Built to uplift
women in business
The Girlies is a women-led design studio in Johannesburg, but we are building more than a studio. We are building a movement. Our goal is to empower women-led brands through unique, collaborative, human-crafted design.
Collaborative. strategic.
intentional.
During our time in the industry, we have seen too many incredible women with powerful ideas being held back by inconsistent and generic branding or outdated websites. It became our mission to personally address the issues women-led businesses were facing and thus The Girlies was created. Our aim as a women-led design studio is to bridge the gap between women-led businesses and the strong, unique, and strategic digital presence they deserve. We have built our brand on four key pillars:
Empowerment
We focus on uplifting women-led businesses by helping them reach their full potential.
Collaboration
We’re your partner in design, and we will do everything we can to bring your vision to life.
Craftsmanship
We take our time to craft unique, human-centered designs and websites, no AI slop here.
Accessibility
We believe in flexible pricing and scalable solutions for all business sizes and needs.
You're not just a
client.
You're family
We specialise in tailored, and strategic brand identity design and website development that will help your business build credibility, assist in attracting the right audience, converting visitors into clients and giving you the ability to scale with confidence.
High-quality and unique designs take time and our core belief is quality over quantity. Our guarantee to our clients is that we will give every client the same care, attention, and familiarity when creating their brand and developing their websites. While AI is currently dominating every industry, we can assure you that we are real people and we will always craft individual concepts for each business because no business is like another. We do not believe in using AI to create our designs, we take our time with each and every concept to create designs that truly reflect our clients' needs.
why work with a women-led
design studio?
Because you should not have to explain your business twice. As a women-led design studio, we know what it takes to build something from the ground up, to wear every hat at once and to be taken seriously while you do it. That shapes how we work. We listen first, we ask good questions and we design for the business you are actually building, not a template of it.
t also shapes how we price. We offer women-led SMEs a 20 to 30% discount on all our packages, because strong branding and a professional website should not sit behind a budget barrier.
Every project follows the same four steps: discovery, concept, refinement and delivery. We start by getting to know your business, your audience and your goals, build a creative direction around them, refine it with your feedback and hand over clean files with clear guidance. We work fully remotely, so wherever you are in South Africa, we can start the conversation today.
We're ready
to bring your
vision to life
