Creative Rush

Website builders working from Durban

Creative Rush is a web development and digital marketing business based in Durban, South Africa. It says it has operated since 2012 and specialises in corporate and professional websites. It also markets itself to businesses in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Each project gets a dedicated web designer, and the firm says its team of digital marketers helps clients build a web presence that brings in new enquiries.

Who the sites are built for

The company describes two main groups. Start-ups in Durban that need a first site, and small and medium businesses whose existing site is old, not mobile friendly or faulty. It compares such a site to a poorly made business card, and offers to restructure the online presence and provide a marketing roadmap aimed at more sales. The sites are said to follow Google's recommendations, to be search friendly and to give a good user experience. It also stresses that every site is fully mobile responsive.

Services beyond the build

• Online stores: a turnkey shop set-up for businesses that sell products or services and need to collect payments
• Search engine optimisation: methods the firm calls white hat, intended to make a site easy to find
• Logos and graphics: logo design, plus stationery, business cards and print jobs
• Social media advertising: Facebook and Instagram campaigns that the team measures, manages and tunes
• Video and animation: presentations, explainer videos, animated commercials and animated logos
• Online reputation work: removal of unwanted content that could harm a name or brand
• Maintenance and support: continuing care after launch, as the firm treats a website as ongoing work

Method and approach

The agency lays out a four step approach: project study and analysis, website design, website creation and website maintenance. The team describes itself as full stack, able to plan, design, develop and deploy a project. It calls its pricing affordable without lower quality, and says that in eleven years of trading it has seen many Durban agencies appear and disappear while its own method and experience let it grow. It presents the relationship with clients as a lasting partnership.
