Website Man journal
Three live rebuilds from the Website Man work page. What each site got, why it matters, and the link to open every one yourself. Last updated: September 2026 · by the Website Man team
Three rebuilds
Every row below links to the real site. Nothing staged.
A Website Man redesign keeps your words and photos but rebuilds the path to enquiry: one clear sentence at the top, fast phone loading, and a WhatsApp button that stays in reach. Below are three live rebuilds with what was wrong, what changed, and the link to open each one yourself.
| Rebuild | What changed | Open live |
|---|---|---|
| House of Habachi, sneaker and streetwear | Full landing page with product carousel, brand filter, WhatsApp sales, and a Sanity CMS the owner can update | houseofhibachi.co.za |
| Shelbi Winkler Sport Shop, sporting goods ecommerce | Full store with 544 products moved across, plus cart, checkout, accounts, and an admin dashboard | shelbiwinklersport.co.za |
| Beacon Media Co., LED billboard trailer in Durban | Live page for a KZN coast service business with the offer, the area, and the enquiry path on one page | View the site |
The full list of twelve 2026 builds lives on the Website Man work page. Every link there opens the real site.
Before and after
Before means the pattern these rebuilds answer. After means what the live site now does.
Before, the pattern: a shop whose range lives only in scattered posts, so customers ask basic questions one by one and orders stall in long threads. After: a full landing page with a product carousel, a brand filter covering Nike, Adidas, Asics, and RedBull, WhatsApp sales, and a Sanity CMS the owner can update. Pure CSS, WhatsApp first.
Before, the pattern: hundreds of products with no cart, so every sale needs a message and stock answers take all day. After: a full store with 544 products moved across, plus cart, checkout, customer accounts, and an admin dashboard. Built with Next.js, Firebase, and Yoco.
Before, the pattern: a service business with no page showing the rig and the area it serves, so every quote starts from zero. After: a live page for an LED billboard trailer business on the Durban KZN coast, with the offer, the area, and one clear enquiry on a single page.
The pattern across all three: first, one sentence that says what the business does. Second, a mobile trust path that opens fast and reads clearly on a phone. Third, one clear enquiry repeated everywhere, usually WhatsApp. Those three ship with every Website Man build no matter the size. See the services or start your own rebuild.
Questions
The path to enquiry, not just the paint. One clear sentence at the top, fast loading on a phone, and a WhatsApp button that stays in reach. Your words, photos, and domain carry over, and you approve the preview before you pay.
Yes. Every rebuild below links to the live site, and the full list lives on the Website Man work page. No mockups and no screenshots stand in for the real page.
A buried contact button, slow phone loading, and pages that say everything except what the business does. Each rebuild answers those three first, then keeps the design simple so the enquiry stays obvious.
A landing page rebuild starts from R4,000 with one revision round, an animated page from R6,000, and a full website from R10,000 with two revision rounds. An online store starts from R15,000. Your exact price is quoted upfront.
