Services
Four things, done properly, by the person who answers your email.
Most jobs are one of these. If yours is a mix, say so in the brief and I will scope it as one piece of work.
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
No hourly rates and no surprise invoices.
You get a fixed price and a date in writing before work starts. Here is how each type of work is billed.

Business software
An add-on to a website, or a standalone system.

- Built on your data, not a template
- Staff logins and simple permissions

What does a site cost?
Every job is a fixed price, quoted after a short scoping chat, so you know the number before any work starts. There is no hourly billing and no surprise invoice at the end.
How long does it take?
Most sites go live in about three weeks from the first chat to handover. A bigger build or a custom system runs longer, and the date is in the quote.
Do I own it?
Yes. The site, the code, the content and the domain stay in your name. You are never locked in and you can take it elsewhere any time.
What happens after launch?
You can keep me on for hosting, updates and small changes, or take the keys and run it yourself. Either way you have a direct line, not a ticket queue.
Do you work with businesses outside South Africa?
Yes. Clients are in South Africa, the UK, the USA and Australia. Everything runs over calls and email, which is how most of the work has always run.
