Website Design & E-commerce

WEB & E-COMMERCE

Websites built around your business.

From a simple business website to an online store, we design and build websites around what you actually need. That can include landing pages, larger company websites, redesigns and the ongoing hosting and support that comes after launch.

WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

A website should do more than just look good.

Your website is often the first place someone goes to find out who you are, what you do and whether they should get in touch. We build websites that make that information easy to find while giving your business a professional online presence that is straightforward to manage and built around what you actually need.

Some businesses need a simple brochure-style website. Others need an online store, a more involved company website or a redesign of something that already exists. We work across those different requirements rather than forcing every business into the same package.

WHAT WE BUILD

Different businesses need different websites.

There isn’t one type of website that suits everyone. A small local business might only need a few well-written pages, while an established company may need a larger site with more information, or an online store with products and payments. Here’s where we can help.

01 BUSINESS WEBSITES

A professional website that gives people the information they need.

A business website should make it easy for someone to understand what you do, see what you offer and know how to contact you. We design websites around your business, whether you need a simple one-page site, a standard multi-page company website or something larger.

Suitable for:

  • New businesses
  • Small and medium-sized businesses
  • Service businesses
  • Professional practices
  • Local businesses
  • Companies replacing an outdated website

Typical pages can include:

  • Home
  • About
  • Services
  • Contact
  • FAQs
  • Areas We Serve
  • Blog
  • Other pages where they make sense.

02 E-COMMERCE

Sell products or services online.

If your business needs to sell online, we can build an e-commerce website around your products, services and the way you actually operate. This can include product pages, categories, shopping carts, checkout, payment setup and the basic structure needed to manage an online store.

Suitable for:

  • Product businesses
  • Retailers
  • Small online stores
  • Service businesses selling online
  • Businesses moving from social media or marketplace sales to their own website

03 LANDING PAGES

One page with one clear job.

Landing pages are useful when you don’t need a full website or when you want a dedicated page for a particular campaign, service or offer. We can create focused landing pages for advertising, lead generation, specific services, events or other campaigns.

A landing page could be used for:

  • A Google Ads campaign
  • A Meta advertising campaign
  • A specific service
  • A product
  • A promotional offer
  • An event
  • A lead-generation campaign

04 WEBSITE REDESIGN

Your current website might not need throwing away. It might just need work.

An old website can still contain useful content, pages and information even if the design no longer works. We can review what you already have and rebuild or redesign the site where it makes sense, rather than assuming everything needs to start again from scratch.

Common reasons for a redesign:

  • The site looks dated
  • It isn’t mobile-friendly
  • The information is difficult to find
  • The navigation needs work
  • The branding has changed
  • The website is difficult to update
  • The business has changed
  • The site no longer represents the business properly

Need something different?

That’s fine. Website projects don’t always fit neatly into page counts. Send us the details and we’ll work out what the project actually needs.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

We build the website, not just the pages.

The exact scope depends on the project, but a typical website build involves more than simply putting a few pages together. We handle the design and build, help organise the content and make sure the important parts are working before the site goes live.

  • WEBSITE BUILD

    The actual design and development of the website around the agreed structure and requirements.

  • MOBILE RESPONSIVE

    The site is built to work properly across desktop, tablet and mobile screens.

  • BASIC WEBSITE SETUP

    Core website settings, menus, page structure and the practical setup needed to get the site working properly.

  • CONTACT / ENQUIRY FUNCTIONALITY

    Contact forms or other basic enquiry functionality where required.

  • BASIC SEO SETUP

    Core on-page SEO elements such as page titles, descriptions, headings and other basic search settings.

  • LAUNCH

    We get the website live and check the important elements before handing it over.

MORE THAN THE BUILD

Need something around the website as well?

A website project can involve more than the main build. Depending on what you need, we can also help with landing pages, website updates, content changes, domain-related setup, basic integrations and other practical website work.

  • Landing pages

    Focused pages for campaigns, services, advertising and lead generation.

  • Website updates

    Changes to existing pages, sections, images and content.

  • Content changes

    Adding, editing or restructuring website content.

  • Domain / DNS setup

    Practical setup where domain settings need to be connected to the website.

  • Basic integrations

    Connecting common tools and services where required by the project.

  • Website troubleshooting

    Help with existing website issues where the problem can be diagnosed and addressed.

AFTER LAUNCH

Keep your website running properly.

Getting the website live is only part of it. Websites still need hosting, updates, maintenance and the occasional bit of help afterwards. We offer ongoing support for clients who would rather have someone they can contact when something needs doing.

HOSTING

Keep your website hosted and online without having to manage the technical side yourself.

From R195/month

MAINTENANCE

Regular website maintenance and updates for businesses that want someone keeping an eye on the site.

From R395/month

MAINTENANCE + CREATIVE

Website maintenance combined with ongoing creative support where you regularly need content or design changes.

From R895/month

PRIORITY SUPPORT

For clients who need a higher level of ongoing support and quicker attention when something needs dealing with.

From R995/month

You don’t have to take ongoing support with every website build. If you prefer to manage the site yourself, that’s completely fine. The options are there for businesses that would rather have someone looking after things.

RECENT WEBSITE WORK

Websites we've designed and built.

Here’s a selection of website projects we’ve worked on for businesses in different industries. The projects vary in size and purpose, but each one was built around what that particular business needed.

HELPFUL GUIDES

Thinking about a new website?

We’ve put together practical guides covering some of the questions that usually come up before, during and after a website project.

FAQs

Regular questions about our websites and e-commerce services.

HOW LONG DOES A WEBSITE TAKE TO BUILD?

It depends on the size of the website, how quickly content is supplied and how much functionality is involved. A straightforward business website can move relatively quickly, while larger websites and e-commerce projects naturally take longer.

DO YOU BUILD WEBSITES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES?

Yes. We work with small and growing businesses as well as more established companies. The website is scoped around what the business actually needs rather than assuming every client needs a large website.

CAN YOU REDESIGN MY EXISTING WEBSITE?

Yes. We can review the existing site and work out whether it makes sense to redesign it, rebuild parts of it or start again with a new structure.

DO YOU BUILD E-COMMERCE WEBSITES?

Yes. We build online stores for businesses that need to sell products or services online. The exact functionality depends on what you’re selling and how the store needs to work.

CAN YOU HELP WITH WEBSITE CONTENT?

We can help with the structure and presentation of the content, and additional content or copywriting can be discussed where required. It depends on the project and what you already have.

DO YOU HOST THE WEBSITES YOU BUILD?

Yes. Hosting is available as an ongoing service, but you’re not required to use it. The website and hosting can be discussed as part of the project.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY WEBSITE GOES LIVE?

You can manage the website yourself, or we can continue helping with hosting, maintenance, updates and other support depending on what you need.

CAN YOU ADD SOMETHING LATER?

In many cases, yes. Websites can often be expanded as the business grows. That might mean adding pages, new functionality, landing pages, e-commerce features or other integrations.

DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH BUSINESSES IN SOUTH AFRICA?

No. Vivid Designs is based in South Africa and can work with businesses irrespective of their physical location. Our work is handled remotely to avoid any potential geographical limitations.
