About the studio
One studio.One person who builds it.
McArthur Studio is run by Michael McArthur. When you work with us, the person you talk to is the person who designs, writes and hand-codes your website.
Why McArthur Studio exists.
Most businesses in South Africa get stuck choosing between a do-it-yourself template that looks like everyone else's and an agency quote that takes months and changes halfway through.
McArthur Studio was set up to be the third option: custom, hand-coded websites at published, fixed prices, with a free homepage concept before you pay anything and a launch date in writing.
Every site is designed around one job: turning visitors into calls, bookings and sales. It comes with a dashboard so you can change prices, hours and specials yourself, without waiting on a developer.
How Michael works.
No account managers and no hand-offs. Just the person building your site, in plain English.
Hand-coded, not templated
Every page is written from scratch for speed, security and a look nobody else has, with no page builders or bloated plugins.
Custom 3D in Blender
The scroll animations and product renders on this site were modelled and rendered in Blender, and client sites can have the same.
Built to be found
Technical and local SEO, structured data and fast mobile load times are part of every build, not an add-on.
