Find out how a dedicated web development agency can benefit your business:
We may know not to judge a book by its cover, but in the competitive online landscape, companies are most certainly judged by their websites! The look, feel, and user-friendliness of your website is your chance to make a great first impression… or a not-so-great one.
We’ve been offering world class web design in Cape Town, Johannesburg and across South Africa for many years, and we’ve learned how crucial it is to get all the elements of web development right for our clients. These include navigation, speed, readability and consistency, an effective layout, and many behind-the-scenes coding elements.
If you imagine a website as a building, web designers are like the architects, and web developers are like the engineers that make the architect’s vision come to life. They take all the stylistic and aesthetic elements of the website, and turn them into functioning websites.
The very best websites come about when designers and developers are able to work together towards a shared vision. As both a web development and web design agency, Ruby Digital is able to bring all these aspects together seamlessly!
First impressions matter, and what better way to create a positive one than by having a professionally designed and highly user-friendly website?
At Ruby Digital we understand the importance of having a website for your business. More and more consumers are taking to the internet to find products and services, and without a website you are invisible to them, leaving them no choice but to go to your competitors.
Having a wonderfully designed website is useless if it’s not converting visitors into customers! That is why we create websites that are optimized for conversion, giving you a website that is both beautifully designed and extremely functional.
Our team of dedicated web developers handle every aspect on your behalf. This includes keeping servers running perfectly, handling website security and privacy, and maintaining your valuable databases. We do what it takes to guarantee you have a beautiful website that runs smoothly 24/7, 365.
A big benefit that Ruby Digital has over other website development companies in Johannesburg is that since we are also an SEO company, we are able to create websites that are designed using the latest SEO practices, giving your website increased visibility. Additionally, your website is designed from start to finish by us – we don’t outsource to other web design companies.
We consider all options to ensure that your targeted audiences have the best user experience possible and that they can be immediately captured and converted. Our creative design strategy results in high traffic conversion and ultimately increases your bottom line.
As an experienced design and branding expert team, we have successfully designed and constructed multiple e-commerce websites for start-ups and corporations in a wide range of industry verticals.

If you’ve spent any time online at all, you’ve probably heard about some of the amazing website builder platforms – like WordPress, Wix and Weebly – that allow anyone to create their own basic website for free. This has been one of the biggest game changers of the digital age, as it’s allowed even the smallest businesses to establish a foothold in the online landscape.
This is pretty awesome! But unfortunately, it’s also meant that as businesses start to grow, they’ve often been forced to build off a basic website that hasn’t been designed with the long term in mind. As search engines like Google have started factoring elements like user experience, mobile friendliness and load speeds more and more into their algorithms, these websites see their SEO rankings start falling.
Consumers’ tastes and preferences in websites have also changed. Increasingly, simply designed and easy to navigate sites have become more popular. One of the most common mistakes we see in our web design and development agency is sites that try and cram too much information and too many visuals into their homepage, confusing and frustrating the visitor. This makes it a lot more likely they’ll click away and go looking for information from a competitor instead.
Another common mistake is focusing too much on the visual aspects, and not enough on developing a website that actually works. The most beautiful website in the world won’t get you customers if they can’t actually find the information they’re looking for.
Some of the key elements we incorporate in our web design in South Africa include:
While the look and feel of your website help to establish its identity, it’s your content that gives it a voice! Our extensive team of talented and experienced content creators will craft engaging and informative copy that takes your website development to the next level.
They say ‘Content is King’ for a reason – good content marketing will always be part of effective web development. Our ability to offer design, SEO and content services all in one sets us apart from other web design companies in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Get in touch today if you’d like to find out more about our comprehensive WordPress website design service. If you’re looking for web development in Johannesburg, Cape Town or anywhere else in SA, our expert web developers will consider all of the above and more in creating a visually impressive, highly functional site for your brand.
That’s the very first question our expert web developers will ask when coming up with the optimal design for your brand. For a site to perform at its best, its design needs to align with your ultimate objectives.
Here are just some of the things the Ruby Digital web design agency can do for your business:
From its early days as a simple blogging platform, WordPress has grown into a full-on content management system that millions of businesses use to power their websites. (Even giants like CNN and Forbes use WordPress!) One of the great advantages of using WordPress are significantly reduced costs and time frames, as you don’t have to go about coding an entire website completely from scratch.
Another benefit for our clients is the ease with which they can add new content (like your latest blog post) themselves, without needing a third party to upload it on your behalf. And while the basics are very simple, if you want your WordPress-powered website to really stand out, you need expert level skills and experience.
That’s where our WordPress website design service becomes invaluable. Whether you already have a WordPress based website and need help adding more functionality and plug-ins, or like the idea of a website you can add fresh content to easily, this service is perfect for you.
In addition to these advantages, there are several other benefits which come from using a WordPress site:
One of the reasons we’re such fans of WordPress website design is how well the platform integrates with SEO. Aside from helping us build great-looking, highly functional websites for our clients, it also makes our job of getting them ranking higher in search results simpler too!
