Collaboration & Customer ServiceFrom start to finish, you are the hero of the story. Through our pre-project consultations and user-friendly questionnaires we listen carefully to your vision and get to know your business or nonprofit organization in detail so that your website isn’t just another template but a unique representation of your values, goals, and offerings. Communication is key; so we ensure that you always have a direct line of contact with the person(s) building your website. We keep you updated on our progress, welcome your input, and provide a reasonable number of revisions at key milestones.

Domain Registration & Set-UpWe can manage your domain registration, including purchasing and configuring DNS records, with the domain cost added to your project fee. If you already own the domain, we can help point the DNS records to the correct hosting.

Installation and Technical Set-UpBefore building the website, we perform a comprehensive technical setup to ensure a strong foundation. This includes tasks like domain registration and hosting configuration, CDN and caching setup for optimal speed, SSL activation, and creating necessary email addresses. For WordPress installations, we handle dashboard configuration, theme activation, security setups, Matomo analytics setup, and plugin installation. Additional e-commerce setups, such as WooCommerce and product listings, are completed if applicable. Each step in this technical phase is crucial for creating a secure, optimized, and ready-to-build environment.

Brand-Showcasing Custom DesignA tailored look and feel to reflect your unique brand identity, with full control over aesthetics and functionality.

Free Design & Content RevisionsWe offer at least 2 rounds of revisions for each page and section of your website, allowing you to provide feedback and ensure your vision is fully realized. Each round is an opportunity to make adjustments and fine-tune the details to your satisfaction. After 2 rounds per page or section, further revisions are billed at an hourly rate to ensure efficiency and project momentum. However, we’re confident that this won’t be necessary, as we take the time to understand your preferences and goals from the beginning, making these final touches minor tweaks rather than major changes.

Limitless Additional PagesWe can add as many additional pages as you need during the initial build or later on when scaling up, with costs ranging from $25/R250 to $125+/R1250+, depending on complexity and media included. Rather than using pre-made packages that may lead to overspending, we start with the basics and build according to your specific needs for affordability and efficiency.

Design Elements & FunctionalitiesWe are well-equipped to implement a wide range of different widgets and elements to create a seamless, visually appealing, and engaging user experience, including: headings and text boxes with countless different types of fonts (with the ability to upload custom fonts); highly customizable image elements; dynamic menus; media carousels and sliders; icons and icon boxes (with the ability to upload custom icons); search functions; contact forms; Google Maps; image galleries; video players (locally hosted or embedded from YouTube); video and SVG backgrounds; eye-catching and dynamic call-to-action buttons; custom animations (Lotties); social media feeds; live chat; reviews and testimonials sections; accordions, tabs, and toggle sections (for FAQs, for example); table of contents elements; progress bars; animated headlines; price tables; countdowns; and much more.

Responsive & Mobile-FriendlyYour site will be fully optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop users, ensuring the best experience on any device.

Accessibility StandardsEnsure the website meets accessibility standards (like WCAG), so that websites can be accessed by those who have trouble with visual impairments, hearing disabilities, motor limitations, cognitive impairments, and other accessibility challenges.

Website Load Speed OptimizationWe ensure your website loads quickly through a variety of methods, including image compression, file minification (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), caching strategies, lazy loading of media, and optimizing server response times. A faster website enhances user experience, reduces bounce rates, and can improve search engine rankings.

Comprehensive Website SecurityIncludes Web Application Firewall (WAF) which protects against common web attacks like brute force attacks and exploits; anti-spam measures; automated malware scanning (scans core files, themes, and plugins for malware, vulnerabilities, and suspicious code), and login protection (includes tools like two-factor authentication (2FA) and CAPTCHA for extra login protection); Real-time Threat Defense Feed (provides updated protection against known attackers and malicious IP addresses); File Integrity Monitoring (software that automatically compares core files with the WordPress repository to detect modifications). Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) setup for an encrypted and secure website in all web-browsers. Our security software of choice has an extensive network which is underpinned by its deployment across over 5 million websites worldwide. With such a large install base it has a vast network that continuously detects, analyzes, and learns from a high volume of cyber threats. This scale of deployment allows the software’s threat intelligence team to gather insights from real-world attacks and consistently improve its defenses against both new and evolving threats. Furthermore, if anything happens that is even slightly concerning about your website’s security, we will know about it in seconds via detailed automated security alerts.

