A small web studio for South African small and medium businesses
Fast. Beautiful. Findable.
Quick on cheap mobile data, comfortable on a small screen, open to everyone. Not a slogan: a spec sheet. This page is 359KB and meets WCAG 2.2 AA, because every site we build must. Including ours.
Who we are
AyeAyeWebsites is a small studio run by Sudip, Clare and Gerrit. We design websites for creatives and for small and medium businesses, host them on AWS for very little, and make them findable by Google and by the AI assistants your customers ask now. You talk to the people who build it. The work answers for itself.
You know the site
A white screen, ticking away your customer’s data.

Our fix is a standard, not a promise
Every site leaves this studio with the same receipt.
Under 500KB so it loads on slow 3G. Designed at 375px first, because that is where your customers are. Accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA, so everyone gets in. Marked up for Google and readable by AI assistants. You approve it running before it deploys, it passes a QA gate before it goes live, and the domain is registered in your name. Always.
And because a standard you can’t check is just marketing, here is this page’s own till slip.
What we do
Six things, done properly.
- Build or redesign. A site that looks like you, not like a template.
- Host and look after. Monitoring, updates and a monthly report, on a small retainer.
- Get found. We choose the Google searches you should win, then report the real numbers from Search Console every month.
- Take money. Card payments and bookings through Yoco. The money lands in your account, not ours.
- Feed your socials. A monthly content pack: calendar, captions, shot lists.
- Your own address. Domain set-up and migration, registered to you.
The work
Two ports of call.
Both live. Both load.

How it works
Four steps. You approve every one.
01The audit
Free, over WhatsApp. We read your current site and tell you plainly what is wrong, what it costs you, and what we would do.
02The build
You watch it take shape and approve it running before anything is published. Then it passes the QA gate: links, accessibility, weight, speed.
03Going live
Deployed on AWS with Cape Town and Johannesburg edges. Your domain, registered in your name.
04Looked after
A small monthly retainer covers hosting, monitoring, updates and a monthly report with your real Google numbers in it.
