A coherent identity
The name looks like the same business wherever it appears: on a phone, a document, a profile picture.
Targeting January 2027

The local brief
Clearer information. Easier enquiries.
A local business is easier to understand when the name, the website and the content agree with each other. A coherent identity, a useful mobile website and a consistent way of publishing make it simpler for someone to see what is offered and to get in touch.
That is the problem this project is preparing for, with businesses in and around Mbombela in mind. It is not a promise of growth, rankings, leads or revenue.
A useful mobile website
The offer, the place and the way to enquire are easy to find on a small screen, without hunting.
Consistent content
What gets published does not contradict the identity or the site. The story stays in one piece.
Planned services
Three kinds of work
Concrete outputs first. Nothing on this site is a package price. A piece of work would be scoped in writing, then given a fixed quote for that scope.
Service 1.
Brand identity and design
- Logo files for screen and print
- A short guide for colour, type and use
- A few practical applications, such as an avatar or a card
Service 2.
Websites and online presence
- A mobile-first site with a clear structure
- Pages arranged so a visitor can find and enquire
- A considered first screen, where it suits the business
Service 3.
Content and ongoing support
- A simple content pattern and a realistic rhythm
- Templates for captions or short graphics
- Limited website updates inside an agreed boundary
Selected work
What exists so far
No client projects yet. These two pieces are self-initiated. They are not case studies, and they do not stand in for someone else’s results.
Self-initiated · In development
This website
The public record of the project: structure, type and plain language, built towards the January 2027 launch.
Self-initiated · Division
Apparel visual system
Location tees from Mbombela, treated as one consistent visual system. Not a shop, and not for sale here.
Proposed process
How the work would run
A working method, written down before it has been used with clients. It will be revised if real projects teach a better one.
-
Step 1.
Brief and discovery
What the business does, who it is for, and what a useful result looks like.
-
Step 2.
Written scope
Deliverables, review rounds, exclusions, and a fixed quote for that scope.
-
Step 3.
Design review
Work shown at agreed points, with comments gathered in one pass.
-
Step 4.
Delivery and handover
Final files or the site, plus a short note on how to use them.
-
Step 5.
Optional support
Only if it is written as its own scope. It is not assumed.
This is the proposed method, not a record of client work. Read the process in full
The person
Mfundow Mkhatshwa
Graphic designer and web developer, Mbombela.
I design and build the work myself. There is no roster behind the name, and no client list yet. This site is public so the project can be visited, read and tested while it is still being made.
Division
Apparel, as a visual system
Mbombela Made Apparel is a division of the project: location-tee streetwear from Mbombela, used to keep one mark, one word and one placement logic consistent. It is a demonstration of design craft, not the main identity, and not a shop.
Follow the build
A conversation, not a shop front.
If you want to follow the work, or talk about a project for after the planned launch, WhatsApp is the direct line. I read messages myself. This site does not promise a reply window.
