Mrala Enterprise is a multi-sector contractor. We designed its 18-page company profile and its website as one system, so a buyer who reads the profile and then opens the site meets the same company twice. For Troda, a safety and security supplier, we did the same with a new website and a 20-page company profile. It is the approach we take to all the web design Sandton firms commission from us.

We handle web design Sandton head offices and their suppliers can stand behind, with the company profile and tender documents designed to match.
Our Sandton office
Web design Sandton buyers check against your company profile
Your website and your company profile end up on the same procurement officer’s desk. So we design them together, to the same standard.
Every South African client works with this office. We design the site, the company profile and the documents that sit beside them, and quote for all of it in rand before work starts. The website is yours to test on a private link, on your own phone and data, before it goes live.

The business district
Who buys website design in Sandton?
Sandton is Johannesburg’s main business district, and its buyers expect a supplier to look the part. The JSE sits on Gwen Lane, Nedbank and Discovery run their head offices here, and banks, insurers, law firms and consultancies fill the towers around Rivonia Road, West Street and Katherine Street. Sandton was its own municipality until 2000, when it became part of the City of Johannesburg.
Those head offices also buy from smaller firms, many of them through enterprise and supplier development programmes that count towards their B-BBEE scorecards. A consultancy in Morningside, a facilities firm in Woodmead or a caterer after work at the Sandton Convention Centre needs the same polish on a smaller budget. For both groups, the web design Sandton procurement teams take seriously comes down to a few things:
- a site that agrees with the company profile on every fact
- your registration details, B-BBEE level and accreditations where a buyer expects them
- case studies with real names, photos and dates, used with permission
- fast pages on a phone, because buyers often check you between meetings
- a privacy notice that meets POPIA, since your forms collect personal information
That is web design Sandton buyers remember for the right reasons.
Vendor onboarding
What goes in a supplier pack for a Sandton buyer?
Before a large company or a government department pays you, it adds you to its supplier list, and that takes a pack of documents. Government buyers need you on National Treasury’s Central Supplier Database first. Your company profile does the selling in that pack, and the web design Sandton buyers check next has to agree with it.
- Company profileYour story, track record and leadership, designed for print and PDF.
- CSD numberYour Central Supplier Database number, which government quotes and tender forms ask for.
- B-BBEE certificate or affidavitAn EME, with turnover up to R10 million, can use a sworn affidavit, and so can a QSE that is at least 51% black-owned. Other firms need a certificate from a SANAS-accredited verification agency.
- Tax compliance PINA SARS tax compliance status PIN, so the buyer can confirm you are in good standing.
- CIPC documentsYour registration certificate from the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, showing your directors and company number.
- Bank confirmation letterA stamped bank letter confirming the account, so the first payment lands in the right place.

