Axious Creative Studio was started in 2023 with a simple idea: small businesses deserve websites as fast and well built as the big brands', at a price that makes sense in Rand.
We don't use WordPress, Wix or page builders. Every site is designed and coded from scratch, so it loads fast, is hard to hack and is built for search from the first line. Your pages use clean, semantic HTML and structured data, which helps Google, and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity, understand your business and recommend it.
We're based in Cape Town, where our clients' sites rank at the top of Google across the Western Cape. We now build for businesses in every province, all over WhatsApp, email and video calls. You deal directly with the people building your site, not an account manager.

What we do
Website design services in South Africa
Most clients start with a website and add things as they grow. Every price is in Rand and paid once unless it says otherwise.
Custom websites
Hand-coded, mobile-first sites with an admin dashboard, so you can edit your own content.
You don’t own the site or code while subscribed. After 6 months you can buy it outright for R2,000. See the subscription terms. Prefer to own it from day one? See our once-off packages.

“I am happy with the look, feel and the easy navigation of the completed website created by Axious Creative Studio (ACS). It was good that ACS asked questions during the building process of the website, which lead to me being a satisfied customer.”
RRyan Davy2 reviews · Google review★★★★★
“[Axious] Creative Studio helped us get real results from our Google Ads. They cleaned up our campaigns, improved our targeting, and brought in far more qualified leads than we were getting before. We're now seeing consistent enquiries at much better cost. Thank you so much!”

“I have the best website in Cape Town, rated number 1 design by Axious Creative Studios.”
Our packages are flat, once-off prices: Basic at R3,499, Business at R5,999 and Premium at R9,999, each plus R100 a month for hosting. Every package includes mobile-first design, on-page SEO and SSL. No hourly billing.
Do you work with clients outside Cape Town?
Yes. We're based in Cape Town, but most of our work is remote and nationwide: Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, the Garden Route and beyond. Everything runs over WhatsApp, email and video calls. No travel needed.
How long does a website take?
A Basic site ships in 1–2 weeks. Business sites with bookings take 2–3 weeks. Premium builds with e-commerce take 3–4 weeks. That includes design, build, testing and SEO setup.
Do you use WordPress or templates?
No. Every site is written from scratch, with no WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or page builders. That means faster pages, fewer security holes, better SEO, and a site that looks like your business rather than a theme.
Can you build an online store with Yoco or PayFast?
Yes. The Premium package (R9,999) includes a full store with cart, order processing and inventory, paid through Yoco, PayFast or Ozow.
Are your websites ready for AI search like ChatGPT?
Yes. Sites are built with clean semantic HTML and structured data, so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity can read and reference your business as well as classic Google search.
Do you offer hosting and maintenance?
Yes. Hosting is R100 a month and includes SSL and analytics. Security patches are included. Content edits after handover are charged at R350 an hour, or included (up to 1 hour a month) on the R499 Website Subscription.
How much do edits cost after my site is live?
Edits are R350 an hour, with a 1-hour minimum, quoted and invoiced before we start. That covers things like new text, photos, prices or a new section. Every build also includes 2 free rounds of revisions before launch. On the R499 a month Website Subscription, up to 1 hour of edits a month is included.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. A 50% deposit books your start date and the balance is due at launch. We accept card (Yoco), EFT and bank transfer. No interest.
Who owns the website when it's done?
You do. The source code is handed over to you at launch.
