Our Story

The web, working for you
since 2008.

Cape Frisco is a Cape Town digital agency. For more than 17 years we've designed, developed, hosted and secured the web presence of the businesses that depend on it — and you talk directly to the developer doing the work.

Who We Are

A digital partner built for the long term.

Cape Frisco started in 2008 with a straightforward idea: the web should work for the business, not the other way around. What began as hand-crafted websites for Cape Town companies grew into a complete digital partner — development, hosting, security, and the systems that quietly run behind the scenes.

Today we look after around 200 websites for roughly 100 clients, from independent operators to established enterprises.

We're small on purpose. When you work with us, you reach the person actually doing the work — no ticket queues, no account-manager relay. That's how we've kept clients for well over a decade.

“
Fast sites, solid infrastructure, and a real person who answers when you call. That's the whole business.

Security-first

SSL, firewalls, malware scanning and automated backups on everything we run.
