Web design in Johannesburg that gets you found on Google
Websites that load fast, show up when customers search, and turn visitors into calls. Built and looked after from Kempton Park, for businesses across Johannesburg and South Africa.
Position one is not luck. It is structure, speed and the right words on the page.
A real person builds your website and answers when you call
I’m Stanley Mehale, and I started Stan Design Sites in 2019. I build websites that strengthen your brand and are easy for customers to use, and I’ve spent those years helping businesses in Johannesburg build a presence that actually brings in enquiries.
Creativity gets you noticed. Technical work gets you found. Combining the two is the whole job, and it is why clients stay on after launch rather than going quiet.

Learn moreShow up on Google Maps when customers search nearby
When someone searches "plumber near me" or "guesthouse in Kempton Park", Google shows three businesses on a map before a single website appears. Those three spots are decided by your Google Business Profile, and the listing itself is free.
- Profile claimed, verified and set up in the right category
- Services, service areas, hours and real photos filled in properly
- A simple review routine so recent reviews keep coming in
- Profile and website matched, so Google trusts both
Illustration. Three businesses get the map. Your Google Business Profile decides whether you are one of them.
Your web partner in Joburg, not a call centre
You deal with the person who builds it
No account managers and no ticket queue. The person designing your website is the one who answers your WhatsApp, before launch and long after it.
Built to be found locally
Every page is written around what customers in your area actually search, and your Google Business Profile is set up to match, so the site brings in calls rather than just looking good.
Looked after in-house
Hosting, updates, backups and fixes stay with me. When something needs attention, you are not passed along to a third party you have never heard of.
How your website gets built
Four stages, no surprises. You approve each one before the next begins.

I learn your business, your goals and your customers, then plan a site that fits your industry rather than a template.
Design & layout
Visual layouts that reflect your brand, responsive across every device and built for engagement.
SEO & performance setup

Web design questions, answered
What makes your web design services in Johannesburg stand out?
You work directly with the person building your site. Every website is custom WordPress design shaped around the Johannesburg market, built to be fast, responsive and optimised for both people and search engines.
Do you use WordPress to build all your websites?
Mostly, yes. WordPress is flexible and easy for clients to manage themselves. Where a business needs raw speed more than an editor, I also hand-build static sites.
Are your websites SEO-friendly?
Every site is optimised from the ground up — structure, speed, headings and content — so it has a real chance of ranking rather than needing a rescue job six months later.
How long does a website take?
Most projects run one to three weeks depending on size and how quickly content comes through. Urgent builds can be arranged.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing my Google rankings?
Yes, and this matters more than most people realise. Existing URLs are preserved, and anything that must change gets a proper 301 redirect so the ranking follows it.
How do payments work?
A 50% deposit starts the project and the balance is due on launch. EFT, FNB eWallet and other common methods are accepted.
