The Website Gazette
Recent work,hot off the press.Real websites for real businesses.
Every site here was designed, built and launched by me, with the words and search setup done alongside it. Each one started as a conversation about what the business needed to be found for.
Borith: washed clean, made pure.
Borith makes handcrafted tallow balms, body care and soaps in small batches in South Africa. They needed a shop that felt as calm and well-made as the products.
I built a full online store with a home page and a shop page, a basket, product search, a category for every product type, and an FAQ that answers the questions buyers ask most. Every page is written to be found in search, with proper titles, descriptions and a sitemap.

It's Beauty by Shana: bridal beauty, online.
Shana is a bridal hair and makeup artist in Cape Town who travels to her brides. She needed a website that shows her work, explains her services and makes booking as easy as sending a WhatsApp message.
I built her site around a portfolio, services, reviews and a trial section, and added a blog of wedding-makeup articles that answer the questions brides search for. Her pages are set up for local search, so brides in Cape Town can find her.
