Hi, I’m Tiaan! I’m a web designer & developer based in Cape Town, South Africa.
Web Designer and Developer with 1.5 years of experience creating and deploying websites in an agency environment.
Experienced in managing web design and development projects from start to finish, collecting onboarding data from clients, designing sites in Figma, building sites using WordPress as well as additional HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and finally deploying and launching sites that are high-converting, mobile responsive, user-friendly, and support business growth. Proactive, entrepreneurial, and comfortable working in fast-paced environments.
Portfolio
Featured Work:
Every featured site designed, developed, and deployed exclusively by me.
regencyfn.co.za
I built this site for an international film studio producing branded documentaries for major companies (McDonald’s, Engen, Old Mutual, and others) distributed across 100+ TV networks in 39 countries.
The content-heavy WordPress site is structured around trust signals – client testimonials, key performance metrics, and relevant media partner logos – and the site is designed to convert enterprise decision-makers rather than regular consumers.
savannah-aircraft.co.za
I built this site for a bush aircraft manufacturer serving conservation, anti-poaching, agriculture, and flight-training markets.
The standout feature is a custom aircraft configurator – a tool where buyers can select aircraft options and receive a quote accordingly, effectively acting as a lead qualification/sales-cycle reducing workflow built into a WordPress site.
Also includes comparison modules (aircraft vs. drones vs. ground patrol) and integration with Monday.com.
vsbservice.co.za
I built this site for a 20-year-old high-rise maintenance and facade restoration contractor, built around their flagship case study: the full facade restoration of Cape Town’s Canal Walk.
The site is structured to build trust for a services business where safety and documentation matters most through a dedicated case study page with concrete metrics, a services breakdown, and a “what sets us apart” trust-signal section.

Work In Progress:
QuenchIQ (WIP)
I’m building this WooCommerce store for a premium water brand, designed around positioning the business’ water as the premium option in the very commodified, competitive water indstry.
The site includes multiple product tiers with differentiated messaging for each, plus sustainability/value sections (responsible extraction, recyclable packaging, carbon-neutral claims) aimed at creating a premium brand image.
Trailblaze Roasters (WIP)
I’m building this WooCommerce store for a coffee roastery with an adventure/outdoor brand identity (“coffee for people who don’t sit still”).
The site’s centerpiece is an interactive 5-question roast quiz that recommends a specific blend based on the user’s habits and taste preference, then drives them to add it straight to their cart – acting as a lightweight product-recommendation engine designed to generate sales and support the rest of their marketing efforts (through “take our online roast quiz” campaigns).
Also includes a full product catalog (light/dark roast blends), storytelling sections (origin story, sourcing ethics), and trust badges (roasted-to-order, 48hr shipping, 30-day guarantee).
EnableME2 (WIP)
I’m building this site for an NGO delivering a service I am passionate about: a 10-week financial literacy and entrepreneurship programme designed to turn South African learners into business owners (run in collaboration with the Department of Basic Education), reaching 102,000 learners across 116 schools.
Structured around a clear conversion journey – the hard problem (financial literacy without opportunity is incomplete), the solution (literacy + hands-on micro-enterprise: vegetable gardens, phone-charging services, baking businesses), and measurable impact – aimed at converting corporate donors into providing R85-per-learner sponsorships.
