Web design · Pretoria
Beautiful, custom websites for Pretoria businesses, built from scratch to be found in the suburbs you serve. You can update them yourself. From R10,000. Plus AI that answers enquiries, so no lead goes cold.
Ranking in Pretoria is not the same as ranking nationally. These three things decide it.
Nobody in Pretoria searches "plumber" and scrolls. They search "plumber Garsfontein", or "electrician near me" from Lynnwood. Google shows businesses it can see serve that area. One general services page can't beat a page made for the suburb.
For most Pretoria service searches, the top three map results get most of the clicks. Google ranks them on distance, reviews and the website behind the listing. Most local businesses neglect that last part.
Pretoria's east (Menlyn, Brooklyn, Waterkloof, Faerie Glen) searches and spends differently to the older suburbs in the west and centre. A site aimed at all of Pretoria speaks to nobody in particular.
Every package gets the same quality of work. The smaller packages just have fewer pages.
Designed and built from scratch for your business. No WordPress theme, no page builder, nothing a competitor can buy a copy of.
Clean structure, proper page titles, business schema and suburb pages built in from the start. Not sold to you later as an upgrade.
Most visitors arrive on a phone, often on patchy data. The site is built to load fast anyway. Google measures it, and customers notice it.
Your own admin panel for services, prices, photos and posts. It works on your phone, so everyday changes don't need a developer.
The studio is in Pretoria, so meeting in person is easy in these suburbs. Everything can also be done remotely.

Including the first workflow
Noah da Costa photographs sport and wildlife in and around Pretoria. His site shows the photographs full screen, stays quick on a phone, and he adds new work himself after every shoot.

What they needed
To move off a portfolio template onto a site that shows his photographs at their best, and to add his own work after every shoot without calling anyone.
What we built
Growth

JLC Studio charges R10,000 for Launch (up to 5 pages), R16,500 for Growth (up to 8 pages, blog and Search Console setup) and R24,000 for Authority (up to 12 pages, priority support). Each has a monthly fee from R850 for hosting, security, backups and small changes. Bespoke projects start from R38,000. Elsewhere in Pretoria, template sites cost R2,500 to R5,000 and agencies start around R40,000. The difference is custom design, and whether the site is built to rank.
There is no single best. Big agencies suit corporates with big budgets. Freelancers suit tight budgets, but may not always be available. A small studio like JLC Studio suits an owner-run business that wants custom work, published prices and one person accountable. Whoever you choose, ask: do I own the site, can I edit it myself, and what happens if you disappear?
Yes, the studio is in Pretoria, so meeting is easy for local projects. Most work still runs over email and calls because it's quicker for everyone. Meeting is an option, not a requirement.
City-wide terms take 6 to 12 months on a new domain, and honest providers will say so. Suburb searches (your service plus an area name) move sooner, usually in 4 to 8 weeks. That's why suburb pages come first. They bring in traffic while the harder terms catch up.
Yes. Centurion, Midrand, Johannesburg and Sandton regularly, and the rest of South Africa remotely. There are separate pages for web design in Centurion and Johannesburg, with prices and local detail.
