Websites & online stores

Websites & online stores for small and growing businesses, from a Cape Town software company. A website tells people who you are and how to reach you, and an online store shows what you sell.

Tell us what you need

What you get

Two things, one
conversation.

We build it for your business, and you do not need to pick a technology first. It is for small and growing businesses that need to be found, or need to sell online.

A website

It tells people who you are, what you do and how to reach you. Words and pictures need someone to keep them up to date, so decide early who that will be.

An online store

An online store shows your products to people who want to buy. Some things are yours to decide and discuss: whether you take payment online, how stock and delivery are handled, and how orders reach your customers.

Before we start

What we will
ask you.

A few short questions. You do not need the answers ready.

  1. What should a visitor do on your site?
  2. Do you want to sell online? What, and to whom?
  3. What do you already have: a name, a logo, photographs, words, a web address?
  4. Who will keep it up to date?
  5. What should happen after it goes live?

How it starts

You do not need to choose a technology.

Send us a few lines about what is not working, or what you want to be able to do. We talk it through with you and ask questions until the job is clear. If it goes ahead, we agree with you what to make and build it with you. Ongoing help is not assumed. It is talked through if you want it.

Need something bigger? See Business software. Already have a site or shop that is not working? See Support & improvements. A ready-made system may fit: read about Ready-made software.

Do I need a web designer or developer?

You need someone to plan and build the site, but you do not need to choose a technology yourself. Describe what you want the site to do, and we will say what is needed.
