Layer 02

Turning the traffic you already paid for into money.

Fast, clear websites and interfaces that get out of the way of someone trying to give you their money. Built to be measured, not just admired.

Web development

Built to be the fastest site in your category.

The average South African business site is WordPress carrying nine years of plugins, four of which do the same thing and one of which nobody can explain. It takes eight seconds on a phone in Fourways. We build on Astro and Next, ship to a global edge network, and hold the result to a performance budget enforced in the pipeline. Speed here is an engineering standard, not a launch-day screenshot.

What you get

  • Built on Astro or Next, hosted on a global CDN
  • Loads in under two seconds on mid-range Android over 4G
  • You can edit the content without phoning us
  • Analytics and conversion tracking from day one
  • A performance budget in the build pipeline so it cannot silently rot

UI and UX design

Nobody has ever reached slide four of a homepage carousel.

Not one person, in the history of the internet. And yet the carousel persists, along with the cookie banner covering the phone number and the form demanding a company registration number before it will take an enquiry. Good design is mostly the removal of obstacles somebody else added on purpose.

What you get

  • Real user flows, mapped before anything gets drawn
  • Mobile first, because that is where your traffic is
  • Accessible by default, which is also better for everyone
  • Prototypes you can click before we build anything expensive

Design and brand

If your logo has a gradient, a swoosh and three fonts, we should talk.

It probably got made at eleven at night in Canva during the week you registered the company. That was the right call then. It is a less right call now that you are quoting on six figure work with a stock handshake photo on your invoice header.

What you get

  • Logo and identity, in every format you will need
  • Colour and type that survive being shrunk to a thumbnail
  • Templates for quotes, invoices, proposals and social
  • A short brand guide, not a fifty page bible nobody opens

Site speed and conversion optimisation

This page scores 100. So will yours.

Performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO, all at 100 on the page you are reading, with a budget wired into the build that fails the deploy if any of them slips. Most agencies will show you a Lighthouse screenshot of a client site on a good day. Run PageSpeed Insights against this domain instead, right now, and then run it against your own.

What you get

  • Core Web Vitals audit using real visitor data, not just lab scores
  • Image, font and JavaScript surgery
  • A performance budget that fails the build on regression
  • Before and after numbers, in rand
