Web design and development in Durban
WeMakeSites builds websites for Durban businesses — CBD, Glenwood, Berea, Morningside, Umhlanga, Pinetown, Westville and the broader eThekwini metro. We serve Durban remotely with the same scope and pricing as the rest of South Africa: standard custom sites from R5,500 (3–4 weeks), e-commerce from R15,000 (4–6 weeks), web apps scoped per project. Durban has a unique commercial mix: the busiest container port in southern Africa and the deep B2B logistics ecosystem around it, manufacturing along the Pinetown-Westmead corridor, the North Coast tourism boom (Umhlanga, Ballito), and a strong consumer retail economy. We've built across all of these. Every site includes mobile-first design, on-page SEO, structured data and Core Web Vitals optimisation. Care plans from R449/month.
Doing business in Durban
Durban's economy hinges on the Port. Container shipping, freight forwarding, logistics, customs broking, agricultural exports (sugar, citrus, manganese), industrial supply — the port drives the deep B2B layer of Durban's web work. These clients need websites that emphasise operational credibility: spec sheets, accreditations, integration with tracking systems, RFQ workflows that procurement teams can complete without phone calls. We build that.
The Pinetown-Westmead industrial corridor is a manufacturing belt that produces everything from automotive components to consumer goods. Supplier-side B2B websites here are often technical-document-heavy with long sales cycles. We've built sites for fabricators, plastics manufacturers and food processors in this corridor.
Umhlanga and the North Coast are a different economy — tourism, residential property development, and the corporate corridor that's emerged around Umhlanga Ridge. These clients need design-led websites with bookings, e-commerce, or property listings, optimised for the international and Gauteng visitor traffic that drives the North Coast.
Durban CBD's retail and consumer economy mirrors most South African metros: clothing, food and lifestyle e-commerce, restaurants and hospitality, professional services. We work across all of these.
Durban has a heavy-mobile audience and patchy network conditions in some suburbs — we tune for sub-2.5s LCP on 4G even in areas where signal is unreliable.
