WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN

Faster WordPress websites that rank and convert better

A slow WordPress website doesn’t just frustrate visitors – it costs you rankings, leads, and revenue. Every second of load time increases bounce rate, suppresses conversions, and signals to Google that your site delivers a poor user experience. We fix all of it: server configuration, Core Web Vitals, image delivery, code efficiency, and caching – so your site performs at the level your business deserves.

If you only want a good-looking website, we're not the right fit

Anyone can build something that looks polished. If aesthetics are your only goal, cheaper options exist. What very few agencies understand is how to build a WordPress website that consistently converts visitors into paying clients. Most designers stop at the visual layer. We start with your data. We look at where visitors drop off, what stops them from converting, and what your competitors are doing wrong – then we build a site that addresses all of it before a single pixel is designed.

We’ve worked with businesses at 400,000+ monthly visitors and with companies just starting to scale. That range gives us a clear view of what actually works across industries and traffic levels.

Mobile-first responsive design

Optimised for every screen size - including the mobile visitors that make up most B2C traffic.

Core Web Vitals performance

Fast load times and strong CWV scores - because Google rewards speed, and so do your visitors.

The process behind every Kijo website

A strategic, data-driven approach broken into six key stages, ensuring every decision is backed by evidence, performance insights, and conversion-focused thinking.

01.

Full site audit.

We analyse your current UX, technical SEO, heatmaps, analytics, and conversion leaks before touching the design. We know exactly what to fix before we start.

02.

Quantitative data analysis

Analytics, scroll maps, and behaviour tracking reveal what visitors are doing – and where they leave. High-value pages get prioritised for maximum impact.

03.

User insight research

Polls, surveys, and session recordings tell us what motivates your customers and what stops them from converting. Real voices, not assumptions.

04.

Conversion-led design

We combine modern design with conversion psychology – building layouts that create trust, reduce friction, and move visitors toward action from the first scroll.

05.

CRO and SEO-driven build.

Every layout decision, heading, and CTA placement is informed by data. Nothing is arbitrary. Structure, speed, and on-page SEO are built in from the start.

06.

Post-launch optimisation

We don’t disappear after launch. We test, refine, and improve through CRO experiments, SEO enhancements, and analytics review over time.

Questions we get before every project

Projects start from R5,000 for a foundational site and scale based on the number of pages, integrations, CRO requirements, and SEO scope. Every project is quoted after a free discovery call, where we understand your goals and traffic.

Most projects are delivered in 4-8 weeks. Timeline depends on scope, the complexity of design requirements, and how quickly content is provided. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
