About the studio

The web & software studio where strategy meets craft.

Fusion By Design is a boutique studio based in Pretoria, South Africa, building websites, web apps and custom software. For over 14 years we've helped businesses of every size turn an idea into something that genuinely works - fast, distinctive and built to grow. We also build and run our own products - POPIA Ready, Spreadli and PluginLyzer - so we know what it takes to ship software and keep it running.

We're small on purpose. You work directly with the developer who builds it. No account managers, no hand-offs, no juniors learning on your project - just real attention, direct communication, and work we actually care about until it's live and thriving.

What we believe

The principles behind every build.

Creativity with purpose

Every pixel earns its place. We design to delight and to convert - never one at the expense of the other.

Built to perform

Beautiful is the baseline. We obsess over speed, SEO and accessibility so your site works as hard as you do.

Straight to the developer

You work directly with the developer who builds it. No account managers, no hand-offs, no juniors learning on your project.

No lock-in

No restrictive contracts. We earn your business with results, then keep earning it.

    We launch, test and hand over - then stick around for hosting, care and whatever comes next.

One developer, start to finish.

Ryan Heinrich

Founder & lead developer, Fusion By Design

Ryan is the founder of Fusion By Design and has spent 14+ years designing and building websites for South African businesses - from single-page trade sites to directory platforms. He now builds custom software, SaaS and AI tools too, including his own products POPIA Ready, Spreadli and PluginLyzer. He does the design and the development himself, which is why you deal with the person who builds your project rather than an account manager.

The person you brief is the person who designs it, writes the code and answers the phone after launch. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a project manager and a developer, because there's only one of us in that chain.
