The problem

A website should carry commercial weight

Most business websites look fine but do not work. They attract the wrong visitors, fail to communicate the offer clearly, and give potential clients no reason to make contact.

A website that cannot be found in search, or that confuses the people who do visit, is not an asset. It is a liability. 18dev designs business websites structured around what the business actually does, optimised for the terms potential clients use, and written and designed so the right visitor understands your offer and knows what to do next.

How we build

Three principles behind every build

01

Strategy and SEO from the start

A business website that does not appear in search results is not working. We build keyword and content strategy into the structure before a single page is designed. Every heading, URL and metadata decision is made with search in mind.

02

Design that communicates, not decorates

The purpose of your website is to convert a visitor into a customer. We design around your service, your customer and your commercial goal. Layout, copy hierarchy and calls to action all work together.

03

Built properly, maintained over time

We build on reliable technology with clean code, fast load speeds, SSL and structured data. After launch, we offer maintenance plans to keep the site updated, backed up and performing.

Common questions

How much does a business website cost?
Business websites start from R12,000 for a clean, custom-designed site with SEO foundations, responsive design and contact forms. The final price depends on scope, number of pages and content requirements. We always give a written quote before any work begins.
How long does a business website take to build?
A typical business website takes 4 to 6 weeks from the signed brief to launch. More complex sites take longer. We give a realistic timeline during the Discovery phase before starting.
Is SEO included in a business website build?
Yes. Every website we build includes on-page SEO foundations: keyword-informed page structure, title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image optimisation, sitemap, and Google Search Console setup.
Do you work with businesses outside Johannesburg?
Yes. We work with businesses across South Africa. Most of the project happens remotely and this works well for both parties.
