for women

We are a Johannesburg studio offering branding and website design for women-led businesses and SMEs across South Africa. We turn your ideas into powerful, meaningful brands and high-performing websites that grow with your business

We are

the ultimate

girl's girl

We are a women-led creative studio built on collaboration, creativity, and empowerment. We began this journey to give women entrepreneurs the opportunity to confidently show up online with a unique brand and website that truly reflects the purpose, values, and goals of their business.

We take our time to understand your business, your vision, your audience, and your goals. From there we craft a brand and website that encompasses your essence and supports your growth. We work with all start-ups, growing businesses, and established brands with a special focus on women-led SMEs and businesses.

Meaningful

design and

digital experiences

Here at The Girlies we will help you build a brand that looks like you, and a website that works for you. We focus on crafting and developing brand identities and websites tailored to your goals, industry, and stage of growth that looks unique and professional. Whether you’re a small start-up starting from scratch or an established brand looking to upgrade, we will meet you where you are. We have four core services:

Branding

A brand identity is more than just a logo, it’s your business’s unique voice and authentic identity that allows your brand to stand out.

Website Design

Your website is an extension to your brand’s voice and it is often one of the most important impressions customers have of your brand.

domain & hosting

It is essential to establish an online presence by registering your business’s domain. This also allows you to have a professional email address.

Support

We manage website updates, performance optimisation, and hosting maintenance through our support plans so that you don’t have to.

We are not
just designers,

we are your partner in design.

We offer flexible, tiered packages that make it easy to get exactly what you need. From a small starter brand to a full-scale website and everything in between, we’ll meet you where you are to help you scale with confidence.

We believe that access to beautiful and meaningful design shouldn’t be a barrier to success which is why we offer women-led SMEs and business a 20-30% discount on all packages as part of our mission to support and uplift women in business.

We keep the

process simple

From our first conversation to the final delivery, we keep things clear, collaborative, and completely tailored to you. All of our branding and website design projects follow a clear, considered process, so you always know where you are, what comes next, and that your vision is in good hands. Brand identity projects normally take 2 to 4 weeks, websites 6 to 8 weeks and a combined project 8 to 10 weeks, depending on scope.

Discovery

We start by getting to know YOU - your business, your audience, your goals, and your vision. The more we know and understand you, the better we can create for you.

Concept

Using everything we have learned, we craft a considered creative direction built specifically around your brand. Every design decision we make has a reason behind it.

Refinement

This is where we collaborate. You share your feedback, we refine the work, and together we shape it into something that feels exactly right for YOU.

Delivery

Once you are completely happy, we package everything up and hand it over - clean files, clear guidance, and everything you need to show up with confidence.