WordPress CMS & Admin AreaWe use WordPress.org and its Content Management System (CMS) as the foundation for all the websites that we design and develop. As an open-source platform, WordPress benefits from a large, active community continuously innovating and enhancing the platform. This community-driven approach fosters sustainability, accessibility, distribution of power, and a commitment to ethical web practices. It enables us to create highly customizable, user-friendly websites with robust community support for ongoing enhancements (plugins and themes), security, and innovative features, and it allows us to host our websites independently with our eco-friendly hosting partners. You can choose to let us manage the site entirely, or you can dive into the admin area to explore the various features and upload your own content and blog posts, giving you insight into the tools, plugins, and code behind your website’s smooth operation. WordPress.org is the more advanced version of WordPress.com which is a hosting platform with limited customization but is more beginner friendly. WordPress powers over 40% of all websites, including more than 60 million sites globally. Our choice of WordPress.org brings flexibility, functionality, and ethical web practices to each project.

Email Addresses with Domain URLCreate professional branded email addresses, such as info@[yourdomain].com, using your own domain name. This feature enhances your brand’s credibility and allows for efficient communication. Please note, only clients that use our hosting & maintenance package can create and use email addresses.

Contact Form & Live ChatWe implement easy-to-use, customized contact forms that allow potential customers to get in touch quickly and efficiently. We also offer live chat functionality for real-time interaction, improving customer service and engagement. Both options can be tailored to your business needs to enhance communication and response times.

Social Media IntegrationIcons with links to your social profiles and sharing options to engage visitors.

Visitor Statistics & AnalyticsMatomo Analytics provides a self-hosted, privacy-first solution with complete data ownership. This powerful tool offers a wealth of insights for website owners, including real-time visitor statistics, page views, bounce rates, and detailed session tracking. You can see the geographic location of visitors, referral sources, device usage, and key performance indicators (KPIs) like conversion rates and goal completions. For both businesses and nonprofits, these insights are invaluable for understanding user behavior—how long visitors stay, which pages they visit most, and where they might drop off. By analyzing this data, you can make informed decisions to optimize user experience, improve content engagement, and enhance the effectiveness of campaigns. Matomo empowers you to refine your website strategy while ensuring visitor privacy and compliance.

Basic Search Engine Optimization (SEO)Our Basic SEO includes installation of an SEO plugin, basic configuration, submission of an XML sitemap to search engines like Google (so they know to start indexing your website), and designing the website to optimize page load speed, user experience, and engagement signals. For a more comprehensive SEO approach, we recommend investing in one of our dedicated SEO packages for maximum SEO returns right from when your website is built and launched.

Publish Your Own ContentIf you choose the “Blogging Functionality” add-on from our available options, you can publish your own content without any limitations. Enjoy the freedom to share your ideas, stories, and insights as often as you like, allowing you to engage with your audience and build your online presence.

Website Usage Guides & SupportWhile we do offer comprehensive website maintenance services, we also share comprehensive guides and support materials to help you manage your website with ease. We cover everything from accessing your website’s admin dashboard and setting up your WordPress environment to changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and updating user profiles. Our guides also include instructions for publishing and editing content, managing posts, and performing routine admin tasks like checking emails, updating content, and testing site features. Tasks like updating legal pages, reviewing KPIs, and accessing analytics are also covered. For eCommerce sites, we offer specific guidance on managing products and orders, ensuring you have all the tools you need for seamless website management.

Easy Backup SystemBackup system to protect your website from data loss. If you take our hosting and maintenance package then we will handle regular backups for you, otherwise you will need to do it manually.

Assistance with Legal PoliciesWe provide templates for various legal documents, including privacy policies (with references to GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection regulations), cookie policies, terms and conditions, delivery policies, returns policies, end user license agreements (EULAs), and disclaimers. Please note that these templates are offered as a general resource and do not constitute legal advice. We recommend consulting a legal professional to review or customize these templates to ensure compliance with applicable laws. We do not assume any responsibility for how these documents are used or interpreted by clients.

When a site has an SSL certificate, you’ll see a padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, indicating a secure connection. This not only protects your data but also helps build trust with your visitors, as it shows that your site is legitimate and secure. Additionally, having an SSL certificate can improve your website’s search engine ranking, as search engines prioritize secure websites in their results.

