What we do
Everything your business needs to win online — done properly.
No templates, no bloat, no agencies-of-agencies. One independent web design studio, obsessed with the details that make a website actually work for you.
Development
Hand-coded, lightning fast and mobile-first. Clean code you own outright — no page-builder subscription holding your site hostage.
E-commerce
Online stores that make buying effortless — Shopify, WooCommerce or fully custom, with Stripe, PayPal or your local payment gateway.
SEO & performance
Technical SEO, structured data, Core Web Vitals and Search Console set up from day one — so Google, and your customers, find you in any market.
Brand & identity
Logos, colour systems and a visual language that carry across your site, socials and print — consistently.
Care & growth plans
Global hosting, updates, security and small edits every month. You run your business — we keep it moving forward.
Concept work
Websites built to perform.
Three concept sites we designed for the kinds of businesses we love working with: a coffee roastery, a law practice and a fitness studio. Open any of them to explore the live page — yours could be next.
How it works
A simple process. Serious results.
You always know what's happening, what's next, and when you'll see it — in writing, on your schedule. No surprises, no jargon.

Why Escarpment
Built like it's our own business.
Because it is. We only grow when your website works — so we build every one like our reputation depends on it.
Speed is a feature
Every site targets 90+ on Google PageSpeed. Faster sites rank higher, convert better and feel more premium — on any connection, anywhere.
Built to convert
Every page has a job — an enquiry, a booking, a sale. Layout, copy and calls-to-action are designed around it.
A partner, not a vendor
You work directly with the person designing and building your site. No account managers, no hand-offs, no lost details.
You own everything
Your domain, your code, your content. Leave any time — no lock-in, no strings attached.

FAQ
Questions? Answered.
Anything else — just ask. We reply within one business day.
Do you work with clients outside South Africa?
Yes. We work with businesses anywhere in the world, fully remotely. Everything runs by email with clear written updates, so distance and time zones never slow a project down.
How does the free design concept work?
Tell us about your business and we design a concept of your homepage within 48 hours — free, with no obligation. Love it? We quote a fixed price and build the full site. Don't? You've lost nothing.
How long does a website take?
Most sites go live in two to three weeks. Your free design concept arrives within 48 hours. Bigger builds like e-commerce are scoped individually, usually four to eight weeks.
How do we communicate during the project?
By email — escarpment.sites@gmail.com — or through the enquiry form on this page. Written communication keeps every decision on record and works across any time zone. We reply within one business day.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo if you have one, a rough idea of the pages you need, and any photos you'd like to use. We guide you through the rest — and can help with copywriting and stock imagery if you're stuck.
How do payments work?
A 50% deposit books your slot and starts the build; the remaining 50% is due on launch. Fixed price, fixed scope — if anything changes, we agree it in writing before any extra cost.
Will my site rank on Google?
Every site ships with solid technical SEO: semantic structure, fast load times, structured data, meta tags, an XML sitemap and Google Search Console setup. Ranking for competitive terms takes ongoing content and links — we can help with that through a growth plan.
Can you build a multi-language website?
Yes. We build multi-language sites with proper hreflang tags, so each language version is indexed and ranks in its own market.
Do you offer hosting and maintenance?
Yes. Our care plan covers fast global hosting, a free SSL certificate, security, instant rollbacks, small content changes and a monthly visitor report — for one simple monthly fee. Cancel anytime; you're never locked in.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely. We audit what's working, protect your search rankings with proper redirects, and rebuild the site to be faster and more persuasive.
