SLK Projects

Operating out of Johannesburg since 2022, SLK Projects is a small, founder-led digital studio working with African businesses across travel, brand, finance and technology sectors. The team is compact — ten people or fewer — and positions itself as an alternative to templated, high-volume agencies, favouring direct accountability from the founder on every project. Clients referenced in its portfolio include travel brands, a leadership foundation project delivered pro bono, and corporate and consumer businesses seeking both digital identity and functioning software. The studio's declared service range covers AI integration and transformation, brand and design work, web and app development, systems and automation, and consulting and advisory, alongside SEO, PPC, social media marketing and UX/UI design. Its stated method follows four stages: mapping the client's actual problem rather than working from a generic brief, designing a system architecture with scoped deliverables, building and integrating software, automations and AI tools that connect to existing platforms, and a handover phase that includes documentation, training and ongoing tuning after launch. Its AI work is described as "human-led," meaning automations and assistants are built to keep people involved in decisions rather than replace them. Development output is described as server-rendered sites and apps aimed at ranking and converting, while design work focuses on identity systems intended to give smaller businesses a more established visual presence.
