Dezaina Media · Durban, South Africa
Brands and online stores, built properly.
We’re a design studio in Durban. We design brands and build e-Commerce stores for South African businesses that want to look the part – without paying the agency prices for it.

What we do
Three ways to work together.
We don’t do everything. No TV ads, no billboards, no “full-service marketing.” We design brands, we build online stores, and we look after them. That’s the list.
01 / Identity
Brands
Logos, colours, fonts – the whole look. For new businesses starting out, or older ones whose logo was made in Word by someone’s cousin in 2011.
From R4,500
Once-off
02 / Commerce
Online Stores
WooCommerce stores that load fast, take payments properly, and don’t fall over. We set it up, we show you how it works, you run it.
From R15,000

03 / Support
Monthly Care
We keep your site updated, your products loaded, and your design work sorted — every month, so you can get back to actually running your business.

Why us
Here's the "waar"
You’ve probably been burned before. The R500 logo guy who vanished. The agency that took four months and your whole budget. We get it. Here’s how we’re different.
Our prices are on the website.
Go look at other Durban agencies. Almost none of them show prices, it’s all “request a quote” and then a week of silence. Our prices are right there on this page. What you see is what you pay.
We'll tell you if you don't need us.
If your logo is fine and your real problem is your product photos, we’ll say so. We’d rather lose a sale than do work that doesn’t help you. That’s how you get referrals in this place.
No jargon, we promise.
You won’t hear “brand architecture” or “synergy” from us. We’ll tell you what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long it takes. In normal words. Like a person.
Small on purpose.
No account managers, no junior designers learning on your project, no telephone games. You talk to the people doing the work. Things get done quicker that way.
About the studio
A small studio with a simple idea.
Dezaina Media has been around since 2013. The idea has stayed the same the whole time: small businesses deserve proper design, at prices that make sense for a small business.Too many good businesses in this country look bad online. Not because the owners don’t care, but because the options are rubbish. It’s either a cheap logo from a stranger on the internet, or an agency quote that costs more than your bakkie.
“Your business is probably better than it looks online. That is what we fix.”
We stay small on purpose. Every project gets proper attention, you always know what’s happening, and nothing gets lost between departments… because there are no departments.
How it works
Four steps. No stress.
From first message to finished work. You’ll always know where things stand.
01
We chat
A quick call or WhatsApp about your business and what you need. Free, no pressure, no hour-long “discovery workshop.”
02
You get a price
A written quote. What you get, what it costs, when it’s done. If you’ve seen our pricing page, nothing will surprise you.
03
We do the work
You see progress as it happens and get your say along the way. No going quiet for three weeks.
04
You're sorted
Final files, training if you need it, and we stick around after launch in case something needs fixing.
Pricing
Clear prices. No haggling.
Every price, on the website, like it should be. Bigger projects get a written quote inside these ranges, so you know the ballpark before you even message us.
Quick start · From R2,000
Brand Audit
R2,000
We look at your brand and website, then tell you straight: what’s working, what’s broken, what to fix first. Written report in 3 working days.
1-Page Brand Starter
R4,500
A proper logo, colours, and fonts on one tidy brand sheet. For businesses just starting out. Done in 10 working days.
Landing Page
R5,500
One page that sells one thing well. Design, words, and a working form. Live in 7 to 10 working days.
Full projects · From R12,000
Brand Identity
R12,000 – R18,000
The full works: logo, colours, fonts, guidelines, and every file you’ll ever need. 3 to 4 weeks.
WooCommerce Store
R15,000 – R25,000
A complete online store. Products, payments, the lot + training so you can run it yourself. 4 to 6 weeks.
Brand + Store Launch
R25,000 – R35,000
Both together. For new businesses going online for the first time. 6 to 8 weeks, start to finish.
Monthly retainers · From R3,500/mo
Brand Care
R5,000 – R8,000/mo
Social media designs, marketing bits, and someone keeping your brand looking consistent month to month.
Store Care
R3,500 – R6,000/mo
Updates, new products loaded, backups, and fixes before they become problems. Your store, looked after.
Designer On Call
R4,000 – R7,500/mo
A bank of design hours each month, used however you need. Like having a designer on staff, without the salary.
One more thing: if you book a R2,000 Brand Audit and then take on any project over R10,000 with us within 60 days, we knock the R2,000 off. So the audit ends up costing you nothing. What you say?.
Ready when you are
