Hi, I'm Janco.

Web designer and developer. I build fast, visually sharp websites for brands that refuse to be forgettable. Based in South Africa, working with clients worldwide.

The background

I started building websites out of frustration — I kept seeing great businesses let down by mediocre web presence. Slow sites, outdated design, zero mobile experience. So I started fixing it.

Today, J.Sites is how I do that professionally. From bespoke Next.js builds to custom Shopify themes, I take projects from zero to live URL — handling design, development, and launch myself, so nothing gets lost in translation.

I care about the details other people skip. The hover state nobody notices until it's missing. The load time that costs you a bounce. The heading hierarchy that quietly lifts your SEO.

How I work

01

Performance is a feature

A slow site costs money. Every build targets Lighthouse 95+ and Core Web Vitals green.

02

Mobile first, always

Over half of web traffic is mobile. I design for the smallest screen and scale up — not the other way around.

03

Design with intent

Every layout decision has a reason. I don't add elements because they look cool — I add them because they serve the user.

04

Transparent process

You always know where your project is. Fixed price, staged milestones, no surprise invoices.
