// what we build
Three layers. One solid foundation.
Most businesses start with a website. The ones that grow need what sits beneath it. We design and build every layer, so they work as one.
-
01
Websites what your customers see
Brand-led sites that load fast, read clearly on every screen and turn visitors into enquiries.
-
02
Web apps what your team uses
Booking tools, dashboards and calculators: software that runs in the browser and does real work.
-
03
Portals & systems what runs the business
Secure logins for clients, residents or staff, with the admin tools and database to manage it all.
// featured client work
Built for real clients. Live and in use.

// why cornerstone
Built with you, not just for you.
Direct line to your developer
No account managers or middlemen. You speak to the person designing and building your site, from the first idea to launch.
Beyond the website
When your business needs more than a brochure, we build the systems behind it: portals, dashboards and custom tools.
Local and reachable
Based in Cape Town and a WhatsApp message away. Same time zone, quick replies and support after launch.
How long does a website take?
Most websites take 2–4 weeks from the moment we agree on the plan and your content is ready. Larger builds with custom features, like portals or dashboards, take longer — you'll get a clear timeline before we start.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is different, so every quote is tailored to what you actually need. After a quick chat about your goals, we'll send you a clear quote with no hidden costs.
Do I need to have my content ready?
Not at all. It helps to have your logo, photos and a rough idea of what you want to say, but we'll help you shape the structure and wording as we go.
Can you update my website after launch?
Yes. Our website support covers content and image updates, small changes and improvements as your business grows, so your site never goes stale.
Do you only build websites?
No. Beyond the public-facing website, we build the systems behind it — secure login areas, admin and maintenance portals, dashboards and custom forms.
