Web design · Ballito
The North Coast is booming, and so is the competition. We build clean, fast websites for Ballito's holiday rentals, small shops and service businesses so new customers find you first.
Proudly South African · Websites from R2,999 · Live in about two weeks
The short version
Digital Foundry builds affordable, mobile-first websites for businesses on the KZN North Coast — Ballito, Umhlali, Salt Rock and Sheffield Beach. Packages start at R2,999 once-off with hosting from R149/month, and we aim to have your site live in about two weeks. It suits holiday rentals, boutique retail, estate agents and local trades serving the coastal estates.
Ballito has changed fast. Semigration from Gauteng, the estates at Simbithi, Zimbali and Brettenwood, and a steady stream of holidaymakers have turned a quiet Dolphin Coast town into one of the fastest-growing small-business markets in KZN. New cafés, agencies, wellness studios and tradespeople open every month — which is great, until you notice how many are competing for the same searches.
A website is how you get picked. Holiday-rental hosts need a page guests can book from; estate agents and trades serving the estates need to look established even if they've only just started; local shops need to turn a Google search into a walk-in. We build for exactly that, at a price a new North Coast business can justify.
If you let a place on the North Coast, your website is your shopfront. We make it easy for guests to see the property and enquire or book, without handing a platform a cut of every night.
Plenty of Ballito businesses are brand new — that's normal here. A clean, professional site helps you compete with operators who've been around for years.
Most of your customers are searching on a phone, often while they're already in the area. Fast, mobile-first sites turn those searches into enquiries.
Ballito, Umhlali, Salt Rock, Sheffield Beach and Shaka's Rock — same pricing, same roughly two-week turnaround, wherever you're based.
Sample builds
Tourism
Tour listings with a deposit taken online through a South African payment provider.
Retail
A weekly order form customers fill in themselves, sent straight to the owner.
Salon
An online booking calendar so clients pick a slot instead of messaging back and forth.
Sample builds that fit the North Coast mix — a booking-and-deposit site for a rental or operator, a local retailer's order form and an online-booking studio. These are demonstration designs, not real clients.
The same flat-rate pricing applies everywhere we work — each package is a once-off build fee plus a monthly hosting & maintenance fee.

| Growth | R9,999 | R249/month | For businesses that want the site to take bookings and payments. |
| Custom apps & CRMs | Get a quote | — | Booking systems, client portals and tools built around your process. |

Ballito questions
Packages start at R2,999 once-off for a one-page site, with Essentials at R4,500 and Growth at R9,999. Hosting and maintenance is a separate monthly fee from R149. The full pricing table is on this page.
Yes. Our Growth package (R9,999 once-off) can include online booking and taking a deposit, so guests enquire or reserve directly with you. A simpler listing site works well on Starter or Essentials.
That's completely normal in Ballito right now. If you don't have text or photos yet, we'll write the first draft from a conversation and use good stock imagery, so you can launch without having everything ready.
Yes — the whole Dolphin Coast, including Ballito, Umhlali, Salt Rock, Sheffield Beach and Shaka's Rock, at the same pricing and the same roughly two-week turnaround.
We aim for about two weeks from the day you send us your content, for Starter and Essentials. Growth sites take around three to four weeks because there's more to build and test.
