Our work

Websites we have built.

Baroka Funerals website redesign shown on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone mockups

Website redesign and SEO

Baroka Funerals

Baroka had a strong offline brand and a website that did not match it. We audited the site as a system, found over 200 indexed pages that should never have been visible to search, and rebuilt it so funeral plans are easy to understand and compare, across Johannesburg and Pretoria.

EHAD Fuel Equipment website shown on laptop, tablet and phone mockups

Headless WordPress build

EHAD Fuel Equipment

We rebuilt a 2018 WordPress site as a headless WordPress and Next.js site. That included custom WooCommerce engineering, a Courier Guy shipping plugin with depot freight fallback, a wholesaler login with tiered pricing, and technical SEO from day one. Four months from kickoff to launch.

Roos Garage Doors website rebuild shown on laptop, tablet and phone mockups

National website rebuild

Roos Garage Doors

We rebuilt the site across 35 pages for a manufacturer with five branches. 22 old URLs were moved with 301 redirects, every branch has a page that can rank on its own, and a spare parts list became 26 individual part records.

Musubi online store shown on laptop, tablet and phone mockups

Custom WooCommerce build

Musubi

From an idea to live in two months with over 500 products, a points programme we wrote ourselves, and a checkout that behaves like Shopify while running on WooCommerce.

Lathi Tha Eyecare website redesign shown on laptop, tablet and phone mockups

Redesign, SEO and hosting

Lathi Tha Eyecare

A website redesign, SEO integration, hosting migration and social media management for an optometry brand in Mthatha, Sterkspruit, Sutterheim and East London, with a shop split into prescription glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses.

Young Boys Beverages multi-brand website shown on laptop, tablet and phone mockups

Multi-brand WordPress website

Young Boys Beverages

A scalable WordPress architecture for a Johannesburg beverage company whose product lines each carry their own brand identity, built to grow as new brands are added.

450+ websites built and hosted on our own infrastructure

We build websites that keep performing well after launch day. Every site is hosted on our own managed infrastructure, which means faster load times, proactive security monitoring and a single point of contact for everything from updates to support.

Our team has been building websites for South African businesses since 2015, from simple service sites to complex WooCommerce stores with CRM integrations, booking systems and custom-built functionality. We work across WordPress, Shopify, Drupal and more, with an in-house team proficient in PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

AI visibility (answer engine optimisation)

AI visibility: how Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity describe your business

People now ask AI systems for a supplier and get an answer instead of a list of links. We track how Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity describe your brand, then align the signals across the web until they describe you the way you want to be found.

Answer engine optimisation shares roughly 70% of its work with SEO. The other 30% is new. SEO is the foundation it sits on, so we do not sell it on its own.

In our own tracking of 50 South African prompts, only about a quarter of AI citations came from the organic top 20. Ranking alone does not get you named in an AI answer.

How we work

You know what you are getting before we start.

Four steps, from the first phone call to a website you own and we look after.

Step 01

Scope

We start with your brief and go through it with you by phone, line by line, so the project we scope is the business you actually run.

  • Your brief reviewed with you, line by line
  • Larger projects begin with a paid scoping phase, deducted from the project total if you proceed
  • A 50% deposit starts the work

Step 02

Design and plan

Once you give the go-ahead you receive a content request folder that tells you exactly what each page needs, so you are never guessing.

  • Writing tips and per-page requirements for your content
  • Questions on fonts, colours and designs you like
  • Your copy restructured into clear sections and headings, and your images edited to suit the brand

Step 03

Build and test

Your site is developed on a test server, so nothing public changes until you have seen it and approved it.

  • Two revision rounds included
  • Basic on-page SEO: meta titles and descriptions, image alt text, heading structure, schema, compressed images and an XML sitemap submitted to Google
  • Google Search Console added as standard
  • A 5 page package takes 7 to 10 working days

Step 04

Launch and look after it

After final payment you receive your logins and full ownership of the website, and you are free to move host whenever you choose.

  • Hosting on our own managed infrastructure, with email accounts and SSL
  • Monthly support covers plugin updates, security checks, WordPress core and PHP compatibility checks and error resolution
  • Website files and database are yours on final payment

Business and Corporate

Built for companies with more than one moving part.

When the website has to work with branches, catalogues, a CRM or systems already in use, a template stops being enough. This is the work we are set up for.

Several branches or brands on one platform

I reached out to NPD looking for a clean, professional and grounding website. I was extremely overwhelmed due to the Vision I had, and the amount of work we needed to put into the Website. Juan is exceptional and gifted at what he does! He listens, advises, recommends, and he has a great attention to detail! He went over and above to deliver an absolute beautiful Website !!! And his sense of humor is EVERYTHING! We are looking forward to a long working relationship with NPD and I would definitely recommend him for Website designs. Everything works. Paystack, Bookings, and and the Website flows seamlessly. Working with you has been a breath of fresh air, Juan and thank you for your patience. I will never thank you enough. 😊🙌🏾🎉 The Aura & Growth Learning Hub Website is Officially Live!

I must admit, reading through all their reviews being 5 stars, I thought something was fishy. But Boy was I wrong, contacted New Perspective Design and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Juan. I organized a meeting with him, told him what I was wanting. With in no time everything I asked for was done and it was done properly as well which is very rare in East London. I can now see why companies all over S.A use them. They are definitely best in what they do, and highly recommend them for anyone needing the type of work they offer. As the saying goes you have tried the rest now use the best, and honestly New Perspective is definitely the best at what they do. I highly recommend them, a true gem for East London.
