Why AURA

Most companies spend years building exceptional products, strong teams and meaningful businesses. Yet their digital presence often tells a smaller story. That gap costs trust, perceived value and opportunities. My work is to align what people see with what you’ve actually built.

Two machined gears meeting tooth to tooth

We connect the dots.

Your website is where ideal customers decide if you're worth their time. We take what makes you irreplaceable, shape the entire experience around it, and make sure they feel that before they read another word.

What I can help with

  1. Research - Strategy - Structure

    Before anything is designed: what the business needs the site to do, who has to believe it, and the pages and order that get them there. Goal, audience and structure, settled on paper first.

  2. UX - UI - Visual direction

    Interfaces built around how your buyers decide — hierarchy, rhythm, type and motion that make the business feel as considered as the work it does.

  3. Development - Motion - SEO

    Hand-built, fast and findable. Every section a reusable component, every animation kept separate, and the parts you'll want to change made easy to change.

  4. Strategy - Design - Development

    A store that feels as considered as the product in it: the catalogue and buying journey planned first, then a storefront built around product storytelling rather than a default theme.

  5. Workflow - Design - Engineering

    The software behind the website — fees, invoicing and reconciliation, jobcards, payroll, portals and onboarding. Real databases, real roles and permissions, delivered in phases you can use as they land.

  6. Positioning - Messaging - Visual identity

    Positioning and identity worked out alongside the site, so it has something true and specific to say — in words and in how it looks.

  7. Hosting - Monthly management - DNS & email - SEO

    Launch is the start, not the finish. I stay on for hosting, monthly management and data capturing, DNS and email, and the SEO and analytics that keep a site found.

FAQ

Here’s what to consider before we work together.

Who will actually be working on our project?

Andrew leads every engagement — strategy and creative direction — and is your primary point of contact throughout.

Depending on scope, a carefully selected team of collaborators supports on design and development. The level of care and craft stays consistent, regardless of project size.

How long do your projects usually take?

Most projects run 10–14 weeks end to end.

Timelines can flex based on scope, but we set milestones from day one so there are no surprises.

How do you communicate and manage work?

We keep things simple and transparent, with a dedicated Notion portal to manage your project — timelines and deliverables in one place.

Most of the time you'll receive async Loom updates and weekly communication via Slack or WhatsApp. We can also integrate with your tools, so the process stays structured yet flexible.

Synchronous calls are typically scheduled to review important decisions or milestones.

What do you need to start working together?

We'll discuss your specific needs on a discovery call, then provide a tailored proposal to match your project.

After that, we just need the signed proposal and contract, and the initial project deposit. That's all — we keep onboarding fast so we can get to work as soon as possible. Ready to get started?

After that, you're fully equipped to manage things in-house — and if you ever want ongoing support, we offer care plans tailored to your needs.

Can you handle branding, design and development?

Absolutely. Our speciality is delivering all three under one roof, focused on what matters most to you and your business.

Whether you're a team of 10 or a brand operating in 50 countries, your narrative, identity, visuals and functionality are aligned from day one, creating a cohesive final experience.

What is the project investment?

Project investment starts from R8,000, with most projects ranging from R10,000 to R100,000 depending on scope and project complexity.
