About

Two brothers, two countries.

We started this because we kept noticing the same thing: good local businesses — people who are genuinely excellent at what they do — losing work to competitors with worse service and better websites.

The gap isn't skill. It's that building a decent website has historically been expensive, slow, and full of jargon designed to make you feel like you shouldn't ask questions. Most owners we talk to have either been quoted something eye-watering or been burned by someone who disappeared halfway through.

So we kept it deliberately small and deliberately cheap. A short list of services, published prices, and work we're willing to put our own name on. We'd rather build forty affordable sites that actually help than a handful of expensive ones.

There are two of us, and we're brothers — one in the United States, one in South Africa. That means we work remotely, over email and calls and shared drafts you can react to. It also means we've seen what a small budget actually looks like in both places, which is why our prices are set separately for each country rather than converted from one to the other.

How we work

Four things we hold ourselves to.

We tell you when you don't need us

If your existing site is fine, or the money is better spent on something else, we'll say so. We'd rather lose a job than sell you something you don't need.

The price doesn't move

You get a fixed quote before we start. If we underestimated the work, that's our problem to absorb, not a change order for you to sign.

You own everything

Your domain, your site, your content. If you leave, we hand it all over. Nothing is locked to us.

Plain English, always

You'll never get an email full of terms you have to look up. If we can't explain something simply, that's on us.

Where we are

One brother here, one there.

One of us is in the United States, the other in South Africa. We work with clients remotely in both countries, which keeps our costs down — and that's a large part of why we can charge what we charge.

It does mean we won't be turning up at your premises. If having someone local who can visit in person matters to you, that's a fair requirement and we're not the right fit.

Tell us about your business — no charge and no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
