Case study
A full replacement of a 2010-era website for a Johannesburg security architecture firm: a new structure and copy, four service lines, five technology partners and a guided intake that qualifies every enquiry.
The project
KHN Consult (Know How Now Business Management Solutions) designs security architecture for South Africa’s estates, corporate headquarters and institutional properties: CCTV and AI surveillance, alarms, perimeter and access control, and the networks behind them. The firm was founded in 2010 and is based in Northcliff, Johannesburg.
KHN’s previous website was a 2010-era Dreamweaver site that needed full replacement. The new one had to explain a technical offer to property owners and managers, and bring in enquiries worth a site visit.
We planned the site structure and wrote the copy, from the home page line “Bespoke Security Architecture for Discerning Clients” to the service pages. The offer is organised into four service lines (security architecture, surveillance and AI, perimeter and access control, and network infrastructure) and five technology-partner pages for Ajax Systems, Avigilon, Axis, Gallagher and Paradox. The design uses a dark, technical visual language with Big Shoulders display type and a horizontal-scroll section for the firm’s three pillars.
Instead of a plain contact form, the contact page is an 11-step guided security intake. Each answer carries points, and the steps end in “Calculate Fit” and then a request for an assessment, so KHN starts every conversation with the facts it needs.

More work
A naturopathic and integrative clinic founded by Dr. Judy Hinojosa, caring for patients across Arizona and, by telemedicine, the wider United States. We rebuilt its website page by page from the clinic’s own designs, bringing a mix of HTML pages and WordPress into one custom WordPress theme, and we look after it.
Eleven cottages on a 512-hectare private mountain reserve with views of the Amphitheatre, in the Piccione family’s care since 1996. We moved the website from WordPress to WDS Prism, our own content platform, turned the approved design into a bespoke theme, and carried every page, photo and old address across.