Automatic Daily BackupsBackups are vital for protecting your website and its data (stored in databases) and ensuring operational continuity. By automatically creating copies of your data every day, we safeguard your website against potential data loss due to hardware failures (for example due to extreme weather events), software issues, cyberattacks, and accidental deletions.

Collaboration & Customer ServiceFrom start to finish, you are the hero of the story. Through our pre-project consultations and user-friendly questionnaires we listen carefully to your imaginings and get to know your business or nonprofit organization in detail so that your website isn’t just another template but a unique representation of your values, goals, and offerings. Communication is key; so we ensure that you always have a direct line of contact with the person(s) building your website. We keep you updated on our progress, welcome your input, and provide a reasonable number of revisions at key milestones.

Domain Registration & Set-UpWe can manage your domain registration, including purchasing and configuring DNS records, with the domain cost added to your project fee. If you already own the domain, we can help point the DNS records to the correct hosting.

Installation and Technical Set-UpBefore building the website, we perform a comprehensive technical setup to ensure a strong foundation. This includes tasks like domain registration and hosting configuration, CDN and caching setup for optimal speed, SSL activation, and creating necessary email addresses. For WordPress installations, we handle dashboard configuration, theme activation, security setups, Matomo analytics setup, and plugin installation. Additional e-commerce setups, such as WooCommerce and product listings, are completed if applicable. Each step in this technical phase is crucial for creating a secure, optimized, and ready-to-build environment.

Brand-Showcasing Custom DesignA tailored look and feel to reflect your unique brand identity, with full control over aesthetics and functionality.

Free Design & Content RevisionsWe offer at least 2 rounds of revisions for each page and section of your website, allowing you to provide feedback and ensure your vision is fully realized. Each round is an opportunity to make adjustments and fine-tune the details to your satisfaction. After 2 rounds per page or section, further revisions are billed at an hourly rate to ensure efficiency and project momentum. However, we’re confident that this won’t be necessary, as we take the time to understand your preferences and goals from the beginning, making these final touches minor tweaks rather than major changes.

Limitless Additional PagesWe can add as many additional pages as you need during the initial build or later on when scaling up, with costs ranging from $25/R250 to $125+/R1250+, depending on complexity and media included. Rather than using pre-made packages that may lead to overspending, we start with the basics and build according to your specific needs for affordability and efficiency.

Design Elements & FunctionalitiesWe are well-equipped to implement a wide range of different widgets and elements to create a seamless, visually appealing, and engaging user experience, including: headings and text boxes with countless different types of fonts (with the ability to upload custom fonts); highly customizable image elements; dynamic menus; media carousels and sliders; icons and icon boxes (with the ability to upload custom icons); search functions; contact forms; Google Maps; image galleries; video players (locally hosted or embedded from YouTube); video and SVG backgrounds; eye-catching and dynamic call-to-action buttons; custom animations (Lotties); social media feeds; live chat; reviews and testimonials sections; accordions, tabs, and toggle sections (for FAQs, for example); table of contents elements; progress bars; animated headlines; price tables; countdowns; and much more.

Responsive & Mobile-FriendlyYour site will be fully optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop users, ensuring the best experience on any device.

Accessibility StandardsEnsure the website meets accessibility standards (like WCAG), so that websites can be accessed by those who have trouble with visual impairments, hearing disabilities, motor limitations, cognitive impairments, and other accessibility challenges.

Website Load Speed OptimizationWe ensure your website loads quickly through a variety of methods, including image compression, file minification (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), caching strategies, lazy loading of media, and optimizing server response times. A faster website enhances user experience, reduces bounce rates, and can improve search engine rankings.

Comprehensive Website SecurityIncludes Web Application Firewall (WAF) which protects against common web attacks like brute force attacks and exploits; anti-spam measures; automated malware scanning (scans core files, themes, and plugins for malware, vulnerabilities, and suspicious code), and login protection (includes tools like two-factor authentication (2FA) and CAPTCHA for extra login protection); Real-time Threat Defense Feed (provides updated protection against known attackers and malicious IP addresses); File Integrity Monitoring (software that automatically compares core files with the WordPress repository to detect modifications). Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) setup for an encrypted and secure website in all web-browsers. Our security software of choice has an extensive network which is underpinned by its deployment across over 5 million websites worldwide. With such a large install base it has a vast network that continuously detects, analyzes, and learns from a high volume of cyber threats. This scale of deployment allows the software’s threat intelligence team to gather insights from real-world attacks and consistently improve its defenses against both new and evolving threats. Furthermore, if anything happens that is even slightly concerning about your website’s security, we will know about it in seconds via detailed automated security alerts.

