About Proxi

We help local businesses win online.

We build beautiful, affordable websites for three kinds of South African business: tradesmen (plumbers, electricians, solar installers and builders), artisans (knife-makers, potters, artists and craftspeople), and professionals (bookkeepers, physiotherapists, accountants).

They all have one thing in common: they're brilliant at what they do, but the modern world of websites, Google and AI has left them behind. Proxi fixes that — quickly, affordably and properly.

Why I started Proxi

I've built hundreds of websites over the years. Most didn't work. Then one did — a real estate site I built for my own property investing business. Today it generates leads on autopilot from Google, ChatGPT, and even WhatsApp AI (Meta). That changed everything for me.

I love AI. I've spent years learning it. And I realised I can now build high-quality, beautiful websites for small business owners — people just like me — at a fraction of what agencies charge. I bring 26 years of business experience, including online and offline marketing, and I combine it with the best AI tools available.

Most small business owners don't want to learn all this. They just want more customers. Since I already know more than most, I feel it's my job to help those who previously couldn't afford a proper website — one built specifically for their business, and designed to make it more profitable.

That's why I built Proxi.

Proxi is short for Proximity. Local businesses live in proximity to their people and their communities. We are the lifeblood of the economy.

My own website is built entirely with AI — using the same tools and features I give my customers. Many are included in the Snap plan at just R295/month. That's truly all most small business owners need to get online, get found on Google and AI searches, and have a site that looks beautiful, modern and professional. Something to be proud of.

I can't wait to see what these businesses achieve — for their families, their clients, and their communities. Let's do this.
