Durban · KwaZulu-Natal
ROQ-TECH is a web studio based in Durban. We design and build custom websites, online stores and software for companies across KwaZulu-Natal and the rest of the country. If you’re local, we’ll meet you in person; if you’re not, the same build runs over calls.
01
We work from Durban and build for anywhere. The portfolio below is live right now — a foundation, an online store, an architecture practice — and none of it started from a theme. Local clients get a face across the table; everyone else gets the same site over calls.
Same studio. No shared theme.
02
Every page is pre-rendered before the visitor arrives, so nothing waits for a server. Our own homepage scores 99/100 on Google's desktop PageSpeed test, and client builds ship against the same targets. Run the test yourself — it's public.

Content lives in WordPress, in the admin your staff already know. The public site is a separate hand-built frontend, so an editor can change every word and image and still can't break the layout.

What we build
Said plainly
Plenty of agencies will sell you a template with your logo on it, and for some businesses that’s honestly enough. We’re the other kind. Every site here is designed from a blank page and built by hand, which takes longer and costs more — the trade is a site nobody else has, and speed you can verify on Google’s own test.
Proof
We learn your business, your customers and your content before anything gets designed.
Every page designed and built by hand — you watch it take shape on a live link.
We load your words and photos, then show your team how easy it is to change them.
Live and visible on Google — revised until you sign it off at 100%.

In person across greater Durban — uMhlanga, Westville, Pinetown, Ballito, Pietermaritzburg — and remotely for Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and beyond. The studio answers on +27 71 964 0399, on WhatsApp, and replies to email within one working day.
Questions
Q·01
No. The studio is based in Durban and we meet local clients in person, but the process runs just as well over calls — our clients and our own products operate countrywide.
Q·02
If you're in or around Durban — uMhlanga to Pinetown, up the coast to Ballito, inland to Pietermaritzburg — yes, we'll come to you. Everyone else gets the same build over video calls, with the work-in-progress on a live link the whole way.
Q·03
We scope each build. After discovery you get a fixed number and a timeline in writing — and if the fit isn't right, we say so early.
Q·04
For some businesses a template is honestly enough, and it costs less. We're for the ones where the site has to sell: designed from a blank page, built by hand, and measurably fast on the phones your customers actually use.
