Web Design in Cape Town That Actually Gets Found
Why Dot Digital
Cape Town is one of the most competitive markets for web design in South Africa. There are dozens of agencies, freelancers, and one-man-bands all fighting for the same clients. Most of them will build you a decent-looking website. Far fewer will make sure Google can actually find it.
I'm Tristan, and I run Dot Digital from East London. I work with Cape Town businesses remotely — and every website I build comes with technical SEO included as standard. Not as an add-on. Not as a monthly retainer. Built in from the start, before the site goes live.
Most web design agencies in Cape Town charge separately for SEO — anywhere from R2,000 to R5,000 a month on top of your build cost. With Dot Digital, that's part of what you're paying for upfront. Your site gets found because the foundations are correct, not because you're paying someone extra to patch them afterwards.
If you're looking for a web design agency in Cape Town that handles the full picture — design, development, and SEO — without the monthly retainer, this is what I do.
What You Get With Every Cape Town Website
What's Included
This isn't a stripped-back starter package with extras bolted on. Every website I build includes the full set — design, development, SEO, and hosting — for one agreed price.
Custom WordPress Design
Built in Bricks Builder from scratch. Your site is designed around your business, not adapted from a template someone else used last month.
Technical SEO Included
Speed optimisation, mobile performance, structured data, crawlability — done before launch. Every other Cape Town agency I'm aware of charges separately for this. It's included here.
Mobile-First Build
Over 60% of South African web traffic is mobile. Your site is built for a phone screen first, then scaled up — not the other way around.
Hosting and Domain Included
Managed WordPress hosting and your domain, handled. One invoice, no separate hosting account to manage.
Ongoing Support
After launch I'm still available — updates, changes, fixes. You deal with me directly, not a helpdesk.
Real Estate Specialisation
Cape Town's property market is one of the most active in SA. I build real estate sites specifically — listings, lead capture, photography-forward layouts. More detail further down the page.
Our Web Design Services in Cape Town
Services
Cape Town businesses come to me with different needs. Some want a clean five-page site to establish credibility. Others need a full ecommerce store, a property listing platform, or a redesign of something that's been embarrassing them for three years. Here's what I build.
Web Design and Development
Custom WordPress websites built in Bricks Builder. Fast, clean, and designed to convert visitors into enquiries. Technical SEO and hosting included — no separate contracts.
WordPress Development
Existing WordPress site that needs work — custom functionality, performance improvements, or a structural overhaul. I handle that too.
WooCommerce and Ecommerce
WooCommerce stores for Cape Town businesses — from small product catalogues to larger retail operations. Payments, shipping, and inventory all set up correctly from the start.
Website Redesign
Outdated, slow, or not converting? A redesign is often more cost-effective than starting over. I assess what's worth keeping and rebuild around it.
Logo and Branding
Logo and brand design as part of the build or as a standalone project. Designed to work across your website, social media, and print.
Real Estate Websites
Cape Town's property market deserves better than a generic agency template. Listing functionality, lead capture, photography-forward design. More on this below.
How I Build Your Website
The Process
No mystery, no disappearing for six weeks and reappearing with something you didn't ask for. Here's exactly how a project works from first contact to launch.
1
Discovery Call
We talk about your business, goals, and what you actually need. I ask the questions that matter. No obligation, no sales pitch.
2
Proposal and Quote
A clear proposal — scope, timeline, and price. No vague estimates, no hourly rates that balloon. You know what it costs before anything starts.
3
Design and Build
Built in Bricks Builder on WordPress. You see it before it goes live — revisions are part of the process, not an extra charge.
4
Technical SEO Setup
Full SEO checklist before launch — page speed, mobile, structured data, meta data, crawl setup. Built in, not charged separately.
5
Launch and Handover
Your site goes live. I walk you through managing it yourself — without needing a developer every time something needs changing.
