Absolutely! Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the straightforward process of incorporating relevant keywords and phrases related to the website’s content, ensuring its visibility in search engine results. SEO is crucial to being found by search engines like Google. Nowadays, search engines focus more on content that is unique, comprehensive, relevant, and helpful that overall improves the quality and user experience. We do not practice or recommend “Keyword stuffing”. This refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords in an attempt to manipulate a site’s ranking in Google search results. This practice is frowned upon and results in a negative user experience which can be detrimental to your website’s ranking.
DigiZen focuses on assisting you in creating relevant, unique and information-rich content that uses keywords appropriately and in context. Once your website has been created by us and the content is in place, we create a Sitemap. We then register your website on Google Search Console. This includes verifying your website with Google and submitting the sitemap. We also install Google Site Kit on all the websites we create. As this is vital to the performance of your website, this is considered best practice and is included in the cost of your website.  Find out more!

Most websites collect some form of customer or user data. Data collection from a website can come from: cookies, comments, email newsletters, contact forms and buyer’s personal details which include contact information and address details. In terms of the POPI Act, there are certain legal requirements that must be complied with and implemented so they are displayed on your website. These include a Privacy Policy/Statement, a Cookie Policy, a Cookie Notification Banner and the Opt-In clauses that are required to appear on the your website’s contact forms. As these are legal requirements, they are included in the cost of creating your website. Find out more about the POPI Act!

DigiZen utilises reCAPTCHA v3 on all our client’s websites. reCAPTCHA is a service that protects your site from spam and abusive traffic. User login pages and contact forms are particularly vulnerable. It uses advanced risk analysis techniques to tell humans and bots apart. ReCAPTCHA v3 doesn’t rely on users clicking check-boxes or picture challenges and is completely hidden from view. V3 collects and analyzes the interactions a user has with a site to create a score. The final score indicates whether the activity is suspicious. [Source] Find out more about Security Measures!

With pleasure! The scroll bar below allows you to visit some of the more diverse websites we’ve designed. Often, when assessing whether or not a designer is the right one to entrust your website design to, businesses will ask to see examples of websites we’ve designed within the same industry. There are indeed instances where specific industry knowledge is a valuable asset, but an experienced designer will give each client the benefit of an individual needs assessment and if necessary, research and familiarise themselves with the industry and any regulations that are industry specific. Our function as web designers is to create a unique website specifically for your business, regardless of the industry. A reputable designer will also not over promise and under deliver. He or she should give you an honest appraisal of your requirements, and if their skills do not match your needs, they should offer you alternative solutions. Another important factor is full transparency. Ensure that you are fully appraised of any costs for additional development that may need to be carried out to complete the project.
