Custom Web Development & Maintenance
We design websites with style and purpose. All our years of experience goes into each one of our projects. We are specialists in Web Development, Mobile Marketing, eCommerce, Social Media and Search Marketing & Optimisation.
We offer hands on training, meaning with all our courses you actually build a complete website, mobile app, ecommerce platform, blog, or whatever your course entails. You also optimise and market it and upload everything to the internet with domain and hosting. It is full on practical training.
Our Web and Graphic Design courses in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal are aimed at teaching you the techniques that matter most in creating successful websites and graphics. We teach you the latest technologies and the best ways to implement them in all scenarios. All our courses will be practical, step-by-step instructions making it easy to understand as well as creating something while you learn.
On completion you will receive a certificate but most importantly also have the knowledge of the latest in the industry. Our course material is certified and our tutors share their 13 years experience that can not be found in any book. We also assist you in job placements and keep you in the loop with local and international digital design positions.
The web designing world is in a very exciting stage at the moment with HTML5, CSS3, Design for mobile devices and Social Media Marketing being very popular, almost re-creating that buzz that web design was a few years ago. Now is a great time to get into web design, and the best way to study these subjects is through our PRACTICAL, face to face & outcomes based classes.
Where other training institutes focus mainly on teaching you the applications, we focus more on the actual techniques. We do however teach you everything you need to know on how to design with a variety of applications, preparing you for working in the web design industry. Our classes will be no more than 8 students at a time so you get personal attention all the way through the course.

We have no special pre-requisites in order to attend our academy. You don’t even need to have matric.
All you need to know is how to use a computer, we teach you the rest.
After attending our courses you are able to design amazing websites – make your course money back with only 1 website.
Everything after that is generating extra income.

Attending short courses in the web industry is far better than attending a 3 year degree.
