About

I’m a Cape Town-based web developer and designer who’s spent the last 12+ years building websites for tourism operators, wine estates, glamping sites, e-commerce brands, and professional services. I work mainly with WordPress (Elementor Pro) and Shopify, plus custom code when needed, and care a lot about speed, security, and making sites that are actually easy for clients to use. Happy to take on full builds, redesigns, or ongoing support - let’s make something that looks great and works properly.

Pontem Home is a European bathroom design company in Oakwood Village, Ohio, selling brands such as Decor Walther, Baden Haus and JEE-O. They needed an online store that keeps up with a catalogue where new products are added weekly. Pontem Home is a Shopify store I work on. Shoppers can browse by brand, see Quick Ship and Clearance lines, save products to a wishlist and find a local dealer. I keep the store up to date as the range changes.

los lappies is a Cape Town brand that sells reusable plant-fibre cloths and face rounds, designed, printed and packed in Cape Town. They needed an online shop that sells the product, not the slogan. I designed and built the shop on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor. Each product page shows the print designs as image swatches, with delivery details right under the basket button, and a free delivery offer runs across the top of every page.

Trekos Glamping is an off-grid glamping stay near Trekoskraal Beach on the West Coast, with restored caravans, a shipping container and luxury tents. They needed a site that shows each stay clearly and turns visitors into booking enquiries. I designed and built the site on WordPress with Elementor, giving each stay its own page with amenities, guest reviews and an enquiry form that already names the stay. After launch I look after maintenance for the site.

Designed and developed a clean, professional website for Navigate using WordPress and Elementor. Navigate is a trusted technology partner that helps leaders of small to mid-sized businesses (10–200+ employees) implement and manage powerful cloud tools — especially HubSpot CRM — along with automations, integrations, dashboards, and AI-driven workflows. Their goal is to give business owners real visibility, smoother operations, and the confidence to steer growth without the usual tech headaches. I created a modern, trustworthy, and easy-to-navigate site that perfectly reflects their tagline “Know where your business is and steer with confidence.” The design clearly showcases their services, founder expertise, client results, and human-centred approach, with strong calls-to-action that make it simple for potential clients to understand the value and get in touch. webdesigner