Around Sandton
Rosebank, Rivonia, Midrand and the rest of Johannesburg
Our Sandton office covers the web design Johannesburg firms need well beyond the business district. Each area nearby has its own mix of business, and the site has to fit it.
Rosebank
One Gautrain stop south
Offices, galleries and agencies around the Rosebank station. Sites here are judged on taste as much as on facts, so the design has to hold its own.
Rivonia
Office parks along the M9
Professional firms, IT companies and head offices along Rivonia Road. Buyers want proof: clients, accreditations and a clear list of services.
Kramerville
The design district
Furniture, décor and kitchen showrooms in a former light-industrial area. Their websites need large, fast images and an easy way to book a showroom visit.
Midrand
Between Johannesburg and Pretoria
Waterfall City, Vodacom’s head office and logistics firms along the N1. Firms here often sell to government in Pretoria and to companies in Sandton, so one site has to suit both.
Where to start
Should a Sandton firm start with the website or the profile?
It depends on who you are trying to win. If you tender, the profile usually comes first, and the web design Sandton buyers check comes straight after.
| Your goal | Start with | Then add |
|---|---|---|
| Bidding for a government tender | A tender-ready company profile | A website that repeats the same facts |
| Joining a corporate’s supplier list | Company profile and letterhead | The website, then email signatures |
| Selling to the public in Johannesburg | A fast website with clear prices or bookings | Social media graphics and print |
| Launching a new company | Logo and brand identity | A starter website and business cards |
| Exhibiting at the Sandton Convention Centre | Pull-up banners, brochures and business cards | A landing page for the show |
Not sure which fits? Tell us the goal, and the quote will set out the order we suggest.
How it works
Five steps from brief to a live .co.za site
The same five steps apply to a single landing page and to a full site with a tender pack. Each date is set back from your closing date, so the web design Sandton tender teams rely on never turns into a late-night rush.
- Brief. Send the goal, the deadline and any tender closing date by email or through the form.
- Quote. A fixed price in rand comes back with the scope, ready for you to accept or adjust.
- Design. The site design and the profile layout arrive at agreed points for your comments.
- Preview. A private link lets you test the site on your own phone and your own mobile data.
- Launch. The site goes live on your .co.za domain, registered in your name, with every file handed over.
A Rivonia start-up and a firm in Pretoria follow exactly the same steps. For everything a new site includes, see website design.
Offices
Our South African office, and the other two
Sandton is our South African office and covers the whole country, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to Durban and Cape Town. For work in Britain, Liverpool is the office to contact, and in America it is Pennsylvania. Prices come in rand here, pounds in the UK and dollars in the US, and the locations page shows all three.
Questions
Websites and profiles in Sandton: your questions
Question not here? Send it to us and we will answer it directly.
Ask a questionWhat is the quickest way to start web design in Sandton?
Send a short brief to hello@redfoxbranding.com or through the project form: the goal, the deadline and any existing logo or profile. If a tender closing date sets the deadline, say so, because it shapes the plan. A fixed quote in rand follows, free, with nothing to sign until you are ready.
Do you work across Johannesburg, or only in Sandton?
Every part of Johannesburg, and well beyond it. A client in Rosebank, Randburg, Fourways, Midrand or Pretoria deals with this office exactly as a Sandton client does, so the website design Johannesburg clients get from us is the same wherever they sit. Durban and Cape Town are just as easy, because the work runs online.
Can you design a company profile for a government tender?
Yes. We write and design the profile so it reads well in the tender pack and agrees with your CSD registration, CIPC documents and B-BBEE certificate or affidavit. Evaluators compare those documents, and a mismatch in a company name or a director list can cost you. See company profile design for a page-by-page outline.
Does my website need a POPIA privacy policy?
Yes, if it collects personal information, and almost every contact form does. POPIA expects you to tell people what you collect, why you collect it and who you share it with. A privacy page, linked from every form, comes as standard with the web design Sandton clients get from us. The wording of the policy is yours to approve, ideally with legal advice.
Can you make our site fast on mobile data?
Yes, and we treat it as a requirement. Many South Africans browse on prepaid data, so a heavy homepage costs your visitors money before it earns you anything. We compress every image, keep scripts to a minimum and check the pages on a phone before launch. That is the standard of web design Sandton clients should expect from any agency.
How are you different from other branding companies in Johannesburg?
We design the brand, the website and the company profile as one system, with one team and one fixed quote. When those come from three different suppliers, it shows the moment the documents sit side by side. With us, the same people answer for every part, from the logo to the last page of the tender pack.
Can you design print for an exhibition in Sandton?
Yes. We design pull-up banners, stand graphics, brochures and business cards for shows at the Sandton Convention Centre, and the files arrive print-ready, with bleed and CMYK colour, for any printer you choose. We size the artwork to the stand specifications the organiser sends you. A short landing page, built as part of the same web design Sandton job, keeps every lead in one place.
Should our B-BBEE level be on the website?
Yes, if you want buyers to find it, and many look for it. We add your level, the date of your certificate or affidavit and your other accreditations to a page that is easy to reach. Keep it current, because an expired certificate on a public page raises questions. The B-BBEE Commission has guidance on when an affidavit is enough.
Do you quote in rand?
Yes. A quote for website design Sandton firms ask for, or any other job, is fixed and in rand, with each line itemised, so you can trim or add before you accept. The price agreed for that scope is the price you pay, and it is all in writing before a single page is designed.
We supply a Sandton corporate. What will its procurement team look for online?
They look for a website that confirms what your supplier pack says. Expect them to check your services, your clients and projects, your B-BBEE level and how to reach you, often on a phone between meetings. An out-of-date site can undermine a strong profile, so we keep the web design Sandton corporates see in step with the pack.
Already have a profile you like?
Then the web design Sandton buyers see is built around it, using the same colours, type and facts, so the two agree. If the profile needs work too, we can refresh both together or start with whichever has the nearer deadline. The work page has examples of each.
Start web design Sandton buyers take seriously
Tell us what you are trying to win: a tender, a place on a supplier list or more customers. A fixed quote in rand comes back first, and you decide from there. The first step is a short email to hello@redfoxbranding.com or the project form, and the result is web design Sandton procurement teams remember.
