00Website Consulting

Not Happy With Your Current Web Designer? Let's Talk.

You invested in a website and something's not right — it's not performing, communication has broken down, or you just don't know where things stand. We offer independent, honest consulting to help you understand your situation and find the best path forward.

01Problem Areas

Sound Familiar? Signs You Need an Independent Opinion

You’re not alone. Here are the situations we hear most often from South African business owners.

My designer has gone quiet

Emails go unanswered, deadlines keep slipping and you’re not sure if your project is even progressing. You feel stuck and don’t know your options.

I don’t understand what I’m paying for

The quotes keep growing, the work doesn’t match the brief and technical jargon is being used to confuse rather than explain. You need clarity.

My website isn’t performing

The site is live but nothing is happening — no enquiries, poor Google ranking, slow loading or high bounce rates. You need to know what’s wrong and how to fix it.

My designer holds my website hostage

You don’t have access to your own hosting, domain or CMS. Making changes require going through your designer — and they charge for everything. We can help you take back control.

I’m paying monthly but don’t know what for

Monthly retainers or maintenance fees with no clear reports, no measurable outcomes and no transparency. Is the money being well spent? We’ll help you find out.

I want to switch but don’t know how

You know it’s time to move on but you’re worried about losing your website, SEO ranking or data. We’ll guide you through a safe, professional transition.

02Pricing

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Billed in 30-minute increments. No contracts — book as many or as few hours as you need. 50% deposit to confirm, balance due after. Written summary and action plan included after every session. Prices include VAT.

03UX Consulting

General UX & Digital Consulting

You don’t need to be in a dispute with a designer to benefit from consulting. Many of our clients simply want an experienced, independent perspective on their digital presence — before spending money, after a redesign, or when something just feels off.

UX Review & Usability Audit

We walk through your website the way a real visitor does — identifying where people get confused, lose interest or drop off. You’ll get a clear list of usability improvements ranked by impact.

Information Architecture

Is your navigation logical? Do visitors find what they’re looking for without thinking? We review your site structure, menu flow and page hierarchy — and recommend a layout that guides users naturally toward conversion.

Design Feedback & Direction

Not sure if a design direction is right? About to brief a designer and want to get clear on what you need? We’ll help you articulate your requirements, evaluate mockups and ensure you get what you’re actually asking for.

Mobile Experience Review

Over 70% of South African web traffic is mobile. We test your site across devices, identify issues with tap targets, font sizes, layout shifts and load performance — and give you a prioritised fix list.

Conversion Optimisation Advice

Getting traffic but no enquiries? We review your calls-to-action, contact forms, trust signals and page flow. Small changes to copy, layout and button placement can dramatically increase the percentage of visitors who take action.

Plain-English Second Opinion

Sometimes you just need someone with experience to look at something and tell you honestly — is this good? Is this overpriced? Does this make sense? No jargon, no agenda. Just an honest answer from someone who knows.

04What We Cover

What a Consulting Session Includes

Website Audit & Review

We review your current website in detail — design quality, code structure, mobile responsiveness, page speed, SEO setup and security. You’ll know exactly what’s working and what isn’t.

Project Assessment

If your website project is incomplete or stalled, we assess where things stand — what’s been done, what’s outstanding, whether the pricing is fair and what your legal options are.

Strategy & Direction

We help you define a clear digital strategy — what your website should achieve, how it should be structured, what technology is appropriate and what a realistic budget looks like.

Access & Ownership Recovery

We help you regain control of your domain, hosting account, website files and CMS — and advise on how to ensure you never lose access again.

Designer Transition Planning

Switching designers without losing your website, SEO history or data requires careful planning. We map out a safe migration strategy so nothing falls through the cracks.

Performance & ROI Review

Is your website generating leads? We review your analytics, Google Search Console, conversion rates and digital marketing spend — and tell you honestly whether you’re getting value.