WordPress CMS & Admin AreaWe use WordPress.org and its Content Management System (CMS) as the foundation for all the websites that we design and develop. As an open-source platform, WordPress benefits from a large, active community continuously innovating and enhancing the platform. This community-driven approach fosters sustainability, accessibility, distribution of power, and a commitment to ethical web practices. It enables us to create highly customizable, user-friendly websites with robust community support for ongoing enhancements (plugins and themes), security, and innovative features, and it allows us to host our websites independently with our eco-friendly hosting partners. You can choose to let us manage the site entirely, or you can dive into the admin area to explore the various features and upload your own content and blog posts, giving you insight into the tools, plugins, and code behind your website’s smooth operation. WordPress.org is the more advanced version of WordPress.com which is a hosting platform with limited customization but is more beginner friendly. WordPress powers over 40% of all websites, including more than 60 million sites globally. Our choice of WordPress.org brings flexibility, functionality, and ethical web practices to each project.

Email Addresses with Domain URLCreate professional branded email addresses, such as info@[yourdomain].com, using your own domain name. This feature enhances your brand’s credibility and allows for efficient communication. Please note, only clients that use our hosting & maintenance package can create and use email addresses.

Contact Form & Live ChatWe implement easy-to-use, customized contact forms that allow potential customers to get in touch quickly and efficiently. We also offer live chat functionality for real-time interaction, improving customer service and engagement.

Visitor Statistics & AnalyticsMatomo Analytics provides a self-hosted, privacy-first solution with complete data ownership. This powerful tool offers a wealth of insights for website owners, including real-time visitor statistics, page views, bounce rates, and detailed session tracking. You can see the geographic location of visitors, referral sources, device usage, and key performance indicators (KPIs) like conversion rates and goal completions. For both businesses and nonprofits, these insights are invaluable for understanding user behavior—how long visitors stay, which pages they visit most, and where they might drop off. By analyzing this data, you can make informed decisions to optimize user experience, improve content engagement, and enhance the effectiveness of campaigns. Matomo empowers you to refine your website strategy while ensuring visitor privacy and compliance.

Basic Search Engine Optimization (SEO)Our Basic SEO includes installation of an SEO plugin, basic configuration, submission of an XML sitemap to search engines like Google (so they know to start indexing your website), and designing the website to optimize page load speed, user experience, and engagement signals. For a more comprehensive SEO approach, we recommend investing in one of our dedicated SEO packages for maximum SEO returns right from when your website is built and launched.

This not only protects your data but also helps build trust with your visitors, as it shows that your site is legitimate and secure. Additionally, having an SSL certificate can improve your website’s search engine ranking, as search engines prioritize secure websites in their results.

Automatic Daily BackupsBackups are vital for protecting your website and its data (stored in databases) and ensuring operational continuity. By automatically creating copies of your data every day, we safeguard your website against potential data loss due to hardware failures (for example due to extreme weather events), software issues, cyberattacks, and accidental deletions. Backups can easily be restored if need be, to return your website back to a desirable recovery point that existed before any problems occurred.

Client Control Panel AccessWhile we take care of maintaining your website, you have access to your personalized Client Control Panel. Here, you can manage your email accounts, monitor your resource usage, and explore the various features available to you. Feel free to take a look around and familiarize yourself with the tools at your disposal. Just remember to avoid making changes to anything you’re unsure about. Checking emails and monitoring resources is straightforward, giving you insight into your website’s backend without the complexity.

Here Are Some Reasons to Choose EcoLogic

At EcoLogic Marketing, sustainability and ethics lie at the heart of everything we do. We’ve chosen to focus our efforts on businesses and organizations that share a special interest in sustainability and social progress. These are causes that are becoming increasingly important for humanity.

