Cape Town, from Casablanca
Why a remote studio works for Cape Town
Web design agency Cape Town buyers can hire without a flight: we design, build and launch your site from Casablanca and work in your hours. Cape Town is on South Africa Standard Time, UTC+2 all year. Casablanca is on UTC+1, so you are one hour ahead of us.
We are not a Cape Town office, and we say so on purpose. Take a 09:00 to 17:00 day in Cape Town. It is 08:00 to 16:00 in Casablanca, so seven of your eight hours overlap with our working day. During Ramadan, Morocco moves to UTC+0 and the overlap drops to six hours.
The clock helps with your guests too. Cape Town keeps the same time as Central European summer time, and runs one hour ahead of Central European winter time. London is one or two hours behind.
This page sits inside our web design for South African businesses, part of the South Africa hub.
Cape Town rules
What a Cape Town site has to get right
Visitors from abroad. A Cape Town guesthouse, tour operator or wine farm often sells to people in Europe, the UK and the US. Prices should show in the visitor’s currency, with rand as the base for your records. We check each payment provider’s currency and settlement options with you before the build.
If you market to people in the EU or UK, GDPR or UK GDPR may apply on top of POPIA. We build consent and privacy notices to cover both, and suggest a lawyer confirms them.
Tax and payments. VAT is 15 %. PayFast, Yoco and Peach Payments handle rand cards, and Ozow handles instant EFT. A site that takes foreign cards needs a gateway that supports them, so we ask the provider before we design the checkout.
Terms that guests read. Deposits, cancellation rules and house rules should be clear on the booking page. We write them into the layout, and you supply the wording.
What we build
Booking pages that sell to travellers and locals
A Cape Town business usually needs one of three things: a marketing site, an online shop or a booking flow. We design the pages on real screens, build them in Next.js and React, and add a Laravel back end when the site needs availability, deposits or a CRM.
- Booking and enquiry flows with deposits and clear terms
- Prices shown in several currencies, with rand as the base
- English first, with room for German or French versions
- A visual admin, so your team edits pages without a developer
Across the clocks
Your European customers, your team and ours in one window
In a European winter, Cape Town, Casablanca and London share a window from 11:00 to 17:00 your time. We hold design reviews inside it. If your customers write from Europe, they reach you while we are online to change the site.
- Design reviews live, in your working day
- A working preview link at every step
- Written updates between calls, so no decision is lost

FAQ
Questions from Cape Town buyers
What businesses in Cape Town ask before they book a call.
No. We work remotely from Casablanca and meet on video in your working day. If an in-person meeting matters most to you, a local studio is the better fit.
2
How does the time difference work with Cape Town?
Cape Town is one hour ahead of Casablanca all year, and two hours ahead during Ramadan. You get seven shared hours a day, or six in Ramadan, so calls fit any time from 10:00 to 17:00.
3
Can the site take bookings and deposits?
Yes, as custom work. We agree the availability rules and the deposit and cancellation terms with you, connect a payment gateway and test the flow before launch.
4
Can guests pay in euros, pounds or dollars?
It depends on the payment provider, so we check which currencies it accepts and how it settles to your account before we design the checkout. We show prices in several currencies when you want them.
5
Does GDPR apply to my Cape Town website?
POPIA applies to the personal data you collect in South Africa. If you market to people in the EU or UK, their rules may apply too. We build consent and privacy notices to cover both, and your lawyer should confirm what applies to you.
