Web design · Cape Town

Web design in Cape Town,built by the person you talk to.

Custom websites for Cape Town businesses — designed, engineered and measured. No account managers, no template builders, and every price published on the site.

Custom web design in Cape Town costs R40,000+ once-off, or R1,850/month on a Studio plan with no upfront build fee. Both include hosting, SSL, monitoring and the Octa360 dashboard. E-commerce starts at R45,000, custom platforms at R85,000. We work remotely with Cape Town clients the same way we work with Johannesburg ones — the build happens in the open, and you talk to the builder.

What Cape Town businesses actually get quoted

Cape Town has the deepest agency market in the country, which is good for choice and bad for clarity. Quotes for the same brief regularly range from R8,000 to R150,000, and almost none of them are published. That gap is mostly account management, not engineering.

Remote, and honest about it

We are based in Johannesburg and work with Cape Town clients remotely. That is worth saying plainly rather than pretending to a Sea Point address. In practice it changes nothing: the work happens in a shared repo you can watch, calls are on Google Meet, and you get a live dashboard rather than a monthly PDF. If your project genuinely needs someone in the room every week, a local studio is the better fit and we will say so.

What we build for the Cape Town market

  • Tourism and hospitality — booking flows, seasonal content, fast on international connections
  • Wine, food and retail — Shopify stores with SA payment gateways and courier rules
  • Professional services — sites that rank locally and capture enquiries properly
  • Tech and startups — custom platforms, dashboards and apps

Every build is measured, not guessed

Every site we build ships connected to Octa360: daily rankings on Google, Bing and the map pack, your Google reviews, your ad spend against results, Search Console truth, and whether ChatGPT and other AI assistants recommend you. You see it on one screen and get a plain-language email every Monday.

Questions we get from Cape Town businesses

How much does web design cost in Cape Town?

A serious custom site is R1,850 per month on a Studio plan with no upfront build fee, or from R40,000 once-off for a flagship build. E-commerce starts at R45,000 and custom platforms at R85,000. Every price is published rather than quoted on request.

Do you have an office in Cape Town?

No. We are based in Johannesburg and work with Cape Town clients remotely, which we would rather say plainly. Calls are on Google Meet, the build happens in a repository you can watch, and you get a live dashboard instead of monthly reports.

Can you work on my existing Cape Town website?

Yes. Octa360 connects to any website from R950 per month and shows what it is actually doing. If the site itself is holding you back, the dashboard will show you why before anyone suggests rebuilding it.

How long does a website take?

A Studio site is typically live within three to four weeks. Flagship builds and e-commerce take six to ten weeks depending on scope. You watch progress the whole way rather than waiting for a reveal.
