DevIgnite

Operating from Sandton, Johannesburg, DevIgnite is a small web design studio run by two founders who handle every project directly, without account managers or additional layers between client and builder. The studio targets South African brands and small-to-growing businesses — from solo founders launching a first site to established companies needing more complex builds — while also working with clients internationally. Its stated aim is to close the gap between templated, low-cost websites and full agency pricing by offering custom design and hand-coded development at freelancer rates. Services cover custom website design, mobile-first responsive layouts, UI/UX design with clickable interactive prototypes provided before coding begins, on-page SEO, and e-commerce and mobile app development. Technical delivery includes semantic HTML, structured data, meta tag setup, and Core Web Vitals tuning applied at launch rather than as a separate retainer. Work is organised into three pricing tiers: a Basic package for one-to-three-page sites with contact forms and hosting setup, a Standard package for four-to-eight-page sites with on-page SEO and performance optimisation, and an Advanced/Business package covering custom UI/UX, CMS or dynamic content, and analytics and tracking integration. Hosting, maintenance, and monthly content updates are offered as optional add-ons after the initial build, allowing clients to pay once for the site and select ongoing support separately rather than through a mandatory retainer.
