Who we are
A digital agency that works with clients for many years.
CapeFrisco started in 2008. Our aim was to build websites that do useful work for the businesses that own them. We began with hand-built websites for Cape Town companies. We now also provide development, hosting, security and back-end business systems.
Today we manage around 200 websites for roughly 100 clients, from independent operators to established enterprises.
We keep the team small on purpose. When you work with us, you speak to the person who does the work. Your requests do not go through a ticket queue or an account manager. This is how we have kept clients for well over a decade.
We build fast sites and run them on reliable infrastructure.
