— House Rule №01

Behaviour first. Design second.

I didn't start by learning how to make things pretty. I started by tearing apart e-commerce sites — reading heatmaps, watching session recordings, obsessing over the exact millisecond a visitor decides to bounce.

By the time I opened a code editor, I already knew why people click. Design became the second question, not the first. That order changes everything.

"I learned the psychology of conversion before I learned how to design. That order changed everything."

— House Rule №02

Custom code. Every time.

No Wix. No Squarespace. No Elementor. No page-builder shortcuts. Every KC site is hand-written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — the same discipline that separates a bespoke tailor from a factory floor.

You own every line. You can hand it to any developer, host it anywhere, change it whenever. No lock-in, no monthly subscriptions, no black boxes.

— House Rule №03

One client at a time.

I run KC solo. That means when you hire me, your project gets my full focus — from the first WhatsApp call to the final line of code, usually within 4–8 days depending on tier.

The trade-off is that I can only take 3 clients per quarter. The upside is that every build gets the same care my flagship builds got.

— House Rule №04

Ship. Measure. Then refine.

Perfectionism kills momentum. I'd rather ship a solid v1 in a week, watch how real visitors behave, and refine from real data than spend a month polishing assumptions.

Every KC site launches with analytics baked in. You'll know within 14 days what's working and what isn't — and I'll help you fix it.

— The short version

Four rules that run the studio.

If you agree with these, we'll probably work well together. If you don't — no hard feelings.

01.

Conversion is a behaviour, not a decoration.

Beautiful sites that don't convert are expensive brochures. Every design decision on a KC build has to answer one question: does this move the visitor closer to buying?

02.

Own the code. Own the outcome.

Template sites lock you into someone else's ecosystem. Custom code means you can move hosts, hire any developer, or scale the site as you scale the business — on your terms.

03.

Focus is a competitive advantage.

Agencies juggle 20 projects. I take 3 per quarter. That's why every KC site feels hand-finished — because it literally is. No junior handoffs. No corner-cutting.

— The build process

From WhatsApp to launch. Four steps.

No agency-speak. No 40-page decks. Just the sequence that turns a brief into a live site.

Step 01

The call.

Day 0 · 15 min · WhatsApp

You WhatsApp me. I ask five questions about your business, your customer, and what you actually need. By the end of the call, I know if I can help.

Step 02

The proposal.

Day 1 · fixed price

Within 24 hours you get a written proposal with a fixed price, a fixed timeline, and a clear scope. No hourly billing. No surprises later.

Step 03

The build.

Days 2–7 · 50% deposit

50% deposit unlocks the build. You get a private preview link and daily updates on WhatsApp. Two rounds of revisions baked in — no drama.

Step 04

The launch.

Day 7–8 · 50% final

Final payment, we ship to your domain, and I hand you the analytics dashboard. 30-day support included — you don't fly solo on day one.

— Just so we're clear

What KC is, and isn't.

— What KC IS

A solo studio that ships custom-coded, conversion-focused websites for South African businesses.
Focused on hospitality, e-commerce, services, and property — industries where the site has to do commercial work.
Built around fixed pricing, fast delivery (2–8 days), and complete client ownership of the final code.
Deeply invested in the psychology of buying — not just the aesthetics of design.
Comfortable saying "no" to projects that aren't a fit. Only 3 slots per quarter, on purpose.

— What KC ISN'T

Not an agency. No account managers, no strategy departments, no junior handoffs. Just me, from brief to launch.
Not a page-builder shop. If you want a Wix or Squarespace template, KC isn't the right fit — and that's okay.
Not the cheapest option in Johannesburg. Fixed prices reflect the depth of the work, not the speed of a template.
Not a subscription trap. No monthly retainers required. You own everything on delivery. Full stop.
Not always available. When the quarter's 3 slots are gone, they're gone. Waiting list opens for the next one.
