SAGEWOOD CAFE

Bespoke WordPress website

Sagewood Cafe Website Design

A modern, clean and joyful website for this ethical brand

Sagewood Cafe is a vibrant restaurant in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, where the focus is on serving creative, delicious and beautiful dishes using locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients.

This brand is close to my heart; I’ve been part of their journey since the beginning. I first started working with them in 2015 before they were officially a brand! At the time I was working at a marketing agency and was part of the team that designed Sagewood’s brand identity and first website. We also helped with the restaurant’s launch campaign, social media and PR.

Sagewood’s owner and chef, Gregg Oosthuizen, approached me in 2020, when I was working for myself, to help create a new website for the business that included an online shop. 

Our goals for this WordPress website redesign project: 

  1. Use video to immediately draw the visitor in and visually communicate what Sagewood is all about.
  2. Make it simple + easy for people to view and download the menus.
  3. Improve the website’s presence in Google search.
  4. Improve the user experience for mobile phone users.
  5. Create an online shop that’s easy for the Sagewood team to manage themselves.
  6. Create an online cake ordering system for the team.

The result is this gorgeous, modern, clean and joyful new website that communicates Sagewood's vibrant and authentic spirit.
