Web design for South African businesses.
Pixel Forge Studio designs and builds custom websites for South African businesses — coded from scratch, tuned for speed and search, and launched in 7 to 21 days. Websites from R3 995 once-off.
What custom web design actually gets you.
Most small-business websites in South Africa are theme installs — heavy, slow and identical to a thousand others. We write the code ourselves, which means your site loads faster, ranks better and can be shaped around how your business actually sells.

- Mobile-first layouts that look right on every screen size

Website design questions, answered.
How much does website design cost in South Africa?
Our sites start at R3 995 once-off for a starter website, R6 495 for a multi-page business site and R9 995 for an e-commerce store. Payment is split 50% on approval of your concept and 50% on completion. Optional hosting and care plans start at R180 per month.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects launch within 7 to 21 days from kick-off. The timeline depends on how quickly content, images and feedback come back to us.
Do you work with businesses outside your city?
Yes. We work with clients across South Africa — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha and everywhere between — over email, WhatsApp and video calls.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every build ships SEO-ready: server-rendered pages, clean heading structure, fast loading, unique titles and descriptions, structured data and a submitted sitemap. Ranking still takes time and consistent content, and we will tell you honestly which search terms are realistic for your business.
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes. Website transformations are a core service — we rebuild slow, dated or template-based sites without losing the search rankings you already have.
