Web design & growth studio · South Africa

All great ideas started somewhere.

We turn the sketch on the back of a napkin into a website people actually find, trust and buy from.

Your next customer is already searching. Right now, someone is deciding whether you exist.

81% of shoppers research a business online before they visit or buy. No site, and you are invisible at the exact moment they decide.

Did you know?

The cost of being invisible online.

Your next customer is already searching. Here's what happens when they can't find you — and what we do about it.

75%

Your site is the first impression

75% of people judge a company's credibility on its website alone. A weak site — or none — quietly sends them to a competitor.

88%

Reviews make or break it

88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation. With no presence, there's nothing there to trust.

70%

Decided before they call

Up to 70% of a buyer's journey happens online before they ever contact you. Get that part right and the sale is half-won.

A local partner you can actually trust.

You see the price before you commit. No surprise invoices, no hidden extras.

02

A dedicated SA team

Real people you can call, who get the South African market you're selling to.

Founders serving founders

Built by the team behind Schnozz Strips.

We're not just an agency. We built Schnozz Strips from nothing into one of SA's fastest-growing products — on the exact websites and SEO engine we now build for you.

So we're not here to bleed you monthly. We're founders who get it — obsessed with building beautiful, high-converting sites that make other founders win. We'd rather set you up for success than bill you forever.

Agencies, retainers or outside help

We built it ourselves, which is why we know what actually moves a number and what is just an invoice.

Brand we proved it on before selling it

We would rather set you up to win than bill you every month for the privilege of existing.

Real client data

A website isn't a brochure. It's your best salesperson.

One of the brands we build for is our own, so we can show you the numbers rather than describe them. Same products, same prices, same ad spend — the only thing that changed was the site.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How long does it take?

7–10 business days from start to live, once we have your content and your go-ahead. Bigger sites take a little longer — you get the timeline upfront, not halfway through.

What does it cost?

A Standard Build is R12,000–R25,000, depending on what the site has to do and how many products you list. The price is fixed once agreed: a deposit to lock in your slot, the balance on launch. No surprise invoices.

What happens after it goes live?

Every job includes 3 months of support — small changes, edits and fixes, on us. After that the site keeps running exactly as it is. No retainer, no monthly fee.

Do I own the website?

100%. Your site, your domain, your accounts. If you ever want to walk away, you take the lot with you.

What do you need from me?

Your logo, any copy or product info, and a rough idea of what the site needs to do. Missing pieces? We'll walk you through it.

What if I don't have photos?

We'll shoot them. Venue sourced, models cast, everything edited and ready for your site. It's optional — supply your own if you'd rather.

Can you build an online store?

Yes. Product pages, cart, checkout and payments, properly tested. Exactly what we did for our own brand, Schnozz Strips.

What if I don't like it?

We keep going until you're genuinely happy, at no extra charge.
