"A designer’s first job is to articulate the tangible value we bring to every situation. It’s not the clients’ job to try to guess it."

Services
Website Design
We provide a full range of services from domain registration to final website launch.
The most important aspect of a good website is the ability to communicate your offering or value proposition clearly and effectively to your target customer. Correctly defining your ideal customer is critical to online success.
Web Content
Grabbing a potential client’s attention and retaining it is the focus of all our design. You have about 5-8 seconds to achieve this when a new visitor lands on your page. Retaining that very short attention span is achieved by providing relevant content that will interest your visitor and convert them into a client.
Web Hosting & Email
Fast, secure and reliable hosting.
For WordPress sites it is also preferable to have Linux web servers.
We monitor up-time on your behalf to ensure your website is working day and night.
Web Marketing
Simply having a website displayed online will not draw any clients. Any site has to be marketed so that clients searching online will see your site in search engines and click on your link to view your offers.
We provide Adwords and social media campaigns as well as data mining for email campaigns and sales lead generation
On Page & Ongoing SEO
Search engine optimisation drives organic (non-paid) growth and is critical. A website that is not search engine compliant is equivalent to “winking in the dark”. The site exists but nobody knows about it. We concentrate on improving the quality score in Google to get your website on the first page of a Google search.
Web development
Creating an online shop is much more than merely setting up the software that drives the purchases. The initial stock has to be captured and categorised. Also one has to set up a payment portal so you get paid and a courier portal so that the customers receive their goods. We hand over a fully functional shop ready to trade.
Design Principles
Professional
The purpose of a website is to communicate information in such a way that it is clearly and easily read and digested. We take your ideas and create a website that is clean and concise. We also provide basic SEO as a standard service.
Latest Technology
It is important to keep abreast of the latest developments in technology so as to keep your website current and to extract the maximum benefit from it. We use the WordPress development platform WordPress currently powers 74,6 million sites worldwide.
Fast and secure
We have a collection of web objects that are easily customisable and assist in the rapid development of websites. This typically leads to fast and reliable project completion. Sites are rapidly deployed to any web-hosting provider.
Our Design Tools
To create your online presence we use certain design tools. These tools are important as reliance is placed on them to keep your online presence current and operating efficiently. All the tools we use are top rated everywhere in the world. The design tools are also widely supported so whether you want to maintain your own website or hire a support entity there are lots of companies and individuals to choose from.
WordPress CMS
WordPress is used by 43.2% of all websites on the internet in 2022. This is an increase from 39.5% in 2021. That means that two out of every five websites use WordPress.
Woocommerce
WooCommerce leads as the most popular choice among the top million e-commerce sites with a market share of 26%
Elementor
Elementor is now actively used by over four million WordPress websites, which makes it the most popular WordPress page builder. It’s also maintained an impressive 4.7-star rating (out of 5) on over 5,900 reviews
Shopify
Shopify is a very popular ecommerce platform geared towards smaller business. It is a hosted solution and generally more expensive than Woocommerce.
Some of our completed projects
What our clients say...
“I was very impressed with the manner in which Gavin and the Online Persona team assisted me with my website! I received a lot of proposals and quotes with regards to my website, but the fact that Gavin picked up his phone and phoned me to discuss my requirements gave me immediate comfort. Anyone can build an outstanding website but I wanted hits via the search engines, something that Gavin and the team specialises in. I would therefore refer anyone to Online Persona for their website needs!”
