About the studio
A Durban studio that builds websites to last.
New Creation Studio designs and builds websites for local businesses, brands, start-ups and causes. It's small on purpose: the person you talk to is the person who builds your site.
Who you'll work with
You'll work with Luke.
New Creation Studio is run by Luke, a web designer and developer in Durban. You deal with the person who builds your site, from the first conversation to launch day, and long after it.
Luke's story, in his own words: how he started, and what he cares about in the work.
What we hold to
Built properly, built to last.
Built by hand
No page builders and no templates. Every site is designed and coded for the business it belongs to.
Quick on any phone
Pages are kept light and served from Cloudflare's network, so they open quickly on the phones most people use.
Ready for search
Every site goes out with what search engines need: clear titles, structured data, a sitemap and fast pages. SEO work beyond that is a service of its own.
Agreed in writing
We agree the pages, the price and the timeline in writing before work starts, so nobody is surprised later.
Yours once it's paid
When the final invoice is paid, the design, the content and the page layouts are yours, and you get your logins and files at launch.
Looked after
Anything that stops the site working as agreed is fixed free for 30 days after launch. After that, a care plan keeps it updated and backed up.
Our mark
Why a rose window.
Our mark is a rose window, set out the way masons drew them: with a compass and a few circles, each line found from the ones before it. Windows like it have stood for centuries because the people who made them cared how they were made. That's the standard we hold our work to.
Who we work with
Businesses, brands and causes.
Local businesses
Trades, practices and services that need to be found nearby and trusted at first sight.
Brands and shops
Labels and shops that need to look like themselves, and sell online.
Creatives and start-ups
New work and new ideas that need a site that can grow with them.
Non-profits and churches
Causes that need to tell their story clearly and make giving easy.
