Led by Mthokozisi Msipa, eight years in performance, product and growth across Ogilvy, Legacy Motor Group and Digify Africa. Full story
Small business and corporate website development for security, construction, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, logistics, cleaning, accounting, legal and engineering firms, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to Cape Town and Durban.
No account manager relaying messages. Johannesburg-based web developers, on WhatsApp, same time zone as you.
A site nobody enquires through is an expensive brochure. Every page is structured around one action, with UX and UI designed to convert.
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity configured from day one, so you know which advert, page or search produced the job and what it cost.
Websites built for the businesses that keep South Africa running
This is how your idea becomes a live website in 7 days.
Day 1. Twenty minutes on WhatsApp: what you sell, who buys it, what a customer is worth. That's the whole brief.
Days 2–4. Copy, design and mobile testing. You get a link the moment there's something to see, and we refine it together.
Day 5. Once the design is right, we make it real. One round of changes, sent as voice notes if that's easier.
Days 6–7. Live, indexed, with WhatsApp and call tracking running from the first visitor. Yours to keep, always.

Our website development services cover four jobs, in the order they happen. Skip one and the rest stop paying.
Nobody scrolls to page two at midnight. They call whoever is at the top, with the SEO and AI-search visibility to be found there.
Contact forms get ignored for two days. WhatsApp gets answered in two minutes.
"Marketing is working" is a feeling. Revenue traced back to Google Ads is a fact, connected straight to the systems you already run.
Most lost jobs were never lost to a competitor. Nobody followed up.

Including the calls you missed, which are usually the expensive ones.
Plain English. Leads, sources, cost per lead, revenue. One page.

Real South African businesses, real results. We don't publish anything a client hasn't approved.
Procurement managers decide in seconds whether you look serious. Our old website was slow and buried everything that mattered. CliqWorx rebuilt it properly and the quote requests coming through now are better quality and far more of them.
We were losing print jobs to a quote form nobody wanted to fill in. CliqWorx cut it down to a WhatsApp message and the enquiries jumped almost immediately. The site is quick, clean and it actually brings us work.
Almost all my clients find me on their phones, and my old site was too slow to hold them. The new one opens instantly and finally looks as premium as the coaching I sell. Sign-ups have grown properly since launch.
Builders were phoning five suppliers just to compare a price on cement. CliqWorx built us a marketplace that is quick, easy to trust and actually gets orders placed online. The order volume speaks for itself.
In transport, nobody trusts a platform they have not seen prove itself. CliqWorx built something fast that makes verification obvious on the first screen. Driver registrations climbed without us having to sell anyone.
Every automation platform claims the same things. CliqWorx repositioned us around the outcome instead of the tech, and built it to load fast. Demo bookings went up and the sales calls start much further along.
We needed people to actually start learning, not just visit a website. CliqWorx built us a WhatsApp-first experience that got people chatting from day one. Fast to launch, and it just works.
In health, trust matters more than anything else on a page. CliqWorx understood that and built us a site that feels credible from the first scroll, loads quickly, and turns more visitors into booked consultations.

No jargon, no sales pitch. Practical guides on cost, performance and conversion for South African businesses. See all website insights.

A straight breakdown of website design and development pricing across the South African market, what actually drives the cost, and how to judge return rather than shopping on price alone.

Our website design packages start from R1,999 for a starter site, R4,999 for a full business website and R7,999 for an e-commerce store. Custom web applications are quoted after a short call. Every price is a from-price: the final quote depends on pages, features and content, and you approve it before any work starts.
Yes, for landing pages and standard business websites. Day one is a twenty-minute call about what you sell and who buys it. Days two to four we build. Day five you review it. Days six and seven we launch and connect tracking. Online stores and custom web applications take longer, and we'll say so upfront rather than promise seven days and miss.
You do, fully. The domain is registered in your name, the website and its content belong to your business, and you keep access to everything. If you ever leave, you take the whole site with you.
Every website we build ships SEO-ready: clean structure, fast loading, mobile-first design, descriptive metadata and schema markup that helps Google understand your pages. Ongoing SEO campaigns and content are available separately once the site is live.
Yes. Our care plan covers website hosting, an SSL certificate, software updates, backups, security monitoring and small monthly improvements, so your website stays fast, secure and up to date without you thinking about it.
We are a Johannesburg-based web development agency and we work with businesses across South Africa, including Pretoria, Sandton, Cape Town, Durban and the wider Gauteng area. Almost everything happens over WhatsApp and video calls, so your location does not change the price or the timeline.
Most builds use Next.js and React with a headless CMS, which is what makes them fast enough to pass Core Web Vitals and rank well. For online stores we work with Shopify and WooCommerce, and we also take on Webflow and WordPress development where that is the better fit for how your team wants to manage content.
Yes. Website speed optimisation and conversion rate optimisation are the two things we get asked for most. We start by measuring what is actually happening, Core Web Vitals, where visitors drop off, which pages lose them, then fix the causes rather than guessing. If the underlying build is too dated to save, we will tell you that instead of billing you to patch it.
It depends on what is underneath. If the foundation is sound, a website redesign refreshes the design, speed and copy at lower cost. If the site is slow, outdated or invisible on Google, a rebuild on a modern stack usually pays for itself. We assess your current site honestly and recommend the cheaper path when it will do the job.
Tell us what your business does and what you need it to do. We'll reply on WhatsApp, usually within 30 minutes during business hours, and tell you straight whether we're the right fit.
