Website design in Botswana

Website design for organisations in Botswana

We design WordPress websites that explain clearly what you do and make the next step easy for visitors. Every design starts with discovery, not a template, and is tested on the phones your audience actually uses.

Overview

Website Design for organisations in Botswana.

Looking for website designers in Botswana often turns up portfolios of attractive homepages with little said about how the site will be edited, maintained or extended. We design with those questions answered from the start, because a design your team cannot update becomes a problem within months.

Our design work starts from $1,500 per project and is scoped in writing. We are based in Nigeria, one hour behind Botswana, and run design reviews as live calls so feedback is quick.

In detail

Website Design in Botswana, in detail.

01

Discovery before visuals

We begin by asking who visits your site and what they need to do there. A mining services firm in Francistown, a tourism operator in Maun and a professional body in Gaborone have very different visitors. We map the main journeys, agree a sitemap and decide what content each page needs before drawing a single screen. That order saves money, because changing a wireframe is cheaper than changing a finished build.

02

Designed for phones first

Many visitors will reach your site on a mobile connection, so we design the phone layout first and expand it for larger screens. We keep pages light, compress images, limit heavy animation and make buttons easy to tap. Forms are short. Contact details, opening hours and directions sit where people look for them, rather than buried in a footer. We check every template on a low-cost Android handset as well as a recent iPhone before sign-off.

03

Prices and payments shown clearly

If your site lists fees or products, we show them in pula with clear wording on what is included. Where you take payments, the design accounts for the provider you use, whether that is a card checkout through DPO Pay or an Orange Money option for registered merchants. Visitors should know how they can pay before they reach the final step.

04

Forms that respect the 2024 Act

Contact, enquiry and application forms collect personal data, which brings them under Botswana's Data Protection Act No. 18 of 2024. We design forms to ask only for what you need, explain why it is collected, and link to your privacy notice. Behind the scenes, we limit who can see submissions, which helps if you ever have to account for how data was handled.

05

A site your team can run

We build designs as reusable WordPress blocks and patterns, so your staff can add pages and news without breaking the layout. Before handover we train the people who will edit the site and leave a short written guide. If you later want new sections, we extend the same design system rather than bolting on something that looks different. That keeps the site coherent as it grows.

Our work

Platforms we have built.

These projects show our design approach on sites with real users and real transactions: a corporate redesign and a learning platform where layout had to support payments.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you design a site if our content is not ready?

Yes. We can start with structure and wireframes while your content is being written, and we will tell you exactly what each page needs. If you want help with copy, we discuss it during scoping. Designs come together faster when real content is available before the final visual stage.

Do you use templates?

We do not resell themes. We build a design for your organisation, using WordPress blocks so it stays easy to edit. Where a common pattern works well, such as a contact layout, we use it rather than reinventing it, but the overall design is yours.

How many design revisions are included?

The number of review rounds is set out in your written scope, and we agree it before work starts. In practice, discovery and wireframes reduce the need for many visual revisions, because the big decisions are settled early. We review designs with you on live calls to keep rounds focused.

Will the design work in Setswana as well as English?

WordPress supports more than one language. If you need pages in Setswana, we plan for it in the sitemap and choose a multilingual setup suited to your editors. Translation itself is usually provided by your team or a translator you trust.

What happens after the design is approved?

We build it in WordPress on a staging site, add your content, test it on phones and desktops, then launch it on your domain. If you choose managed services, we look after hosting, updates and security afterwards. Otherwise we hand over everything with training.
