Built properly.
Your site, rebuilt to load fast on a phone, look like you mean it, and get people to call. Fixed price, about three weeks, and you own all of it.
What a redesign gets you
Most small business sites lose people in the first few seconds. The fixes are not complicated, they just need doing carefully.
Works on a phone first
Most of your customers will find you on a phone, often on a slow connection. Pages are light, text is readable without zooming, and the number you want called is one tap away.
Says what you do, plainly
What you offer, where you work, what it costs or how to find out, and how to reach you, all above the fold. No stock-photo handshakes and no jargon.
Easy to find
Clean page structure, proper titles and your Google Business Profile brought in line with the new site, so searches for what you do in your area can actually find you.
Yours to keep
The domain, the hosting account and the content are in your name from day one. If we stop working together, nothing is held back.
How it works
See a concept
I build a private preview of your new site first, free. You look at it before you spend anything.
Agree a fixed price
A written quote with what is included. A 50% deposit starts the work. The price does not move.
Send your content
Photos and any wording changes. I move your existing text and prices across and tidy them. You get two rounds of changes.
Go live
You approve it, pay the balance, and the site goes live, typically about three weeks after the deposit.
Two packages, written down
There is no hourly billing and no surprise add-ons. Pick the package that fits, and if your site needs something unusual I quote that separately before any work starts.
Starter at R2 750 (normally R3 500 – R4 000), in exchange for a short testimonial once your site is live.
A clean, modern site for a business that needs the essentials done properly.

Need more than a website? I also build custom web and mobile apps — booking systems, quoting tools, customer portals — quoted individually after a short scoping conversation.
I'm Dane Summers.
SummerStack is my surname and the work: Summers, and a stack of things built carefully on top of each other. I build mobile apps, web apps and websites, and I start with websites for local businesses because most of them are held back by a site that was never finished properly.
When you write to this business, you are writing to me. I do the design and the build myself, and my name is on it.
Based in Randburg, South Africa
A few other things I've built
SummerStack isn't only websites. Here's some of the mobile apps and web apps I've built for other businesses.
BICIT
Public website for BICIT SA, the company behind an organisational training platform.
Done Without Asking
A study app that turns homework and revision into a game, with points, streaks and rewards, for school kids and their parents.
BICIT Training Portal
The online portal where BICIT's users sign in to their training.
TAKT
A simulation app that teaches lean manufacturing, built for BICIT SA's training.
FPL Gaffer
An assistant for Fantasy Premier League managers that projects player points and profiles rival teams.
Questions people ask
Why is the concept free?+
Because it is the fastest way to show you what I would do, and it costs me an afternoon. If you like it, we talk about a quote. If you do not, you owe nothing and I will not chase you.
What if I do not have a website yet?+
The same package applies. It takes slightly longer because the wording and photos are built from scratch, and I will tell you what I need from you.
Do I have to pay every month?+
No. You pay the quote, plus hosting and your domain renewal directly to those providers. Ongoing support is an option, not a condition.
Who owns the site afterwards?+
You do. The domain, the hosting account and all content are registered in your name, and I hand over everything you need to move it elsewhere.
Is this a registered company?+
SummerStack (Pty) Ltd's registration is in progress in South Africa. The registration number will be on every quote and invoice once it's through.
