About

A small studio that builds things properly.

AceSite is a digital studio based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, working with businesses across South Africa. We design and build websites, custom CRM systems and automation, and run the search marketing that fills them. Seven projects delivered since 2024.

Seven businesses in, the pattern is obvious.

Every project so far started the same way: a business doing good work, losing enquiries somewhere between someone searching for them and someone getting a reply. The website was slow, or invisible, or the enquiry landed in a mailbox nobody watched.

None of that is a design problem. It is an operations problem that happens to have a website in the middle of it. So the work grew — from sites, to the quoting and tracking systems behind them, to the marketing that feeds them.

AceSite stays small deliberately. The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it. Nothing gets handed to an account manager, and nothing gets quietly subcontracted halfway through.

How we work

Four rules we do not bend

Say the honest number

If a project does not need what you asked for, we say so before quoting it. We have talked people out of rebuilds their existing site did not need. It costs us a job and earns the next three.

Build it to be handed over

Every project is built as though someone else will maintain it. Documented, standard, no clever tricks that only make sense to the person who wrote them.

Speed is a feature

A site that loads in four seconds loses enquiries that a site loading in one keeps. This is measurable, it is not aesthetic preference, and it is why nothing here is built on a page builder.

Own your own infrastructure

Your domain, your hosting account, your code, your analytics. We hold nothing hostage. If you outgrow us, everything moves with you in an afternoon.

So far

A short history

2024

First builds

Sites for local businesses in Durban — retail, sport and media production. Each one taught us more about what small businesses actually need than any brief did.
2025

Beyond websites

Clients started asking for the systems behind the site: quoting, job tracking, automation. That is when AceSite stopped being a web design service and became a digital studio.
2026

Nationwide

Seven sites delivered, projects running in Johannesburg and Cape Town alongside Durban, and a practice built around search and answer-engine visibility.

Where we work

Durban base. Three markets.

We are based in Durban, which is where our address, our phone number and our Google listing are. We also run projects in Johannesburg and Cape Town, remotely by default and on-site when it genuinely helps.
