We build the site and shoot the story.
T&Y Website Engineers is a small Cape Town studio with an unusual habit: we don't just code your website, we photograph and film the business that goes on it.
Most websites for small businesses look the same because they're built the same way: a template, a handful of stock photos, and hope. We started T&Y because local businesses deserve better than that.
The name is simple. T and Y, two people who between them cover both halves of a great website: the engineering that makes it fast and reliable, and the camera work that makes it look like somewhere you'd actually want to buy from.
So every build comes with a shoot. We come to you, photograph your products, film the details that make your business yours, and then engineer a site around that real media. The result doesn't look like a template, because it isn't one.
We're proudly based in Cape Town and work with businesses right across South Africa, from first-time landing pages to full Shopify stores.
Four things we don't compromise on.
Speed
Sites that load fast and feel instant. Slow websites lose customers, so we engineer for performance from the first line of code.
Real media
No stock libraries. We shoot your actual products and space so the site looks unmistakably like your business.
Honesty
Clear prices, plain language and no surprise invoices. You'll always know what you're paying and what you're getting.
Ownership
You own your site outright when we hand it over. No lock-in, no holding your business hostage.
Let's make yours the exception.
Tell us about your business and we'll show you what a site built around real media can do.
