It depends on what you need built. A professional business website typically starts from R15,000 to R25,000 for a well-structured multi-page site. Builds with custom integrations, booking systems, or web application functionality run higher. I don't publish fixed rates because no two projects are the same — book a free consultation and I'll give you an accurate quote based on what you actually need, not a ballpark that wastes both our time.

It depends on what the project actually needs. Webflow is excellent for design-led sites that require a content management system without heavy custom development — it produces fast, clean output and I use it regularly for clients who want to manage their own content. Wix suits simpler, entry-level sites where budget is the main constraint. Custom Next.js development is the right choice when you need performance at scale, complex integrations, or a product that has to grow with your business. I'll tell you honestly which one fits your situation — and I won't upsell you into a custom build if Webflow would serve you better.

Web design is the visual and experiential layer — layouts, typography, colour, and how a site feels to use. Web development is the technical layer — the code that makes it function, load fast, and connect to other systems. Most agencies separate these roles, which creates friction at the handoff. As a Design Engineer, I handle both: design in Figma, built in Next.js. Nothing gets lost in translation between the concept and the final product.

POPIA compliance covers how you collect, store, and process personal data — contact forms, analytics, cookie usage, and third-party integrations all play a role. I build POPIA-aware websites by default: privacy policies, cookie notices, minimal data collection, and secure form handling are part of every standard build. If you have an existing site and are unsure about your compliance position, that's worth discussing before you launch or run any campaigns.

Mobile-first means designing for how South Africans actually browse — the majority of local internet traffic is on mobile, often on variable data speeds and mid-range devices. It means the mobile layout is designed first, images are compressed and served correctly, JavaScript is lean, and the interface holds up on a smaller screen without compromise. Every build I ship is tested on real devices at real SA data speeds before it goes live.

Yes, always. Every project starts with a Figma design phase before any code is written. You see the layouts, typography, components, and interactions before a single line of code is touched — and request changes at the lowest possible cost. Because I handle both design and development, the move from Figma to production is also cleaner: there's no interpretation gap between what was designed and what actually ships.

Most projects are completed within four to eight weeks from the point when content and brand assets are ready. The biggest variable on the client side is how quickly feedback comes back. At the start of every project we agree on a realistic timeline together — and I hold to it.

Yes — and I already do. I've worked with clients in Sweden and Germany, and the process is designed for remote collaboration from the start. Everything runs over video call, shared tools, and clear written briefs. The only thing we sort out in the first conversation is the timezone.
