Web Design Studio · South Africa
Built to convert. Delivered in 3–7 days.
An innovative web design studio building clean, fast, mobile-first websites for service businesses in Cape Town, Joburg, Durban, Pretoria and across South Africa. Designed by hand, built faster with AI.
Who We Build For
If customers enquire, book or ask for a quote before they pay you, we're built for you. Every site we make is designed to turn visitors into enquiries and bookings.
We don't build online shops. If you need to sell products with a cart and checkout, a dedicated e-commerce platform will serve you better. Not sure which you need?
What We Build
Get online fast. Perfect for running ads.
Your full online presence. Done properly.
Full site plus a dedicated page for paid ads.
Once-off prices. All packages include 2 rounds of revisions. Additional pages, logo design and monthly care are available as add-ons. Domain and hosting are quoted separately unless you already have your own. Your exact price is confirmed in your quote.
Our Promises
Your domain is registered in your name, and you get the logins to your website and hosting. If we ever stop working together, you keep it all.
Your quote is a fixed price for a clear scope. 50% to start, 50% when your site is ready. No surprise invoices.
If you’re not happy with the first preview of your website, we refund your deposit in full.
Terms applyTell us what you’d like changed and we’ll update it, twice, at no extra cost.
The Process
Seven simple steps. Most websites are live within a week of us receiving your content.
Step 2 of 7 · When you’re ready
Accept your quote and pay the 50% deposit by EFT. We book your build into our schedule.
Step 3 of 7 · Your part
A simple form for your logo, photos, services and contact details. We guide you through it, so it never feels like homework.
Step 4 of 7 · 3–7 working days
We design your site by hand around your business, and use AI tools to build it fast, without cutting corners.
Step 5 of 7 · Your review
You get a live preview link to click through on your phone and computer. 2 rounds of changes are included, and if you’re unhappy with the first preview, you get your deposit back.
Step 6 of 7 · Launch day
Once you’re happy, pay the balance. We connect your domain, make sure Google can find your site and hand over your logins.
Step 7 of 7 · After launch
Add monthly maintenance if you’d like us to keep things running, or take the keys and manage it yourself. Either way, the website is yours.
Ready when you are: get your quoteTap a step or use the arrows to walk through it.

“Lucia understood my vision from day one — translating my brand into a site that’s as elegant and considered as the trips themselves.”
“What stood out most was Lucia’s willingness to genuinely understand the vision behind The Khanya Collective rather than simply build a website from a brief… I would highly recommend Lucia and Paperclip Studio to anyone looking for a creative partner.”
“I have been working with Lucia for over 2 years now and I can confidently say she is the best I have dealt with in 20 years of business.”
“Paperclip Studio built the website [for] us. They finished it in record time: we went from first chat to a live site in 5 days. The site is beautifully designed and looks exactly like our brand. Communication was easy the whole way through…”
FAQ
Service-based businesses, such as trades, salons, consultants, cleaners, guesthouses, tourism and events companies, and professional practices. Our websites are built to bring in enquiries and bookings for the services you offer. We don’t build e-commerce websites or online shops, so if you need to sell products with a cart and checkout, a dedicated e-commerce platform will suit you better.
Most projects are completed in 3–7 business days, depending on how quickly we receive your content.
Your logo, business photos (or we use stock images), your services list, and contact details. We send a simple intake form to collect everything.
Yes — every site we build is fully mobile-responsive and tested across devices.
We can register your domain and set up hosting as an add-on, or deliver the files to host on your own server. Either way it is priced in your quote.
If you’re unhappy with the first full preview of your website, we refund your deposit in full. Just let us know within 7 days of receiving the preview, before requesting changes. Otherwise, 2 rounds of changes are included to get it right. Full terms are on our Terms page.
We are an online studio, so we accept payment by EFT. A 50% deposit is required to start, and the balance is due on delivery.
