Services
Three ways to work together.
One point of accountability, whichever stage you're at.
Web Design
A considered, well-built WordPress site — designed as much for the person updating it next year as for launch day.
Process
01 Discovery — Understand your organisation, your content, and who'll be maintaining the site.
02 Design — Clean, editorial layouts built around your real content, not template filler.
03 Build — A hardened WordPress build, tested across devices before anything goes live.
04 Handover — Walkthrough and documentation so your team can manage it confidently.
For NPO teams
• Content-management built around non-technical staff — clear editing, no fragile page-builder lock-in
• Accessible by default: contrast, type sizes, keyboard navigation
• Budget tiers scoped honestly around what a board can approve
Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks depending on scope.
Website Maintenance
A site is never really "done." I keep it updated, backed up, and running — on whichever schedule suits your organisation.
Quarterly Maintenance
Pricing on request
• Plugin & core updates every quarter
• Uptime monitoring
• Backups checked and confirmed
Monthly Maintenance
Pricing on request
• Plugin & core updates every month
• Uptime monitoring
• Priority response for urgent issues

Security
A plain-language look at what "secure hosting" means in practice — quiet competence, not scare tactics.
Hardened builds
Sites are configured defensively from day one, not patched after the fact.
Ongoing monitoring
Continuous checks for suspicious activity, so issues get caught early.
Regular backups
Automated, tested backups so a worst case is a rollback, not a disaster.
Incident response
A clear, calm process if something ever does go wrong — you're never on your own.
This is why sites I build don't get hacked — hardened, monitored, and maintained as standard practice.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope — a small NPO site and a full commercial rebuild are different projects. Get in touch for a quote scoped honestly around what you actually need.
How long does a typical project take?
Most web design projects take 4–8 weeks from discovery to launch, depending on scope and how quickly content comes together.
Can our own team update the content?
Yes — every site is built with non-technical staff in mind, so day-to-day changes don't need a developer.
What happens to security after launch?
Hardened builds and ongoing monitoring are standard practice, available as part of a hosting & security retainer — not sold as a scary upsell.
Do you work with organisations outside Cape Town?
Yes — I'm based in Claremont, Cape Town, but work with clients across South Africa and internationally.
We already have a WordPress site that needs help — can you take it over?
Absolutely. Maintenance and retainer engagements often start with taking over an existing site that's been inherited from someone else.
