scoped explicitly and tested explicitly, because it is where the money is.
The half nobody sees
SSL, the XML sitemap, robots.txt, Search Console, Analytics, page speed, and a POPIA-compliant privacy policy and cookie consent. None of it appears on a page, and together it decides whether the site is found at all and whether it is lawful.
A site that works, and the keys to it
Design and build
Custom WordPress design aligned to your brand, mobile-first and fully responsive, with the core pages your organisation actually needs rather than a template’s idea of them. Homepage, services, about and team, contact with an integrated enquiry form, a blog or insights hub with category structure, and an FAQ page with schema markup.
Commerce, membership and booking
Where the site has to transact: a WooCommerce store with product listings, categories, secure checkout and shipping zones. Membership tiers with a member dashboard, gated content, recurring billing and automated welcome, billing and cancellation flows. Appointment scheduling with service selection, confirmations, reminders and calendar sync.
AI engagement
An on-site chatbot trained on your service FAQs, pricing and booking flow, with lead capture and escalation to a person by email or WhatsApp. Where it earns its place, a WhatsApp Business bot handling enquiries, confirmations and routine questions. Platform selection is settled in a dedicated scoping session rather than assumed.
Technical, SEO and handover
On-page SEO across every core page, XML sitemap and robots.txt, Search Console and Analytics, page speed optimisation, SSL, and a POPIA-compliant privacy policy and cookie consent. Managed hosting, DNS and business email for year one. Then a training session, written documentation, and every design and code asset transferred to you.
Approved at each stage, never a reveal at the end
Discovery and strategy
Brand brief, sitemap, wireframes and a content checklist. Where AI tools are in scope, a dedicated scoping session settles the platform and the conversation flows before anything is built.
Design
Mockups for both desktop and mobile, presented for approval. Nothing is developed until you have signed off on how it looks, which is what keeps the review round at the end short.
Build and test
Development, then testing that is deliberately unglamorous: cross-browser, devices, page speed, every form, every payment path and every booking flow.
Launch and handover
DNS and go-live, Search Console submission, then a training session, written documentation and the credentials. You leave able to run the site without us.
Content is what delays a website, every time
Almost no project runs late because of development. It runs late because the copy, the images, the team photographs and the brand assets arrive in pieces over six weeks. We set a content deadline in the discovery phase and chase it, we can write the copy where you would rather we did, and we will use placeholder content to keep the build moving rather than stopping and waiting.
Tell us the brief, and we will scope it
Tell us what the site has to do and roughly how big it is. A consultant returns a scope, a fixed quote and a timeline, and nothing begins until you have signed the proposal.
How projects are contracted
Work begins on a signed proposal and a 50% deposit, with the balance due on your final approval before go-live. Timelines run from the deposit and the brand assets rather than from the conversation. Two rounds of revisions are included per site, and on final payment every design and code asset transfers to you.
Before you enquire
What does a website cost?
How long does it take?
What do you build on?
Do we own the site at the end?
What is not included?
Can you write the content as well?
What happens after launch?
The site is usually the third format of one argument
A website built before the organisation has settled how it describes itself becomes a rebuild. Corporate Branding sets the positioning and produces the company profile and capability statement, and the site is then built from the same narrative rather than inventing a fourth version of it.
