Learn moreMany Port Elizabeth businesses have websites that are 5-10 years old and reflect it slow load times, poor mobile experience, outdated design, and low conversion rates. A redesign is not a cosmetic exercise it’s a business investment.

We then redesign and rebuild, migrating all content and preserving your existing SEO rankings. Port Elizabeth clients typically see a 40-60% conversion improvement post-redesign. Redesigns from R30,000 see full pricing.

What makes us different
Gauteng-quality design. Eastern Cape-competitive pricing. Remote-first workflow that works better than being local.
Johannesburg agencies charge R80,000-R150,000 for websites that Juicy Designs delivers from R35,000 without compromising on strategy, design quality, or technical standards. Port Elizabeth businesses should not have to choose between a quality web presence and a reasonable price. We’ve closed that gap. Several Port Elizabeth clients have saved 40-60% versus the Johannesburg agency quote they received before contacting us.
Our remote workflow is structured, fast, and personal. Video discovery calls, shared Figma designs for real-time review, WhatsApp project channels for fast communication, and founder access throughout. Port Elizabeth clients consistently report the process feels more personal and responsive than dealing with a Johannesburg agency that sends account managers. Average project satisfaction: 4.8 / 5.
Every Port Elizabeth website we build scores 95+ on Google PageSpeed, is technically SEO-ready from day one, and is designed around conversion rate not just visual aesthetics. We build business tools, not online brochures. Founders Cobus and Wynand personally review every delivery before it reaches the client.

Client results
Port Elizabeth and Eastern Cape businesses that chose quality over compromise.
“Best investment our lodge has made. Our old website was embarrassing next to the competition on Summerstrand beach. Juicy designed something we’re genuinely proud of guests comment on it when they arrive. Bookings through the site are up 180% year-on-year. The remote process was seamless, they understood the Summerstrand tourism market immediately.”
“We needed a professional site for our logistics business that would stand up to national competitors tendering on the same contracts. Juicy Designs delivered exactly that built in Pretoria, but they understood the Nelson Mandela Bay port and freight logistics sector. Every tender we’ve submitted since launch has been received with comments on how professional the site looks. Worth every rand.”
“Beautiful, fast, and converts. I was nervous about working with an agency in Pretoria but the process was completely smooth better communication than local Port Elizabeth providers I’ve used before. The site launched on time, looks exactly like I imagined, and we now get more online bookings than walk-in clients. Highly recommend.”
