You aren't boring, so why should your website be?

I design and build websites for small businesses and creatives who want to stand out, bring in more enquiries and look as good online as their work does.

Each site is designed from scratch around the business it's for. No templates.

Makeup and hair artist

Stellenbosch, Cape Town and the Garden Route

An elegant, editorial home for bridal work, portfolio, services and bookings, with Eva's signature front and centre.

  1. The brief

    Eva works two ways: she travels to clients for bridal and occasion makeup and hair, and does brows and lashes from a studio in Stellenbosch. She needed one site that explains both clearly and gets brides to book before their date is taken.

  2. What I built

    A magazine-style site built around her signature, with a page for each service, links to her Instagram and TikTok, and a booking page where clients secure their date with a deposit.

  3. The result

    Brides can see her work, find the right service and reserve their date with a deposit in one visit, on a site that looks as polished as her work.

What I do

I handle your site myself, from the first sketch to launch day and after. Not sure what you need? The first call is free.

Hi, I'm Anja

Anja van Staden, UI/UX designer & software engineer

Alist is just me, on purpose. You work directly with the person designing and building your site, with no hand-offs and no account managers.

I design interfaces people enjoy and build the software behind them, so nothing gets lost between how your site looks and how it works. Every site starts with your business, your customers and what makes you different, never a template.

I'm finishing a degree in Computer Science and Operations Research at Stellenbosch University, so the code under your site gets as much care as the design on top. I grew up by the sea in Mossel Bay, on the Garden Route.

Good questions

Anything else? Ask me, there's no such thing as a silly one.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Your site, your content and your domain are yours. If you ever want to move on, I'll hand everything over.

Can I update it myself?

Yes. At launch I'll show you how to change your text, photos and prices. If you'd rather not, the care plan covers small changes.

What do you need from me?

Your logo if you have one, photos of your work, and a rough idea of what you want to say. It doesn't need to be polished. I'll help you shape the words.

What about my domain and email?

If you don't have a domain yet, I'll help you choose one and register it in your name. I can also set up a professional address like hello@yourbusiness.co.za.

What are the ongoing costs?

Your domain, which is usually a few hundred rand a year, and the monthly care plan if you want it, which covers hosting, updates and small changes. No hidden fees.

Got a site
in mind?

Tell me a little about your business and I'll reply within one working day. The first call is always free.
