Websites and business software
Your website SHOULD load fast and bring you work!
I build lightning fast, lead converting websites, designed to make your phone ring and inbox ping. Smart business dashboards that help you manage your business from one end to the other.
Taking on work
Why most small business sites go quiet
They were built once, years ago, and nobody has touched them since. They load slowly on a phone, they read like a brochure, and there is no clear next step for someone who is ready to buy.
It takes too long to load
Most of your visitors are on a phone, often on mobile data. If the page hangs for four seconds they are already gone.
It does not say what you do
A buyer should know what you sell and who you sell it to before they scroll. Most sites bury it under a slogan.
There is nowhere to go next
No quote button, no booking, no phone number where it should be. The visit ends and you never hear about it.
You deal with one person
I have been building sites and business systems for small business owners for over a decade, across South Africa, the UK, the USA and Australia. No account manager, no ticket queue, no handing you to a junior halfway through.
- One person on the build, start to finish
- You own the site, the code and the domain
- Quoted upfront in writing, no hourly surprises
- Direct line for questions, not a support portal
Four steps, and you know where you stand at each one.
We talk
A short call about the business, who buys from you, and what the site has to do. No pitch deck.
You get a quote
A fixed price and a date, in writing, before any work starts. If it is not worth doing I will tell you.
I build it
Design and build, with two rounds of changes. You see it as it goes up, not at the end.
You get the keys
Live, handed over, in your name. Keep me on for the upkeep or run it yourself.
Websites
A site built around one job: turning a visitor into an enquiry, a booking or a sale. Custom built, fast on a phone, written in your own words.
- Custom build, no template sprawl
- Enquiry, booking or buy path
- Search-ready structure and analytics
- Two rounds of design changes
Online stores
A storefront that loads fast, answers the buyer's questions on the product page, and keeps checkout short.
- Product pages that remove doubt
- Payment methods your buyers use
- Stock and orders in one place
- Shipping set up and tested
Business software
Quoting, job tracking, bookings, CRM. Built on how your business actually runs, not on a template you have to bend around.
- Scoped and quoted in writing
- Built on your data
- Staff logins and simple permissions
- Handed over with a walkthrough
Upkeep
Weekly checks, fixes, and the small changes you never get around to. Month to month, no long lock-in.
- Weekly check and fixes
- Small content and layout changes
- Backups and updates
- Email support, direct to me
What it costs to leave it
Every week the old site stays up is a week of people looking you up, not liking what they see, and calling the next name on the list. You do not see those visits. You just see a quiet phone.
Fixed price, agreed before anything starts.
Every job is quoted in writing after a short scoping chat. Below is how each type of work is billed. The number itself comes from the quote, because it depends on the job.

Fill in the brief and I will come back with a plan and a price. If I am not the right person for it I will say so.
