Everything your redesign needs,
handled end-to-end

From outdated layouts to poor UX, Brendan’s professional website redesign and UI design service covers every element that affects how users experience — and convert on — your site. As a dedicated UX UI web designer, every decision is grounded in user behaviour and business strategy.

Bespoke web design

No templates, no shortcuts. Every layout is built from scratch as bespoke web design around your brand, audience, and goals — making your site genuinely distinctive in the South African market.

UX optimisation & user experience design

As an experienced UX web designer, Brendan improves user experience at every touchpoint — restructuring flows, reducing friction, and guiding visitors toward action through strategic UI design for websites.

UI design for websites

Polished, accessible web interface design that looks credible and works intuitively — clean visual hierarchy, purposeful typography, and a UI your users will immediately understand.

SEO-ready website redesign

Technical SEO baked in from day one — fast load times, clean code, proper structure — so Google notices your redesigned site immediately and your organic rankings improve over time.

Custom website design & WordPress builds

Custom website designer work delivered on WordPress or your preferred CMS — giving you full control without needing a developer for every update.

Mobile-first responsive design

Over 70% of South African web traffic is mobile. Your redesigned site will perform beautifully — and convert — on every screen size and connection speed.

Figma web design & a proven design process

Brendan uses industry-standard tools — including Figma web design workflows — to prototype, validate, and refine your site before a single line of code is written. You see exactly what you’re getting before build begins.

Discovery & UX audit

We begin with in-depth UX research & audits to assess your current website’s user experience, identify UX friction points, review conversion rate analysis data, and define exactly what the redesign needs to achieve.

Strategy & structure

Using user journey mapping and wireframing, we create the sitemap, user flows, and content hierarchy — building the UX blueprint before any visual design work begins.

Figma design & UI prototype

High-fidelity Figma prototyping and custom UI design mockups are created and presented for feedback, allowing you to approve the full user experience before development starts.

Build & UX optimisation

Your website is developed using responsive HTML/CSS and a flexible WordPress CMS, with a strong focus on UX optimisation, Core Web Vitals optimisation, SEO performance, speed, accessibility, and conversion-focused functionality across all devices and browsers.

Launch & handover

We handle launch, testing, training, and post-launch support — ensuring your team can confidently manage the WordPress CMS from day one while maintaining performance, usability, and long-term scalability.

A freelance web designer who understands what makes South African businesses grow

Working with a freelance web designer means you get a single, senior point of contact from start to finish — not a rotating team of agency juniors. Brendan brings 25 years of experience in UI design for websites, UX optimisation, and custom website design to every project. As a freelance UX UI web designer, you work directly with Brendan throughout the entire process — from brief to launch — with no account managers, no handoffs, and no surprises.

UX strategy before aesthetics

Every design decision starts with improving user experience — not just making things look good. Form follows function, always.

South African context matters

Local connectivity, payment behaviour, and audience expectations are baked into every web interface design — not an afterthought.

Built to last

Scalable architecture, clean code, and training included — so you’re never dependent on a developer for everyday changes.

FAQS

Website redesign & UX design

What’s the difference between a UX web designer and a regular web designer?

A UX web designer — or UX UI web designer — focuses on the entire user experience: how people navigate your site, where they drop off, and how the layout guides them toward a goal. It goes beyond aesthetics to improve user experience in measurable ways. Brendan combines both disciplines: strong UI design for websites and deep UX optimisation expertise.

Why hire a freelance web designer instead of an agency?

A freelance web designer offers direct access to senior expertise without agency overheads. You get a custom website designer who is personally accountable for every decision — not a junior designer working from a brief they didn’t write. For most South African SMEs, this means better quality, faster communication, and more competitive pricing.

Do you use Figma for web design?

Yes — Figma web design is central to Brendan’s process. Every project includes high-fidelity Figma prototypes so you can see and approve the design — including all UI design for websites — before development begins. This eliminates costly rework and keeps the project on schedule.

How much does a professional website redesign cost in South Africa?

Website redesign services and bespoke web design are scoped per project. Most small-to-medium business redesigns range from R15,000 to R60,000 depending on scope, functionality, and the level of UX optimisation required. Contact Brendan for a tailored quote after a free audit of your current site.

Will my Google rankings be affected by a redesign?

A well-executed professional website redesign should improve your rankings over time. Brendan follows SEO best practices throughout — redirect mapping, structured data, Core Web Vitals — so your new site launches on solid technical ground.

Do you work with clients outside Cape Town?

Yes — Brendan works with businesses across South Africa. Most of the redesign process, including Figma design reviews and UX workshops, is handled remotely — making location no obstacle for clients in Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria, or anywhere nationwide.

We worked with WordPress Guys on the development for Asilia Africa, and it was a solid collaboration from start to finish. They were reliable, technically strong, and easy to work with, exactly what you’d want in a dev partner.
