Can you build international shipping for an export business?

Yes — Durban's port location makes international shipping a natural strength, and we've built international flows for South Coast and Midlands exporters. Multi-currency, customs documentation, integrated international payment.

Will my store work on patchy Durban suburban networks?

Yes. We tune for sub-2.5s LCP on 3G — fonts subset, images served as next-gen formats, page weight under 1MB on most templates. Customers in the suburbs and on the coast get the same fast experience CBD shoppers do.

Can you integrate Bob Go and Courier Guy for Durban-out-Gauteng-in shipping?

Yes — Bob Go for branded label generation across multiple couriers, Courier Guy for in-metro and cross-province, Aramex for international. All integrate with order workflows.

Can you build B2B distribution stores for Pinetown industrial clients?

Yes. We've built B2B portals with custom pricing tiers, account-based ordering, RFQ workflows and ERP integration for industrial distributors in the Pinetown-Westmead corridor.

E-Commerce for Durban businesses

WeMakeSites builds custom e-commerce stores for Durban businesses from R15,000. We deliver to clients across CBD, Glenwood, Berea, Morningside, Umhlanga, Pinetown, Westville and the broader eThekwini metro. Stores ship in 4–6 weeks on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom Next.js depending on scale. Every build includes local payment (PayFast, Yoco, Stripe, Ozow), local shipping (Bob Go, Courier Guy, Aramex, Pargo, PUDO), product schema, customer accounts and abandoned-cart recovery. Durban's port-and-logistics location means shipping costs and delivery times are advantages — we build sites that surface those clearly. Mobile-first design tuned for sub-2.5s LCP, even on patchy network conditions across the metro.

Why Durban businesses choose us

Durban's e-commerce has a structural advantage most operators don't surface: the port. National shipping from Durban is faster and cheaper than from inland metros for many product categories, and international export logistics run through Durban's harbour. Stores that surface this clearly — "Ships from Durban — same-day Gauteng delivery," or "International shipping handled out of Durban port" — convert better because they answer customer concerns before customers raise them.

We build with that in mind. Local shipping integration (Bob Go, Courier Guy) with delivery-time estimates surfaced on product pages. International shipping flows for export-led stores. Multi-warehouse setups for operators shipping from both Durban and Gauteng.

Durban's mobile audience is heavy and patchy. North Coast tourists on hotel WiFi, locals in suburbs with unreliable signal, retail customers on shared mobile data plans. We tune Core Web Vitals aggressively — sub-2.5s LCP on 3G, fonts subset, images served as WebP/AVIF, JavaScript kept lean.

We build across Durban's range: retail e-commerce for the consumer market, B2B distribution for the Pinetown industrial base, tourism gift-store integration for Umhlanga and the North Coast, agricultural produce e-commerce for the inland-Natal export business.
