Website design in Cape Town from R1 200
A fast, mobile-first website for your Cape Town business, built in about a week for a fixed price. Hosting, SSL, backups and your changes done for you from R240 a month.
Working with Cape Town businesses
We are based here, so Cape Town is the one place we can meet you if you would rather do this across a table than over email. Most clients never need to — the whole process works by form and browser — but the option is there.
We cover the City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, Northern Suburbs, the West Coast and out to Somerset West and Stellenbosch. If you serve a specific set of suburbs, those get named on your site — it is the single most useful thing you can tell both a customer and a search engine.
Who this is for in Cape Town
Mostly established, unglamorous businesses that are good at what they do and invisible online: plumbers, electricians, builders and renovators, guest houses, landscapers and restaurants. Typically five to twenty years old, with a site built in 2011 or no site at all.
Cape Town has a specific problem: a lot of small businesses here have a beautiful Instagram feed and no website at all. That works until somebody searches for you from a laptop, or wants your address, hours and prices without creating an account somewhere. A simple site that answers those three questions does most of the work.
What you get
- A hand-built site in plain HTML and CSS — no WordPress, no page builder, nothing to patch every fortnight.
- Loads in about a second on mobile data, because most of your visitors are on a phone.
- The suburbs you serve, your hours and your number where a customer can actually find them.
- Your Google Business Profile set up and linked, which is most of local search for a trade.
- A domain registered in your name, and files that are yours if you ever leave.
What it costs
R1 200 for 3 pages, R1 800 for 5, R2 500 for 8, up to R25 000 for a full online shop. Then R240 a month, first month included, no contract. Half up front, half before it goes live.

Questions from Cape Town
How much does a website cost in Cape Town?
The same as anywhere else we work, because the price is published rather than quoted per client: R1 200 for a 3-page site, R1 800 for 5 pages and R2 500 for 8, plus R240 a month for hosting and looking after it. Cape Town agencies typically start well above that, which is the gap this exists to fill.
Can we meet in person in Cape Town?
Yes, if it would help. We are based in Cape Town and can meet somewhere convenient in the City Bowl or Southern Suburbs. It is genuinely not required — the form, photos and browser approvals cover everything — but a first conversation in person is sometimes easier for a business that has been burned before.
Will my site show up for searches in Cape Town?
We build so that it can: the suburbs you actually serve are named in the content, the page structure is readable by search engines, and your Google Business Profile is set up and linked. What nobody can honestly promise is a position. Ranking in Western Cape depends on your competition and takes months — be careful of anyone who guarantees page one.
How long does it take?
About a week from the day your content arrives. The build is the fast part; the pace is set by how quickly you send photos and details. Nothing is charged before you have seen the design.
