The Durban economy, and what it does to a brief

Durban runs on the port. Clearing and forwarding agents, transporters, warehousing operators, customs brokers and the entire supply chain around them make up a large share of the small business base, and their websites have a specific job: prove you are established, list exactly which services you handle, and make it easy for a shipper who has never heard of you to start a conversation. Nobody in that chain is browsing — they are checking.

Running alongside that is a genuine tourism economy on both coasts, which behaves almost the opposite way. Beachfront accommodation, North Coast venues, activity operators and restaurants are being found by people planning a trip, often from Gauteng, comparing four options on a phone. Speed, photographs and a booking route decide those.

The third thing worth naming is the growth corridor north of the city. Umhlanga, Ballito and the wider North Coast have absorbed a lot of businesses relocating out of the CBD over the last decade, and a lot of those businesses are still trading on a website that lists an old Durban address. If that is you, the fix is a redesign rather than a new build. And whether you arrived here searching for a web designer or a web developer, the brief and the price are the same.

Who we build for in Durban

Freight, clearing and logistics

Clearing agents, transporters, warehousing and customs brokers around the port and Bayhead who need a credible services page and easy contact.

Accommodation and tourism

Beachfront and North Coast guest houses, venues and operators where mobile load speed and photography decide the booking.

Manufacturing and industrial supply

Manufacturers and suppliers in Pinetown, Mobeni, Jacobs and Prospecton selling into trade rather than to the public.

Trades and home services

Builders, electricians, pool and security specialists across the Berea, Westville, Hillcrest and the Upper Highway — the same structure as construction company sites.

Website design Durban: what it costs

Most website designers in Durban quote by the hour against a scope that moves during the project. We quote a fixed price against a fixed page count. That is the main difference between us and most web developers in Durban.

Durban business typePackagePagesOnce-offWhy that one

Every Durban build is priced from the same three fixed packages — R2 950 for a three-page Starter, R4 950 for a seven-page Business site and R7 950 for a twelve-page Pro site. Hosting and your domain are covered for the first year, and there is no hourly billing at any point.

The full inclusion list, the things that cost extra, and an honest comparison against building it yourself is on the website design packages page.

Nearby: we work in Pietermaritzburg and Bloemfontein. If you are somewhere else in South Africa entirely, that is fine — every build is done remotely, and the full picture — packages, prices, industries — starts on the homepage.

Common questions from Durban businesses

How much does a website cost in Durban?

R2 950, R4 950 or R7 950 depending on how many pages you need — fixed, quoted up front, with hosting and your domain covered for the first year. Full detail on the packages and prices page.

Do you work with businesses in Ballito and Umhlanga?

Yes — Umhlanga, Ballito, Salt Rock and the rest of the North Coast are covered from this page, along with the Upper Highway and the South Coast. We work remotely, so where you are in KZN makes no difference to the price.

Can you build a site that handles quotes rather than online sales?

That is most of what we build. A quote-request site needs a form that asks the right qualifying questions up front so you are not going back and forth on email before you can price anything. If you do want to sell online, that is the e-commerce route instead.
