Builds that changed how the phone rings

New builds, redesigns and clients who stay. The before and after is the argument.

Project /01 · guesthousekleinmond.co.za

A coastal guesthouse, from paper forms to online applications

Guesthouse & functions venue · Kleinmond, Western Cape · new brand + hand-built site

Millionaire's Mile Guesthouse, the live hand-built homepage: gather your people where the mountains meet the sea

The live homepage: gather your people where the mountains meet the sea.

The challenge

A remarkable property, invisible online

A guesthouse and functions venue on Kleinmond's coast with no website, and guest applications handled on a paper form.

The work

Named, branded and hand-built

A new name and logo, then a cinematic hand-coded site: photo gallery, video tour, and the owner's application form rebuilt for the web.

The result

Open to the world at its own address

Live at guesthousekleinmond.co.za: fast, mobile-first, with applications landing straight in the owner's inbox.

The challenge

An old Wix site holding the business back

A generic Wix page: cluttered, slow, and a wixsite.com address that undersold a genuinely good service.

The work

A full rebrand and hand-built rebuild

A full rebrand: new name, new logo, and a fast hand-coded site with two clear service paths.

The result

Faster, modern and ready to be found

/playground

Toys from the workshop

Built for fun. Every trick here is hand-coded, like everything else on this site. The four core demos live on the homepage; these two live here.

Toy /01

The speed race

Two mini browsers load the same page. One is hand-coded. One is built with a drag-and-drop template.

Toy /02

The sketchpad

Got an idea for a page? Sketch it out. Download it if you want to keep it.

Every build on this page started with an owner who decided to stop losing quietly.
