About Wired Web Services

The web team South African businesses stay with

Wired Web Services is a website design and development agency in Northcliff, Johannesburg. Since 2015 we have designed, built, hosted and looked after websites for businesses that want the job done properly the first time, and a team that is still there years later.

Our story

Great websites need
the right people behind them.

Wired Web Services started in 2015, but the idea behind it came earlier. Before building websites for clients, I ran websites of my own and relied on them for my income. That taught me what a business website is really for: bringing in money. Looking at other companies' websites, I saw how many of them looked fine but did nothing for the business that paid for them.

So we have always treated launch day as the starting line. The hard work of generating income from a website only really starts after it goes live: keeping it fast, secure and visible on Google, and catching the problems that quietly cost you business, like an update that breaks the website, emails that start bouncing, or a domain about to expire that nobody remembers registering. We took responsibility for all of it, and our clients stayed.

They also told the people they knew. More than 1,000 websites later, Wired Web Services launches multiple new websites every month and hosts the websites we look after on our own servers.

That idea now has a full team behind it. Design, development, support and client communication each have their own people and their own process, so every website gets the same attention long after launch as it did on day one. We build websites to earn, and we look after them so they keep earning.

A website is not a project with an end date. It is part of how a business earns its money, and it should be looked after that way.

Our evolution

Three websites, one approach

Our own website has been rebuilt as the business grew. The design, the tools and the services have changed a great deal since 2015. The way we treat clients has not.

Version 1
The first Wired Web Services website, with a purple hero headed WordPress Website Design and a grid of recent projects
Version 2
The second Wired Web Services website, with a magenta hero headed Professional Web Design For South African Business and four service cards
Version 3
The current Wired Web Services website, with a dark hero, a grid of recent client websites and six services under one roof

Every version was built for the same reason: to look after the businesses that trust us with their website, for as long as they need us.

What we stand for

How we run every project

Six commitments that apply whether you are a two-person startup or a national brand.

Fixed, itemised quotations

Scope is agreed and priced before any work starts. If your requirements change, you see the cost of the change before we do it.

You own everything

Your domain, your content and your website belong to you. If you ever move on, we hand everything over cleanly.

A team, not a freelancer

Designers, a lead developer, a support desk and a project coordinator. Leave and sick days do not stall your project.

Three quality checks

Every build is checked against its brief before you see the demo, checked again before launch, and checked on the live domain after go-live.

Performance and POPIA built in

Fast loading, mobile-first layouts, on-page SEO foundations and POPIA compliance are part of every build, not extras sold back to you.

We stay after launch

Hosting, updates, backups and security are handled by the people who built your website, which is why most of our clients have been with us for years.

The team

The people behind your website

Every client works with a small, dedicated team. Each role has a clear owner and a documented process, so nothing depends on one person being available.

Founder

Charl du Plessis

Founded the agency in 2015 and set the standards every build is checked against: architecture, hosting, security, performance and technical SEO, documented so the whole team delivers them on every project.

Design & Build

Our web designers

Your approved homepage design is taken through to a complete, tested website on a private staging link you can follow as it grows.

Support Desk

Edits and updates

Changes and questions are logged in a ticketed helpdesk, so every request is tracked, prioritised and answered by a real person.
