Web design in Pretoria that has to earn its keep
Owl Media provides web design for Pretoria businesses: WordPress websites from R9,100 and online stores from R15,750, with the Google Ads and SEO run by the same team that built the site. We’ve served Pretoria from neighbouring Centurion since 2014, meeting clients at their offices or over Teams. Ons praat ook Afrikaans.

Choosing a web design company in Pretoria
Search “web design Pretoria” and you’ll find two kinds of results: one-person outfits with no prices and no reviews, and big agencies where your project is handled by whoever is free that week. Both can burn months.
Here’s how we’re set up instead. Owl Media is a three-person studio — Marlo on development, Google and Meta Ads and strategy; Martin on design and development; Amorie on copywriting and content. When you hire us, those are the people doing the work and answering your messages. We’ve been doing this since 2014, we publish our prices, and we carry a 4.5★ rating on Google.
The test we hold every site to is simple: would a busy Pretoria business owner land on it, trust it, and send a message? Everything — design, copy, speed, WhatsApp buttons — serves that.
What you get
- Website design and development — custom-designed WordPress sites you can update yourself. Packages from R9,100 (1–4 pages) to R15,050 (11–13 pages), with custom functionality quoted at R750 per hour.
- E-commerce — WooCommerce stores with PayFast payments, from R15,750.
- Google Ads management — campaigns with honest reporting and proper conversion tracking, run by the same people who built your pages.
- SEO and AI search — getting found on Google, Google Maps, and increasingly in ChatGPT and Google’s AI answers.
That combination is our difference: one team owns the website and the traffic going to it, so there’s no gap for your enquiries to fall through.
Pretoria work we’re proud of
- SkinDNA Hair, Nails & Beauty — a salon in Waverley: a warm, service-led website with their full treatment menu linked straight into online booking.
- A Pretoria North industrial supplier — ongoing brand and print design, including the A1 wall calendar their customers hang up every year.
“I have worked with OwlMedia, Marlo, and Martin for almost an entire year and continue to use their services into 2023. They are extremely good at what they do, and offer very competitive prices. They were able to take what we envisioned and produced something far beyond our expectations. We used them for our first website, and then contracted them for another where they also designed an incredible logo for our business. Our business will continue to work with them and we have never had a problem” — David Bradfield, Google review
Where we work in Pretoria
We’re based in Centurion, fifteen minutes down the N1, and work across greater Pretoria: the CBD, Hatfield and Brooklyn, Menlyn, Silverton and Pretoria North, plus Pretoria East, which has its own page. First meetings happen at your office or over Teams or Zoom — whatever moves the project fastest.
Local still counts for something. A designer who has sat in your reception, seen your fleet and heard how your customers talk writes a better website than one working from a form.
Prices and timelines, upfront
Our website packages run from R9,100 for a 1–4 page site to R15,050 for 11–13 pages, online stores start at R15,750, and custom functionality is quoted at R750 per hour (all excluding VAT). You pay a 50% deposit and can split the balance monthly during the build. A 5–10 page site takes 4–6 weeks; complex or e-commerce builds 8–12 weeks. The full table, including what’s in each package, is on the pricing page.
What happens next
- You message us on WhatsApp or send the form.
- A 15-minute call so we understand the job.
- A fixed quote within 2 working days.
- We build, you approve.
- Launch and support.
Web design in Pretoria: your questions
How much does web design cost in Pretoria?
Our website packages run from R9,100 (1–4 pages) to R15,050 (11–13 pages), excluding VAT, with online stores from R15,750 and custom work at R750 per hour. We quote fixed prices after a 15-minute call, and you can split the balance monthly during the build.
How long will my website take?
A 5–10 page business site takes 4–6 weeks. E-commerce and complex builds take 8–12 weeks. We agree the timeline in the quote, and the build stays on schedule as long as content approvals keep moving.
Do you only do websites, or marketing too?
Both — that’s the point of hiring us. We build the website and then run the Google Ads and SEO that send it visitors. One team owns the whole result, so your ads land on pages designed for them.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. We come to you — CBD, Hatfield, Brooklyn, Menlyn, Silverton or Pretoria North — or meet over Teams or Zoom. We’re a service-area business based in Centurion, so meetings happen at your premises or online rather than at an office you have to drive to.
Werk julle in Afrikaans?
Ja. Ons gesels, skryf en ontwerp gemaklik in Afrikaans of Engels — jy kies. Baie van ons Pretoria-kliënte verkies Afrikaans, en jou webwerf se teks kan ook tweetalig wees.
Will I own my website?
Yes, fully. The domain, hosting account and WordPress site are yours. We build it so you can edit content yourself, and if you ever leave, you take everything with you — no hostage clauses.
What if I need changes after launch?
Small changes are quick and billed at R750 per hour, with most updates turned around fast. Our Annual Website Support plan — R2,250 per year — covers monthly backups, WordPress updates and security scans so the site itself stays healthy.
