Editorial websites
for places worth
visiting.
We build slow, considered sites for guesthouses, wine farms, farm stalls and venues. Mobile-first, fast, easy to update. No templates that look like templates.
Pick a starting point.
We tailor from there.
Each template is a full, mobile-first site you can preview live. We fork it, swap in your brand, your words, your photos, and you have a real website by the end of the week.
Four weeks, give or take.
No surprises.
We don’t do six-month rebuilds or quote-on-quote rounds. We start from a template, tailor it to your place, and ship a finished site within a month.
Walk & talk
An afternoon on site (or over a long video call). We see what makes the place itself, and figure out what the site needs to do.
Words & pictures
We help you write copy that sounds like you, and either use your photos or organise a local photographer for a day.
Build
We fork the right template, swap in the brand, build the pages, and hand you a staging link to react to.
Launch & care
We deploy to a free, fast host and stay on call for the first month. Edits are billed by the hour after that.
Small place,
small studio.
Vlei Studio is a small studio in Riversdale, in the heart of the Hessequa. We work with owner-run hospitality businesses, the kind run by the people whose name is on the gate.
Every site we ship loads in under a second, scores 95+ on Lighthouse, and is yours outright the day it goes live. No subscriptions, no platform lock-in, no monthly fees.
- Honest, project-based quotes. No subscriptions.
- Hosted free on Cloudflare or Netlify
- Mobile-first, fast, accessible by default
- You own everything: code, domain, content
