At Rounded Media Solutions, we believe the ideal website is clean, professional, and to the point. A well-designed website doesn’t need to be expensive—we offer affordable solutions that suit any business, from small start-ups to large-scale custom builds. Our pricing is transparent, and you’ll always know exactly what you’re getting.

Why Your Website Matters

In today’s digital world, a strong online presence is essential. Your website is your business’s digital storefront—showing up in Google search results and on social media to attract new customers, communicate your value, and grow your business. A well-structured website is one of the most effective marketing tools at your disposal.

Even a basic website with just one or two pages can help you get started and expand over time. The most essential pages include:

  • A Home page that clearly explains what you do
  • An About or Contact Us page with your contact details

What You Need to Get Started

All you need is a clear idea of what you want your website to achieve. From there, we’ll guide you through every step of the process:

Step 1: Initial Setup & Branding

A. Hosting & Domain Name

We help you choose a reliable hosting provider and register your domain name. A good hosting plan often includes:

  • Free domain name registration
  • SSL certificate for security
  • Professional email addresses
  • Fast performance and high uptime

Hosting simply means renting server space to store your website files and make them accessible online.

B. Choosing a Website Platform

We recommend WordPress, the most widely-used website platform today. It’s flexible, powerful, and scalable—perfect for businesses of all sizes. WordPress allows us to build beautiful and functional websites without the high cost of custom-coded solutions.

C. Business Branding

Your branding—logo, colors, and fonts—sets the tone for your business online. We can design a new logo or optimize your existing one for web use, ensuring your brand identity carries through your entire website.

D. Initial Installation

Once hosting and branding are ready, we install WordPress, set up a “Coming Soon” page, and begin laying the technical foundation. This helps you start promoting your business while we work on the full site.

Step 2: Website Design & Content Creation

A. Site Layout & Content Planning

Next, we decide what content your website will include. You might need:

  • Text descriptions of your services
  • Professional images or videos
  • Contact forms or downloadable resources

We help you map out pages and layouts, using wireframes or sample templates to plan the structure. A reference site like superawesome.co.za is a great place to find inspiration.

B. Key Website Pages

The most important sections typically include:

  • A Hero Section (the first thing visitors see)—this needs to clearly explain who you are, what you offer, and how to get in touch.
  • A Contact Page with your details, a contact form, map, and social media links.
  • Optional pages such as:
    • About
    • Services
    • Testimonials
    • Photo Gallery

We design each page to be mobile-friendly, intuitive, and easy to navigate.

C. SEO-Ready Written Content

We ensure your content is optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimization), helping your site rank better in Google. We use relevant keywords and write with both users and search engines in mind. Good SEO means your ideal customers are more likely to find you online.

Need Something More Custom?

If your needs go beyond a basic site, we offer bespoke development. This includes:

  • Custom-built web applications
  • API integration
  • Tailored dashboards and workflows
  • Fully SEO-optimized code

This is ideal for businesses with unique requirements or custom tools. Let us know what you need, and we’ll build a solution from the ground up.

Step 3: Review, Test & Launch

Before going live, we test everything:

  • Links, forms, and functionality
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Speed and performance
  • Spelling, grammar, and layout

After your final approval, we launch your new site—ready to share with the world!

Step 4: Ongoing Support & Growth

Google Tools & SEO Setup

We register your website with search engines like Google and Bing to boost your visibility. We can also help you set up:

  • Google Analytics (to track traffic)
  • Google Search Console
  • Google Ads or Google Shopping (for paid marketing)

Continuous Improvement

With website analytics, you can see:

  • How many people visit your site
  • What pages they view
  • What actions they take

We use this data to continuously improve your site, increase conversions, and grow your online presence.

Backups & Maintenance

WordPress relies on themes and plugins that receive regular updates. To keep your site secure and functioning well, we recommend:

  • Regular software updates
  • Routine backups (to restore your site quickly if needed)
