Just getting started
GRHM is new. No agency, no sales team, no logo wall — just a growing set of spec builds and the person who made them. That's the honest version.

Websites that win you work.
I'm Graham — a web designer and developer working out of Cape Town. I build fast, considered websites for small businesses that are tired of looking smaller than they are.

being asked.
These aren't clients — they're real Cape Town businesses I built sites for unprompted, to show what I'd do. Every one is live code you can open, scroll and resize. Each carries a small preview label, because nothing here is claiming a signature.
130 of these.
One per business, every one a different palette, typeface and layout — not a template recoloured.

Not yet live for the businesses themselves — they're proposals, waiting on a yes. If one of them is yours, it's already built; you're only paying for the launch. Ask about yours.
03 The studio
New studio.
New studio.
No theatre.
One person, a handful of builds, and no logo wall — because I'd rather earn one of those than illustrate it. What you can check right now is how I work and what it costs.
No overhead, lower prices
No office, no sales team, no junior to bill for. The money goes into the build, which is how a one-pager lands at R7 900 and a business site at R17 500.
One pair of hands
Every call, every revision, every line of code is mine. Nothing gets handed to someone you've never met halfway through the project.
Boring where it matters
Fixed scope, fixed price, a written start date, a staging link every week. The design is where the interesting things happen; everything else is deliberately uneventful.
What that means in practice: fewer projects at a time, so yours isn't one of twenty. Prices an agency can't match, because nothing is being marked up. And terms written down before work starts, so neither of us is guessing.

05 How it's built
Engineered,
Engineered,
not decorated.
Every site is hand-written — no page builders, no fifty plugins fighting each other. That's why they load in under a second and still look like this.

1 week
04
Build
Weekly preview links on staging. You watch it come together as it's made.
1–3 weeks
05
Launch
DNS, redirects, analytics, sitemap — then 30 days of free aftercare.
Day one
07 In writing
No testimonials.
No testimonials.
Terms instead.
You've just met me, so words from strangers would mean very little anyway. Here's what goes into the quote instead — tick each one off when the site goes live.
Fixed price
The number on the quote is the number on the invoice. No hourly creep, no surprise line items halfway through.
Start date
You get a day, not “soon”. It's written down before you pay anything at all.
Weekly preview
A staging link, updated as it's built. You watch it happen instead of waiting in the dark for three weeks.
30 days aftercare
Bugs and small changes in the first month after launch are on me, on every plan.
Yours on launch
On once-off and buy-out: code, repository, domain and hosting in your name. Nothing held hostage.
A reply in a day
Within 24 hours — including when the answer is that I'm not the right fit for the job.

The things
The things
everyone asks.
Still unsure? Send an email — I answer within a day, even if the answer is "not the right fit".
grahammitchell044@gmail.comLanding pages run 1–2 weeks. A full business site is 3–4 weeks, and custom builds 4–6. The clock starts when I have your content and the deposit — not before.
A 30-minute call, your existing brand assets if any, and honest feedback at the two review points. That's genuinely it. I'll chase anything else.
Yes. Every package includes copy polish, and the landing page tier includes full copywriting. Most sites fail on words, not layout — so I don't treat it as an afterthought.
On the once-off and buy-out options, you do — code, domain and hosting account in your name from day one. On the monthly plan the code stays with me while you're renting; buy it out at any point and it transfers to you.
Yes — that's the "buy it outright" column. One payment and the whole thing is yours: source files, repository, design files and the domain. Nothing monthly afterwards, and no licence fees. If you'd rather spread the cost, the monthly plan gets you the same build with nothing upfront, but the code stays mine until you buy it out.
Privately, and directly. There's no checkout on this site — you enquire, I send a written quote, and once you're happy I invoice you. Standard terms are 50% to start and 50% on launch, by EFT. No card details ever touch a website.
Thirty days of free aftercare covers bugs and small tweaks. After that, you can take it in-house with the handover docs, or take a retainer from $160/month for updates and monitoring.
Mostly, yes. I'm in Cape Town (SAST) and work with clients across Europe, the UK and the US. I keep two call slots open each morning for northern-hemisphere time zones.