We’ve seen the consequences of unchecked economic growth—deforestation, pollution, species extinction, and climate change. For too long, society has prioritized material gain at the expense of the planet and true social cohesion; leading to urban environments that aren’t as inspiring or livable as we once believed. This disconnection from nature and a truly compassionate humanity has brought with it social challenges like inequality, poverty, violence, corruption, an increase in mental health issues, new diseases, and a generally high stress environment that people often struggle to escape from.

Now, we’re in a pivotal period of humanity’s evolution where people and organizations are seeking to envision and create a better future. One that can fuse the benefits of the modern world, while still staying in harmony with the ancient truths that are imbued in nature and in a peaceful connected human heart.

We understand the mission and purpose of businesses and nonprofits working in this sphere, and we aim to help them thrive. By aligning with these values, we work towards creating a future that is regenerative and equitable.

We live in a world where people are constantly exposed to vast amounts of information and visual media through social media and digital devices. Modern humans have almost seen it all—countless websites, ads, videos, and pictures. If something feels familiar or repetitive, people often forget about it or move on. In urban environments, where life moves at an incredibly fast pace, novelty is not just appreciated—it’s expected.

This constant barrage of information has created a culture where people skip, scroll, and skim. They glance over ads, speed past billboards, and move on to the next thing without giving most of it a second thought. To catch someone’s attention and make a real, lasting impression on their mind—and their soul—you need something truly unique.

We believe every business and organization possesses that uniqueness—a distinct combination of purpose, character, and story. Our job is to help you package that essence properly, sincerely, and effectively into a high-quality website. It’s not just about making it look good; it’s about creating something clear, eye-catching, and memorable that communicates your unique story to visitors and inspires them to take action. Without this, in a world with infinite choices, they’ll simply move on.

When it comes to content, the heart of any website lies in its copywriting—the words—as well as the images, videos, and graphics that bring it to life. A picture may say a thousand words, but only if it’s the right picture. Many digital agencies fill websites with generic stock images pulled from the internet without much thought. The result is a mishmash of visuals that don’t truly represent the identity of the business or organization.

The same applies to words. To resonate, they must feel truly human, as if they’re spoken by a real person. Content that’s impersonal or robotic will fail to connect with visitors. In today’s world, many agencies rely heavily on AI to generate copy, but we approach this differently. As specialists in website and content creation, we can feel when writing lacks that authentic, human touch.

While we do sometimes use AI tools for assistance—summarizing or polishing punctuation—the core of our work is done by us, the human beings behind the screen. We pour ourselves into the process, crafting words and selecting visuals that reflect the genuine voice and mission of each business or organization.

In this age of unlimited digital distractions, content must reach deeper. It needs to speak not only to the mind but also to the heart and soul of your audience. If it doesn’t, people will move on—whether to another website or to endless videos on social media. To truly connect, you must empathize with your audience, understand their needs, and create content that makes them feel seen and understood. That’s what we do: create authentic, engaging content that connects with visitors on a genuinely human level and inspires meaningful action.

Building a website is much like building a house. If you choose the wrong builders, the process can quickly become a nightmare—poor communication, grumpy attitudes, rushed or sloppy work, and, worst of all, a final product that doesn’t reflect your vision because they didn’t listen. At EcoLogic Marketing, we pride ourselves on avoiding these pitfalls by following a robust and thoughtful process.

We’ve meticulously mapped out every step of the website creation journey, ensuring that every detail is covered and no part of your vision is overlooked. From the very beginning, we guide and drive the process in a way that captures your wishes and needs accurately, blending them with our expertise to create something truly collaborative. Your input and feedback are essential, and we combine them with our knowledge to craft a website that fully represents you and your business or organization.

We aim to make the entire experience smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. Building a website with us is more than a transaction; it’s a partnership. That’s why we prioritize being respectful, polite, attentive, and emotionally mature. Our professionalism and friendly approach ensure that you not only end up with a high-quality website but also a positive and rewarding experience.

Choosing a web agency isn’t just about finding the cheapest package or the quickest turnaround—it’s about finding people you can relate to and trust. That’s why we emphasize consultations and pre-project discussions. This allows us to connect with you, understand your goals, and make sure we’re the right fit for your project. A website is an investment in your future, and we want you to feel confident and proud of the result.

