WEB DEVELOPMENT THAT TURNS YOUR WEBSITE INTO A GROWTH ENGINE

RubyWeb delivers WordPress development services for South African businesses serious about growth, starting with the commercial outcome and building backward from there. 
The Real Problem

Your Website Has Visitors. It Should Have Leads.


Most businesses come to us with a website that has visitors but not leads. Traffic arrives, the site looks fine, the product is solid, but something between landing and the enquiry form breaks down, and no one can explain why. It’s rarely one big problem, it’s small ones stacked together, and we know how to find them. 

The gaps that quietly cost you leads.

RubyWeb diagnoses exactly where the funnel breaks, then fixes the cause, not the symptom.

We rebuild the homepage to guide visitors toward a clear next step.

We optimise product pages and checkout to recover the buyers you're losing.

We redesign forms to lower friction and lift submission rates.

We rebuild it into an asset that performs, not just one that looks acceptable.

We close that gap by building a site engineered to convert better than theirs.

Our Capabilities

WordPress Development Services Built Around Commercial Outcomes

We organise our services around what your business actually needs to grow, not around categories that make sense to an agency. 

How We Deliver Every Project

Every engagement runs through the same eight-phase process, no shortcuts, no exceptions: UX/UI Audit, Project Planning, Wireframes, Design, Content Finalisation, Development, Testing & UAT, and Launch. Every site is Google Lighthouse benchmarked before it goes live. 
  1. UX / UI Audit

    We look at what you have before we plan what to build. No assumptions, no copy-paste from the last client.

  2. Project Planning

    Scope, timeline, milestones, and communication rhythm agreed upfront. You’ll know what’s happening before a single tool is opened.

  3. Wireframes

    Structure before style. We map how users move through the site and agree on the architecture before design begins. This is where conversion is built in - not bolted on.

  4. Design

    Brand-aligned visuals with clear feedback checkpoints. Nothing moves to development without your sign-off.

  5. Content Finalization

    Every page needs final copy, images, and assets before the build starts. We manage this actively - most project delays live here, and we protect against that early.

  6. Development

    Clean code, regular updates, no surprises. A 50% deposit secures your start date.

  7. Testing & UAT

    We test across devices and browsers before you see it. You review and sign off before anyone talks about launch.

  8. Launch

    Tuesday to Thursday only. Google Lighthouse benchmarked, fully documented, handed off with training.

Selected Work

WordPress Development Projects That Delivered Real Growth

Three engagements, three different challenges, one consistent approach: commercial outcomes first.

JoJo

JoJo is one of South Africa's most recognised brands in water storage. Their challenge was architecture - two separate websites, two audiences, and a product catalogue that was not working hard enough commercially. We rebuilt the structure and let the brand do what it does best.

Moksi

Moksi is a South African online marketplace championing local businesses and proudly made products. Building a multi-vendor platform where independent sellers manage their own storefronts is significantly more complex than a standard online store. We built it, hosted it, and continue to run it.

Cornerstone Guesthouse

Cornerstone Guesthouse had a strong reputation and loyal guests. What they didn't have was a website. We built one from scratch, integrated a booking system, and supported early SEO work that translated into measurable increases in online reservations.

WordPress Development Services - FAQ

Our WordPress development services are scoped and priced by project - not by hourly rate or standard package. A straightforward WordPress website typically starts from $5,000–$10,000. A WooCommerce store, a site with CRM integrations, or a larger rebuild will run higher. We provide a fixed-price quote before any project begins, so there are no hourly surprises and no open-ended scope. Our South African base means premium-quality WordPress development at rates that are genuinely competitive against other agencies.

A typical WordPress website build runs 6-12 weeks from project kickoff to launch. WooCommerce development projects typically run 8-14 weeks. Timelines are agreed at the project planning stage and tracked through all eight delivery phases - you always know exactly where your project stands.

Every site we build is custom - designed from scratch around your brand, your audience, and your conversion goals. We don’t install themes and adjust colors. We start with wireframes that reflect your specific user journey, build a design system from your brand identity, and develop on WordPress with clean, performant code. The result is a site built for your business, not adapted from someone else’s starting point.

Our UX audits cover user journey mapping, drop-off point analysis, Google Lighthouse performance benchmarking, mobile experience review, and a prioritized action plan ordered by commercial impact. You receive a document you can act on immediately - not a list of issues you have to interpret. For businesses planning a rebuild, the audit often becomes the project brief.

Yes - and often that’s the right recommendation. If your WordPress site has a solid foundation, targeted optimization work - UX improvements, performance fixes, conversion rate work - can deliver significant results faster and more cost-effectively than a full rebuild. We’ll tell you honestly which approach makes more commercial sense after reviewing what you have.

Yes, we do. Every project has a dedicated project manager and a structured communication cadence: weekly updates, a shared project tracker, and defined feedback windows at every milestone. Most clients tell us our process is more transparent than anything they’ve experienced with other agencies. Time zone differences are a scheduling consideration, not a delivery barrier.
