SterlingDesign

SterlingDesign is an independent web studio that builds custom websites from scratch in PHP and MySQL, with no WordPress, no page builders and no plugin stacks. The result is a smaller footprint, faster loading and fewer places to break.

We work with small businesses worldwide that need a site that looks trustworthy, loads quickly, ranks well and is simple to run. Every build includes an admin dashboard so owners can update their own content, plus clean SEO-friendly URLs, meta controls, sitemaps and captcha-protected contact forms.

For service businesses, we build quote-to-invoice workflows: customers request a quote step by step, the owner prices it in the dashboard, sends a PDF quote, then issues an invoice with an online payment link. Our live client W&J ECU Repair Centre uses this flow with PayFast invoice payments. For community and media organisations, we've delivered a full platform for Kolskoot Radio with live streaming, schedules, presenter profiles, interviews, galleries and member classifieds.

We also offer hosting, maintenance and updates. Our sites include a backup-and-rollback maintenance system, so every change is backed up first and can be reverted.

SterlingDesign is based in South Africa and works remotely across time zones. We use modern AI-assisted tools to deliver faster, and every line of code is reviewed and tested before launch. Clients own the code they pay for.
