Why it works
A Durban website that pulls its weight, not just looks good.
Built to convert
A good-looking site is not the goal. Every section, headline and call to action is built around the enquiry you want, so your Durban visitors take the next step instead of drifting off.
Fast and mobile-first
Most of your Durban visitors are on a phone. We build fast, mobile-first sites that load quickly on any connection and keep people engaged.
Found on Google
Clean structure and on-page SEO from day one, so you can rank for the Durban searches your buyers make, and get picked up in AI answers too.
Done for you, remotely
Copy, design, build and launch, all handled by us over email, calls and video. You work directly with the people building your site, wherever you are.

How it works
A clear path from brief to launch.
01
Goal and quote
We start with what the site needs to achieve and how we will measure it, then give you a clear quote up front. No surprises.
02
Content and copy
We gather what only you know about your Durban business, then write copy built to convert. You sign off the direction before anything gets designed.
03
Design and approval
We design your homepage first and send it for sign-off, so you see the look and feel before we build out the rest.
04
Build and launch
We build the full site, wire up lead capture and tracking, and launch. Most projects go live in around four weeks.

Real people
You deal with the team doing the work.
We're a small, senior team that has grown The Weblab since 2009 using the very strategies we run for our clients. No account managers reading off a script, you talk to the people building your site.
That's also why we turn down work we can't move the needle on. Your growth is the only thing we're measured on.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us directly. We reply within one business day.
Are you based in Durban?
No. We are a South African agency based on the West Coast of the Western Cape, and we work with Durban businesses remotely. Everything runs over email, calls and shared screens, so the distance has no effect on the work.
Do you work with Durban businesses remotely?
Yes, and it is how most of our clients like to work. If you are happy with online meetings and email, we are a great fit. If you would rather sit down together in person every week, we will tell you straight that we are probably not the best fit.
How much does a website cost in Durban?
It depends on what the site needs to do and how many pages it has. Websites are a once-off project, priced to the scope, with a clear quote up front. Entry-level sites start from around R20,000, and the best next step is a quick chat about your goals so we can put real numbers to it.
How long does it take?
Most sites are designed and live in around four weeks. Week one is content, week two is the homepage design and feel, and the following weeks are the rest of the build, with your feedback along the way.
Will my website rank on Google in Durban?
A new site does not rank on its own. We build the technical and on-page foundations for SEO, and ranking for competitive Durban terms takes ongoing SEO work, which we are happy to handle as part of a lead-generation retainer.
Do I need to provide the copy?
No. You give us the raw information only you know about your business, and we shape it into copy that converts. We can write light, readable copy or hard-hitting sales copy depending on your goals and budget.
