Solz Designs

Harare, Zimbabwe

Web design in Harare

Solz Designs is based in Harare and builds websites for businesses across the city — from Borrowdale and Avondale offices to Msasa and Graniteside operations. Being in the same city means we can meet in person when a project needs it, though most of our Harare clients still prefer to run everything over WhatsApp because it is faster.

The local picture

Getting found in Harare

Harare is the most competitive search market in Zimbabwe, which cuts both ways. There are more businesses bidding for the same terms, but there are also far more people searching — a Harare restaurant or law firm gets meaningful search volume in a way a smaller town simply does not. The businesses that win here are not the ones with the prettiest sites; they are the ones with pages that answer specific questions, a Google Business Profile that is actually filled in, and a site fast enough to survive a mobile connection in traffic on Samora Machel.

What matters here

What a Harare website has to get right

  • Local search is the whole game

    For most Harare businesses, more enquiries come from ranking in the map pack for 'near me' searches than from ranking in the regular results. We set up and optimise your Google Business Profile alongside the website, and make sure the name, address and phone number match exactly across both — mismatches are the single most common reason a Harare business does not appear on the map.

  • Suburb-level intent matters

    People in Harare search by suburb, not just by city — 'dentist Borrowdale', 'plumber Avondale'. If you serve specific areas, your site needs to say so in plain text on a page Google can index, not only on a contact page map embed that a crawler reads as a blank frame.

  • Built for the connection you actually have

    Harare mobile data is expensive and inconsistent. A site that loads instantly on office fibre can take fifteen seconds on a phone in a load-shedding brownout with a congested tower. We build to the second case, because that is where your customers are when they look you up.

How it works

Ten days, start to live

No mood boards, no month-long discovery phase. You see real screens by day three and the site is online by day ten.

  1. 01Day 1–2

    Discover

    A call about your business, not your website. Who buys from you, what stops them, and what a win looks like in enquiries or sales.

  2. 02Day 3–6

    Design

    You see real screens, not a mood board. We iterate on the actual layout and copy until the homepage earns its job.

  3. 03Day 7–10

    Build

    Hand-coded in Next.js and tested on real devices and real connection speeds — not just a fast laptop.

  4. 04Day 10

    Launch

    Domain, hosting, Search Console and Analytics configured. Then a handover session so you can run it yourself.

Harare questions

Web design in Harare, answered

The things people ask before they hire us. If yours isn't here, message us — we answer on WhatsApp within a few hours.

Can we meet in person in Harare?

Yes. We are based in Harare, so an in-person meeting is possible for projects where it helps — usually the initial brief for larger e-commerce builds. Most clients skip it, because a thirty-minute WhatsApp video call covers the same ground without either of us sitting in traffic. There is no price difference either way.

Do you help with Google Business Profile in Harare?

Yes, and it is included with every website build at no extra cost. For a Harare business with a physical address, the Google Business Profile usually generates more enquiries in the first six months than the website's organic rankings do. We claim or fix the listing, align it with your site, and show you how to keep posting to it.

Which Harare areas do you work with?

All of them. Our Harare clients span the CBD, Borrowdale, Avondale, Highlands, Mount Pleasant, Msasa, Graniteside, Belvedere and Chitungwiza. Because the work is remote by default, your location within Harare has no effect on price or timeline.
