What’s included
Is a custom build the right fit?
A focused five-page custom business website is planned at R7,500–R12,500. Optional features, VAT where applicable and recurring costs are separate; the written scope determines the quote.
Paws On Route is a WordPress website for a George pet grooming and pet sitting business. The portfolio records service-led pages and call, WhatsApp and contact-form routes. Its saved October 2026 screenshots show the homepage, services and doggy-daycare information. This illustrates the work a visitor needs to do: understand the service and find the right way to enquire.
For your build, we agree the page structure, shape the service information, design the mobile and desktop layouts, and check the enquiry journey. Search foundations, launch checks and handover are part of that scope. Content responsibilities and any booking system, payments or integrations need to be named in the quote. The Paws On Route example does not establish its original fee or a measured increase in bookings.
A custom build makes sense when several services need explaining, existing pages need careful migration, or your team needs a considered content and enquiry structure. If you only need a small brochure with ready-to-use content, a simpler template site may be enough. Bring that brief so we can discuss the smaller scope before you budget for a full build.
Compare custom websites and DIY builders to decide which approach fits your content and enquiry needs.
If an existing AI-built site is mostly complete and has a specific fault, compare the rescue packages. Repair work has a different scope from designing a new website. For a build, bring your priority services, existing URL, available content and the action you want visitors to take.
Scope and decisions
We start with your offer, the customers you want to reach and the questions they ask before making contact. The deliverable is a clear content structure and responsive interface, supported by an enquiry journey that is tested from the page to the receiving inbox.
Paws On Route is an existing WordPress business website with service information and direct enquiry routes. Mineralis is a separate, self-initiated design for a fictional brand, not commissioned client work. Its product-and-enquiry presentation is a design example; neither study establishes measured sales uplift.
WordPress can suit teams that need familiar content editing. A custom Next.js build can suit a more distinctive interface or application integration. We choose with you after reviewing editing responsibilities, hosting, content migration and the cost of maintaining the result.
Bring your existing URL, priority services, available photography and examples of suitable enquiries. We define what content you supply, what we produce and who signs off each stage. A redesign includes an inventory of useful existing URLs and an explicit redirect plan.

Explore the project →Business · Project studyMineralis is a self-initiated, independent UX design study for a fictional decorative concrete finishes brand. Pixaloom designed and built this study to explore responsive visual design, useful navigation and clear product or service discovery. It was not commissioned by a client and does not represent a live trading business. Content, product details and prices are illustrative; demo forms send nothing.
