01 The work

Four working sites. Open them on your phone.

Not pictures of websites. Every one of these does the thing it promises — builds an order, takes a booking, prices a job, works out a total. They are set in Hout Bay because that is where I am. The same build works for a salon in Durbanville or a guesthouse in Knysna; only the content changes.

01Café & restaurant

Driftwood Kitchen

The problem
A menu that lives as a photograph on Facebook, and a phone that rings all morning asking about prices and opening hours.
What it does
Tap through the menu, watch the total add up, then send the whole order to WhatsApp already written out. Collection or delivery, priced before it sends.

02Salon & beauty

Sable Hair Studio

The problem
Bookings arriving as direct messages at ten at night, and every second one asking what a half head of foils costs.
What it does
Service, stylist, day, time — four taps, about fifteen seconds, and the request lands in WhatsApp. No platform taking a cut of the chair.

Ridgeway Plumbing

The problem
Work that only ever comes by word of mouth, and calls missed because both hands are under a sink.
What it does
Job type and urgency give a real price range before anyone picks up a phone. Then one tap to call, or send a photo of the problem straight to WhatsApp.

Camber House

The problem
Every booking arriving through a platform that keeps fifteen to eighteen percent, and no way for a guest to book direct.
What it does
Guests pick their dates, the site works out nights, longer-stay discounts and the total on the spot, then sends the enquiry to WhatsApp. The commission stays with you.

02 Before and after

Your customers are looking. Right now they can’t find you.

Pick the one that sounds like you.

I run a

If you run a cafe or restaurant

Today

  • Your menu is a photo on Facebook, and it goes blurry the moment anyone zooms in.
  • Prices aren’t on it, so the caption says “DM for prices”.
  • Search your own food and your suburb on Google and you aren’t there.
  • People phone during service to ask whether you’re open.

After

  • You come up when someone searches coffee and your suburb.
  • Menu and prices readable on any phone, changed the day you change them.
  • Orders arrive in WhatsApp, already written out, while you’re busy.
  • Hours are on the page, so the phone stops ringing for them.

If you run a salon

Today

  • Bookings come in as messages at ten at night, and you answer them at ten at night.
  • Every second one asks what something costs before it asks for a time.
  • No-shows, because nothing was confirmed anywhere either of you can see.

After

  • Clients pick the stylist, the service and the time themselves.
  • Booking requests land in WhatsApp with all of it already filled in.
  • The price list on the site is always the current one.

If you’re a plumber, electrician or builder

Today

  • Work only comes by word of mouth, so a quiet month is a quiet month.
  • There’s a Facebook page, last updated three years ago.
  • Calls get missed because you’re under a sink with both hands full.

After

  • You come up when someone searches your trade and their area.
  • One tap to call you, one tap to WhatsApp you.
  • Quote requests arrive with photos of the job while you’re still on site.

If you run a guesthouse or self-catering

Today

  • Every guest arrives through a booking site that keeps fifteen to eighteen percent.
  • Guests who want to book with you directly have no way to do it.
  • Your photos and your rates live on somebody else’s page, next to your competitors.

After

  • Direct enquiries arrive on WhatsApp, and the commission stays with you.
  • Photos, rates and availability on a site that is yours.
  • Returning guests book with you instead of searching for you again.

03 How it works

Five steps, and none of them is a meeting.

  1. Send your business name and where you are, on WhatsApp.
  2. I reply within one working day. If it’s a fit, I build you a free working demo of your business — you open it on your phone, no obligation.
  3. Like it? You get a one-page written quote: what’s in, what’s out, the price and the timeline.See what it costs →
  4. Build and launch on your own .co.za domain — usually one to three weeks.
  5. After that: I reply within one working day, and changes are done within three — prices, specials, hours, new dishes.

You see it working before you pay a cent.

Everything happens over WhatsApp — the demo, the quote, the changes. There’s no meeting to sit through and no waiting for someone to drive out to you, so it works exactly the same whether you’re in Hout Bay, Bellville, Stellenbosch or Plett.

04 What it costs

Published, because you shouldn’t have to ask.

From R 2 500To build

A one-page site is R 2 500. More pages, or more for the site to do, takes it up to about R 6 000. Fifty percent deposit, balance on launch. Scope changes the price — never a discount.

R 350A month, after that

Hosting, your .co.za domain renewed each year, and the changes you need. Cancel any time — 30 days’ notice, either of us. No lock-in, no contract.

Same price wherever you are. Nothing is charged for travel, because there isn’t any.

05 Who you’re dealing with

Just me.

I’m Felix. North Shore Digital is my studio, run out of Hout Bay — though most of what I build is for businesses I’ve never driven to.

Everything I build, I build myself. No subcontractors, no account manager in between. You deal with one person from the first message to the day it goes live, and after it.

I’d rather do a small number of sites properly than take on everything that comes through the door. If I don’t think a website will actually make you money, I’ll tell you that instead of quoting you.

06 Questions

Things people ask before they start.

I already have a website, it’s just old.

Then we start by looking at it together on your phone. If it works and it only needs the prices and hours brought up to date, say so and I’ll tell you that — you don’t need me to rebuild it. If it’s slow, hard to read on a phone, or nobody can find it on Google, a rebuild is usually cheaper than fighting with the old one.

Do I have to write all the words myself?

No. Send me your menu, your price list, or just voice notes about what you do. I write the first version and you correct it — that’s much easier than staring at an empty page. Nothing goes live until you’ve read it and you’re happy with it.

Can I change things myself afterwards?

You can, but most people would rather not. Send me the change on WhatsApp — a new price, a special, different hours — and it’s done within three working days. That’s what the monthly covers. If you’d rather edit it yourself, say so up front and I’ll build it that way instead.

What if you’re busy or away?

Your site keeps running. It’s a single file on hosting that costs nothing to serve — there’s no database to fall over and no software that needs me to keep patching it. It stays up whether I’m at my desk or not.

What waits is changes. I reply within one working day and changes are done within three. If I’m going to be away longer than that, I’ll tell you before you pay me anything.
