The studio

A smaller studio. More direct involvement.

You shouldn’t need three account managers to reach the person responsible for your website. Bernardi Media is founder-led, which means strategy and quality stay close to the project, while a growing studio structure provides the specialist support required to deliver the work properly.

You know who is responsible, who to speak to, and who remains accountable after launch.

Capabilities

What we help businesses build.

01

Web Design & Development

Custom websites planned around your goals, customers and content — from structure and messaging through design, development and launch.

02

E-commerce

Online stores designed to make products easy to understand, trust and buy — with the technical foundation to manage the store after launch.

03

Website Rebuilds

For businesses that have outgrown a website that no longer reflects the quality of the company behind it.

04

Care & Growth

Ongoing website support, maintenance and improvements after launch — so the site keeps working as the business evolves.

How we work

Clear from first conversation to launch.

Every project is different, but the process shouldn’t feel confusing. We keep the stages clear, the communication direct and the decisions focused on what the website needs to achieve.

01

Discover

We start by understanding your business, your customers and what the website needs to achieve. That shapes every decision after it.

02

Design

We shape the structure, messaging and visual direction before committing to the full build, so you see the thinking before the pixels.

03

Build

The approved direction becomes a responsive, fast and carefully finished website, with the integrations and functionality your business needs.

04

Launch & Support

After testing and launch we remain available for the updates, improvements and questions that come next. The website keeps evolving with you.

Client stories

Websites are projects. Relationships shouldn't be.

Many of our clients continue working with Bernardi Media after launch, whether for support, improvements or entirely new projects. Some are on their third website with the studio.

“Bernardi Media has built three websites for us so far, and every project has been professional and exceeded our expectations. They don't just deliver — they add valuable input and clearly understand how to optimise websites to work better. The service has been reliable and personal from start to finish.”

Luis Rocha · Owner, Elesure

“We've partnered with Bernardi Media for three years, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Angelo's responsive, detail-driven care lets us relax knowing our site is in expert hands.”

Pieter Scheepers · General Manager, Toureiro House of Prawns

“He really puts in so much time and effort into all designs, but even more into his clients and what their needs are. He also made the whole process so easy.”

Roaldt Wannenburg · Owner, Inyati Africa Safaris

Investment

Built around the project. Priced with clarity.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does a website cost?

Custom website projects start from R10,000. Most business websites land between R10,000 and R25,000 depending on the number of pages, the content involved and any functionality such as bookings or integrations. Online stores start higher because of the product, payment and shipping work involved. Every project receives a fixed, written quote before we begin.

Most business websites take three to six weeks from the point we have your content in hand. Larger builds and online stores typically run six to ten weeks. The timeline usually depends on how quickly text, images and product information come together, so we tell you exactly what we need up front.

Yes. The studio is based in Pretoria and we enjoy meeting local clients in person, but most of the work happens over video calls, email and WhatsApp. We work with businesses across South Africa and with international clients where the fit is right.

Yes. Website rebuilds are a core part of what we do. We audit the current site, keep what is working, including the search rankings you have already earned, and rebuild the structure, design and content properly.

We stay involved. Every launch includes a handover walkthrough, and our Care & Growth plans cover hosting, updates, backups, security and ongoing improvements. Many of our clients have worked with us across several years and multiple projects.

Yes. Websites are built on WordPress with content you can edit, and you receive a walkthrough at handover. If you would rather the studio handled changes, that is what the care plan is for.
