04 / Websites & e-commerceA better place to do business.
Business websites, online stores and digital platforms that give people a reason to choose you—and a clear way to take the next step. Designed and built around your business.
A Webflow website, custom order form and distributor directory. From discovering a product to placing an order.
01 / DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. DISTINCTIVE WEBSITES.
Your world. Brought online.
A construction company, a ceramics brand, a specialist store. Each needs its own expression—and a website that serves a real purpose.
FEATURED / CHEL
A company’s experience, made visible.
For CHEL, we turned an existing identity, company material and project history into a WordPress website. A clear service structure, real project imagery and an editable portfolio give the team a place to show what they do.
Keep a distinctive store moving forward.Our work on Wonki Ware’s existing Shopify store includes visual navigation, product and collection merchandising, checkout troubleshooting and shipping configuration. Ongoing improvements around an established brand.
A store connected to the business behind it.BigBore’s brand and custom online store connect product discovery with payment, accounting and fulfilment. We built the storefront and management workflows, integrating Paystack, Sage, BobGo and transactional email.
Start with what people need to understand or do. We’ll shape the content, design and technology around that job.
01
A business website.
Help the right people understand your offer, see your experience and get in touch. Bring your services, projects and content into a clear structure your team can keep current.
COMPANY SITES · CONTENT & CMS · ENQUIRIES02
An online store.
Make products easier to discover, choose and buy. Build a Shopify or custom store—or improve an existing one—with the catalogue, checkout and delivery workflow considered together.
SHOPIFY · CUSTOM COMMERCE · STORE IMPROVEMENTS03
A digital platform.
Give visitors a useful task to complete. Add a directory, account area, calculator, custom form or connected data where the business needs more than publishing pages.

Building a complete software product or a customer portal?
The design gets attention. The structure, content and details help people make their next move.
Discover→Understand→Act
01
Clear to people. Understandable to search.
Useful page content, meaningful headings, internal links, metadata and appropriate structured data give your offer a clear place online.
02
Considered on every screen.
Responsive layouts, optimised imagery, readable contrast and accessible navigation. Forms and key actions need to work with a keyboard as well as a mouse.
03
Ready for the people running it.
Editable content, practical admin workflows and an agreed handover. Your team should know how to keep the site useful after launch.
04
A careful move from what came before.
When replacing a site, inventory its content, preserve the valuable archive and map changed URLs. Plan and check redirects, forms and domain changes.
04 / FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO LAUNCH
A clear direction. At every step.
You see the thinking, the design and the working site as it develops. The scope includes the content and decisions needed to move forward.
Define the job.
Clarify the audience, the action you want visitors to take and what already exists. Review content, current URLs, integrations and who will maintain the site.
You review: priorities, page structure & a focused scope
Make the direction tangible.
Shape the content and key journeys, then design the pages that establish the experience. Review the direction before it becomes the full website.
You review: key page designs & the proposed user journey

You explore: a working preview on desktop & mobile

05 / THE PLATFORM FOLLOWS THE PURPOSE
Your requirements. The right foundation.
We consider editing, commerce, integrations and long-term ownership together. The choice should make sense for your team.
Content & company websites
WordPress · Webflow · Cloudfusion CMS
A structured home for your services, projects and publishing, with the editing flexibility your team needs.
From improvements to an established store to a custom storefront and business workflows. Choose around the catalogue, buying journey and operational needs.
Assess the connections, hosting and domain setup as part of the build. BigBore brings Paystack, Sage and BobGo together, with Cloudflare DNS for its branded domain.
Plan image delivery, caching and hosting alongside the site. Where Cloudflare forms part of the setup, configure it around the website and verify changes against real pages. Performance depends on the content, implementation and delivery environment.
We recommend the platform after understanding your content, transactions, integrations and internal team. Our work includes WordPress, Webflow, Cloudfusion CMS, Shopify and custom frontends. We explain the trade-offs, ongoing subscriptions and maintenance before you commit.
Can you improve our current website or Shopify store?
Yes. We can review the current setup and scope focused changes to content, navigation, design, functionality or store operations. Our Wonki Ware work is ongoing development and support of an existing Shopify store. A rebuild is considered when it is the right route for your requirements.
Will we be able to update the website ourselves?
We agree which content your team needs to manage and structure the CMS around it. That can include pages, projects, products or articles, with a handover for the agreed editing workflows. More complex functionality and technical maintenance may need ongoing development support.
How do you approach SEO and AI-search visibility?
We build useful, readable content, clear page structure, descriptive metadata, internal links, appropriate structured data and crawlable pages into the work. We also consider performance and accessibility. Ongoing search visibility needs continuing content and measurement; no website build can guarantee rankings or inclusion in AI answers.
Can we keep our existing articles and search history?
Yes. We plan the migration around an inventory of your existing URLs, content and media. Important content is retained, changed URLs are mapped to relevant destinations, and redirects and crawl settings are checked before and after launch. The size and condition of the archive form part of the scope.
How much does a website cost, and how long does it take?
For a new website or online store, plan for a first phase of R25,000 or more, excluding VAT. This is planning guidance, not a fixed-price package. Pages, content preparation, product data, custom features and integrations determine the quote and schedule. Focused improvements to an existing site are scoped separately. Hosting, subscriptions and ongoing support are separate costs.
Can the site connect to our other business systems?
Yes, where suitable access and APIs are available. We assess the data, permissions and workflow before confirming scope. BigBore connects its custom store with payment, accounting and fulfilment services; more involved connections are covered by our Systems Integration & Automation service.
