Who you work with
Two people, and both of us are on your account. You deal with us directly, and nothing gets briefed to anyone in between.
Jonathan Schalk
Founder
Five years in, and the problem has not changed. Most small business websites look fine and sell nothing.
I study architecture, and that is where the design side comes from. Architecture is not about making something pretty. It is about how a person moves through a space: what they see first, what they are looking for, what makes them turn around and walk out. A website is the same problem in a different material.
Running my own business taught me the rest of it. Why people buy. Why they stall. What a price on a page does to both.
So I am not decorating when I plan your site. I am working out what your customer came to do, and getting everything else out of their way.
The design, the build and the reporting are mine. Vukosi works the commercial side of the same job, and we are both across every account, which is why the number of projects stays small. If we cannot start when you need us to, you will hear that on the first call and not three weeks later.

Strategy & Business Lead
Most small businesses do not need another website that simply looks good. They need one that helps the business grow.
My background in accounting shapes the way we approach digital work. We think about structure, performance, cost, return and the decisions that move a business forward. Every website we build is designed with a commercial purpose behind it.
Running businesses has also taught me that growth is not only about numbers. It is about people. Why customers trust a brand. Why they hesitate. What makes them enquire, buy or come back.
That is why we take the time to understand your business before we start building. We look at what you offer, who you want to reach and what your customers need to see before they feel confident choosing you.
From strategy and copy to design and development, everything works towards the same goal: making it easier for the right customers to find you, understand your value and take action.

Small enough that you always know where your project is, and what happened to it this week.

You get both of us
Our names, our email addresses, one thread. No account layer, no ticket system, no portal to log into, nobody to be passed along to.

Design
Structure before decoration
Architecture teaches you to plan a space around the person walking into it. We plan a site the same way. What your customer needs to see, in what order, before they will pick up the phone.

Case
A commercial reason for every decision
Structure, performance, cost, return. If a page cannot be argued for on what it brings the business, it does not get built. That is the accounting side of the room talking, and it saves you money.

All in
Few projects, all of us
We would rather run three jobs properly than ten badly. We keep the number of projects we take on controlled: a weekly update while a build is running, a monthly call once it is live, and a reply within 30 minutes in business hours.
Want to talk to us first?
Fair enough. You are about to hand someone your website. Book the free 15-minute review and you are talking to the people who would do the work, because there is nobody else to put on the call. If we are not the right fit for what you need, we will say so then and not three weeks in.
