Seventy-Nine Digital Agency (South Africa) – Website Development Project
Project Overview
Seventy-Nine, a fast-growing digital agency based in South Africa, needed a modern, functional, and brand-driven website to reflect their expertise in digital marketing, web design, and development. Their vision was to showcase their services and portfolio in a way that would resonate with businesses seeking innovative digital solutions.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Seventy-Nine team to design and develop their official website. The project emphasized clean design, seamless user experience, and responsive functionality, ensuring that the site not only represented their brand identity but also served as a strong lead-generation tool.
The end result was a visually appealing, responsive, and SEO-friendly website that highlights the agency’s capabilities, builds trust with potential clients, and strengthens their online presence in the competitive digital industry.

The project began with in-depth discussions with the Seventy-Nine team to understand their brand personality, values, and target audience. We analyzed competitor websites from both South African and international digital agencies to identify trends and opportunities for differentiation.
2. Wireframing & UI/UX Design
I created wireframes to map out page structures, ensuring content was organized logically. The design focused on minimalism, clarity, and modern aesthetics with bold typography, dynamic visuals, and interactive elements. The goal was to present information in a way that reflects creativity while keeping the user experience simple and efficient.
3. Responsive Front-End Development
The website was built with mobile-first responsiveness, ensuring compatibility across multiple devices and screen sizes. Fluid grids, flexible images, and adaptive layouts were implemented to deliver a smooth browsing experience.
