A web designer for Gauteng businesses
GDS is a small web design studio in South Africa, and a good share of our client work is in Gauteng: barbershops in Pretoria and Centurion, a multi-shop group across the province, and a wholesaler in Boksburg. We know how local customers search, what they expect to see, and how competitive the Gauteng market is.
What Gauteng customers look for
- Near me. Searches such as a barber, plumber or dentist "near me" lean on Google Maps. A complete Google Business Profile, from R800, matters as much as the website.
- Suburb-level relevance. People search by suburb, so we write your pages and your Google profile around the areas you actually serve, whether that is Pretoria East, Centurion or the Johannesburg northern suburbs.
- WhatsApp first. Most local customers would rather send a message than fill in a long form, so we put WhatsApp on every page.
- Speed and mobile. Most local searches happen on a phone, often on mobile data, so fast, mobile responsive pages are not optional.
What we build for Gauteng businesses
- Website design for small businesses, from R4,500 for a five-page site to R9,500 for a full business site with bookings and a blog.
- SEO and local SEO, from audits at R1,500 to monthly SEO from R2,000, so you are found in your suburb and your industry.
- Online stores, from R22,000, with local payment gateways and product uploads at R15 each.
- Industry sites, including barbershops and salons, courier and logistics and wholesalers and suppliers.
We also work with businesses across the rest of South Africa, including the Western Cape. Most of the work happens online with calls and shared drafts, which keeps costs down. If you would like to meet in person, just ask.
Do you build websites for businesses in Pretoria and Johannesburg?
Yes. We build websites, SEO and online stores for businesses in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Centurion, Boksburg and across Gauteng, and the client sites on our Work page include several from the province.
How much does web design cost in Gauteng?
Our prices are the same across South Africa and published: Foundation from R4,500, Structure from R9,500 and Skyline from R22,000, with add-ons such as Google Business Profile setup from R800.
Will my Gauteng business show up on Google Maps?
A complete Google Business Profile, set up from R800, is what puts you on the map for nearby searches. We pair it with a website written around the suburbs you serve.
Do you only work with businesses in Gauteng?
No. We work with businesses across South Africa, and the process is designed to work well online, so location is not a barrier.