When we create a website for our clients, we aim for it to reach as many people as possible—people who can truly benefit from it. Our goal isn’t just to complete a project, get paid, and move on to the next one. We approach our work with purpose and a genuine desire to contribute to a better world. Our work is an extension of who we are—humans with a soul, striving to make a meaningful impact.

To achieve this, we leverage our expertise in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to ensure your website is not just a static presence but a dynamic tool that connects with your audience. A website should not exist in a vacuum; it should be discoverable, engaging, and effective in driving change. We take the time to help you grow your website into a comprehensive platform that represents all facets of your business or organization, making it easier for people to find the information and resources they need.

Additionally, we understand that SEO works best when paired with other marketing strategies, such as social media and paid advertising. While we don’t directly manage these services, we specialize in providing valuable advisory support. Through insightful articles, tailored advice, and strategic recommendations, we empower our clients with the knowledge they need to enhance their marketing efforts.

This collaborative approach reflects our belief in the power of shared knowledge. Humans thrive when we learn from and work with one another, and we take pride in imparting actionable insights to our clients. By doing so, we not only help them succeed but also strengthen a network of businesses and organizations committed to environmental and social progress.

When your website thrives, it helps you reach the right people, expand your impact, and create meaningful connections—all while building a future where businesses, organizations, and individuals work together for a greater good.

There’s an old saying: The proof is in the pudding. It’s easy to claim expertise in building and marketing websites, but at the end of the day, results speak louder than words. That’s why every website we create comes equipped with on-server analytics—tools that track essential statistics like how long visitors stay on each page, the actions they take, and overall website performance. Unlike third-party tools, this data remains secure on your website server, providing you with accurate and private insights.

We don’t hide behind vague promises or flashy claims. Instead, we rely on empirical data to refine strategies and continuously improve your website’s performance. By analyzing what works and identifying areas that need extra attention, we ensure your site not only meets but exceeds its goals.

While we set your website up for success from the start, we also understand the importance of long-term growth. That’s why we encourage clients to consider our SEO and marketing retainer services. With ongoing support, we can adapt your website to evolving trends and user behavior, keeping it relevant, resilient, and results-driven.

Change is constant in the digital world, and businesses need a reliable partner to navigate it. We don’t believe in creating a website and walking away; we’re here to guide you, support you, and help your business or organization thrive over time.

Our commitment is rooted in transparency and truth. The numbers don’t lie, and neither do we. By working together, analyzing the data, and putting in focused effort where it’s needed most, we ensure your website continues to grow, delivering results that make a meaningful impact.

Reflections on the Project and Our Ongoing Website Collaboration

Words from Serena Gess
(Founder of Greenaway's Herbal Ointments)

“It was really important to me to find a website designer who understood the ethos and aesthetics of my product. Jethro from EcoLogic fitted the bill perfectly.”

“The website has been very well received and has attracted a lot of positive attention. An elderly customer commented that she found the site ‘attractive, informative, and user-friendly’—everything one would want in a website.”

As the founder of an all-natural herbal skin care range, it was really important to me to find a website designer who understood the ethos and aesthetics of my product. Jethro Burnett-Thorburne from Ecologic fitted the bill perfectly and it has been a pleasure to work with him from the planning stages to the launch of the website. I feel that the finished product reflects his understanding of the brand.

He took the time to visit my garden where the herbs are grown, and took beautiful photos of the herbs, garden and my workspace which were all used on the website. He also took all the product photos which are clear and consistent. His creativity really enhanced the final product.

Technology is not my strong point but Jethro is very patient and explained everything that needed to be done from my side very clearly in his Website Onboarding Guide, also making it clear he was available to explain anything in person. He is easy to communicate with and responds timeously and thoughtfully to emails and suggestions. He continues to be helpful and accessible now that the site is launched.

The website has been very well received and has attracted a lot of positive attention. An elderly customer commented that she found the site ‘attractive, informative and user-friendly’ – everything one would want in a website.

Words from Jethro Burnett Thorburn
(Founder of EcoLogic Marketing)

“Serena’s authenticity and dedication to her brand, thriving since 1999, is truly inspiring. Her focus on quality and sustainability shines through in everything she does.”

“The main challenge of this project was showcasing how natural skincare with high-quality ingredients is far superior to synthetic, mass-produced alternatives. This was an exciting challenge, aligning perfectly with my specialization in highlighting the true beauty, authenticity, and effectiveness of natural products.”

