Do you work with Cape Town clients remotely?

Yes — every Western Cape client we work with is served remotely. All briefing, design review and project work happens over Google Meet, WhatsApp and shared docs. We've delivered for Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Hermanus and George without ever needing to meet in person. The asynchronous workflow keeps your project moving even when Cape Town traffic doesn't.

Can you build a website for my winery, restaurant or guest house?

Yes — hospitality, food & beverage, and tourism are some of our most-built verticals. We integrate booking systems (resOS, Now Book It, custom calendars), online ordering, gift voucher purchases, and multilingual content for international guests. We can also handle Google Business Profile optimisation so you appear when tourists search nearby.

Will my site work well for tourists on slow international connections?

Yes. We optimise every site for Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s, Cumulative Layout Shift under 0.1, Interaction to Next Paint under 200ms. Images are served as next-gen formats (WebP/AVIF), fonts are subset, and pages stream where possible. International visitors get a fast experience even on hotel WiFi.

How do your prices compare to Cape Town agencies?

Cape Town CBD agencies typically quote between R30,000 and R200,000 for a custom website, driven by office overheads and brand premium. Our prices start at R5,500 because we operate as a remote, lean team. The technical quality is the same — sometimes better, since we focus exclusively on conversion-led builds.

Do you build sites in Afrikaans or for bilingual audiences?

Yes. We build multilingual sites with proper hreflang setup, language switching, and per-language SEO. Common combinations are English/Afrikaans for local audiences and English/German or English/French for tourism-led businesses.

Websites for the Western Cape's design-led economy

Custom websites, e-commerce stores and web applications for Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Hermanus, George and the rest of the Western Cape.

Web design and development in Western Cape

WeMakeSites builds websites and web applications for businesses across the Western Cape — Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West, Hermanus, George and the surrounding regions. We work remotely with Cape clients, delivering the same outcome a CBD agency would but without the hourly rate. Custom sites from R5,500, e-commerce from R15,000. Most projects go live in 3–6 weeks. The Western Cape has the most design-conscious client base in the country — the wine, hospitality, tourism and tech industries here demand a level of polish that other provinces don't. We build with that bar in mind: typography, motion, layout and brand voice get the attention they deserve, not just functional templates. Every project includes Core Web Vitals optimisation, structured data, and ongoing care plan options.

Doing business in Western Cape

The Western Cape has a different business climate to the rest of South Africa. The wine industry, tourism around the Cape Peninsula and Garden Route, the design and creative sector, the Silicon Cape tech cluster, and a strong professional services base in Cape Town CBD all demand websites that look the part. "Looks the part" isn't subjective fluff — it's a real business factor. A boutique winery, a Camps Bay restaurant, or a Sea Point boutique hotel can lose a year of bookings to a competitor with a better-photographed, better-designed website, regardless of price or product quality.

We've built for clients in tourism, e-commerce, food & beverage, professional services and tech in the region, and the consistent pattern is this: the Cape market rewards taste. A clean, fast, considered site that loads in under two seconds and reads like a real human wrote it will outperform a flashier R80,000 build every time.

The Western Cape also has unique technical needs — high mobile traffic from tourists, multilingual considerations for international visitors, and a heavier reliance on integrated booking, ordering or e-commerce flows. We handle all of that, plus the ongoing care plan that keeps your site secure and fast as traffic spikes during peak season.
