A studio in Riversdale, Western Cape

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.

How we work

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.

01

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.

02

Words & pictures

We help you write copy that sounds like you, and either use your photos or organise a local photographer for a day.

03

Build

We fork the right template, swap in the brand, build the pages, and hand you a staging link to react to.

04

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.

The studio

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