Working with Serena on her website was an honour. I’ve known her products since I was young, seeing her at country fairs and using her creams, especially through my mother. Now, being able to help promote her work felt deeply personal. Having used her products myself, I fully stand behind them and believe in everything Serena’s brand represents.

What stands out to me most about Serena is her authenticity and dedication. Her brand, thriving since 1999, is a true testament to her commitment. Serena grows the majority of her ingredients herself, sourcing the rest from ethical, sustainable suppliers. Her vibrant cottage garden, alive with bees and birdsong, reminded me I was in a place where Mother Nature thrives. I’ve always loved gardens with fruit, herbs, and indigenous plants, and exploring hers was a joy.

Her beautiful double-story rondavel workshop, built by Serena and her husband, is a true reflection of her passion for helping people nurture their bodies and skin (and those of their loved ones and children). The space is not only clean, spacious, and beautiful, but it also strikes the perfect balance between being homely and professional — capturing the essence of the care she puts into every part of her business. Collaborating with someone who shares such a deep passion for truly natural products and the magic of nature has been an incredibly fulfilling experience.

The main challenge of this project was to showcase how natural skincare, made with high-quality ingredients, is far superior to the synthetic, mass-produced alternatives that often harm the skin. I needed to portray this in a visually appealing way, addressing the concerns of a world where many people are accustomed to skincare products that resemble paint or plastic, thanks to unrealistic trends promoting cheap, mass-produced items. However, this was an exciting challenge for me, as it perfectly aligns with my specialization—highlighting the true beauty, authenticity, and effectiveness of natural products. To emphasize their purity, I combined clean, soft aesthetics with green tones, white section backgrounds, and crisp custom borders. I also incorporated photographs of Serena’s beautiful, authentic garden and workspace to highlight the artisanal, professional, and high-quality nature of everything she creates, from start to finish.

Overall, I really enjoyed working with Serena. Our personalities gelled well, allowing us to create something of high standard at a comfortable pace. It was a great experience, and it reaffirmed an important lesson: when you have something truly good, stand by it. Specialize in what you do best, and the authenticity of your product or service will stand the test of time.

What Process Do We Follow for Our Website Creation Projects?

We Employ a 3 Phase Workflow

Phase 1: Communication, Consultation, and Collaboration – Project Initiation and Designing of Brand Assets

In this phase, we prioritize understanding your unique vision and goals through attentive communication and consultation. We listen closely to your preferences for colors, fonts, branding, copywriting, and desired functionalities, providing expert recommendations and a detailed project quotation.

We initiate the project by setting clear expectations, aligning on objectives, and gathering all necessary information to bring your brand to life. This phase also includes designing key brand assets, such as logos, which will serve as the foundation of your e-commerce or digital project, ensuring that every element is true to your brand identity and resonates with your audience.

Phase 2: Technical Set-Up and Design Work – Installation of Software and Receiving Client Input

This phase begins with foundational setup, including installing essential software and configuring technical systems.

We then move into initial design, integrating your input to align with the vision and requirements defined in Phase 1. To personalize the site, we’ll invite you to upload any media or information, such as images, videos, text, graphics, logos, fonts, color guides, or banners, onto our secure cloud storage.

At this collaborative stage, we establish a robust technical and aesthetic foundation for the project, prepared for future scaling, customization, and refinement. 

With these assets, we complete a first draft of the website design and seek your feedback to ensure satisfaction with the aesthetic and user experience. 

We’ll continue requesting feedback at key milestones until the website’s design and development is complete.

Phase 3: Pre-Launch Testing, Client Onboarding & Training, Website Launch & Post-Launch Support

In this final phase, we conduct thorough pre-launch testing to ensure your website functions smoothly across all devices and meets quality standards.

After testing, we provide comprehensive onboarding and training to help you manage your new website confidently, covering essential tools, features, and best practices.

When you are settled in and ready, we’ll launch your website. We offer post-launch support, addressing any initial adjustments and ensuring your website performs optimally.

Our goal is to ensure a successful transition, so your team is fully equipped to operate your website and stay informed.

For those opting for our hosting & website maintenance services, we keep in contact as we take care of your website.
