Our Services
What we build. Why it works.
What it costs.
Seven services. One senior creative directing all of them. Thunderbird Design Co. delivers agency-grade brand and web work for South African businesses that need results, not retainers.
Brand Strategy
Brand strategy is the foundation every other service is built on. Before any logo is drawn or website is designed, Thunderbird defines the commercial and creative territory your brand occupies: who you're for, what makes you worth choosing, and how you communicate that at every touchpoint.
Deliverables include market and competitor positioning, audience definition, brand narrative, and the strategic brief that governs all visual and copy decisions downstream.
Suitable for: New business launches. Rebrands. Businesses that have outgrown their original identity.
Starting from: R8,500
Brand Identity Design
A brand identity from Thunderbird is a complete visual system — not a logo file handed over in a zip folder. The primary mark, colour palette, typography, iconography, and tone-of-voice guidelines are developed as a unified system so your brand is immediately recognisable and infinitely consistent, from your website header to your business card to your DMs. Every identity is delivered with a practical brand guideline document your team or future suppliers can actually use without calling us first.
Suitable for: New brands. Identity refreshes. Businesses scalling their marketing output and needing visual consistency.
Starting from: R10,000
Web Design & UX/UI — Cape Town & South Africa
Thunderbird builds Wix websites and bespoke web frameworks for South African SMEs, solo entrepreneurs, and founders. Every site is engineered for two things: clarity and conversion. Visitors find what they need, take action, and leave having done business with you.
We are a certified Wix Creator Partner. Wix is the default platform for SME projects — fast to launch, built-in SEO tools, easy for clients to manage without agency dependency. Bespoke frameworks are scoped when the project warrants it.
Web design projects include UX strategy, copywriting direction, on-page SEO setup, mobile optimisation, and a post-launch handover. No hand-off call where you're told to "watch a YouTube tutorial."
Suitable for: Business websites. E-commerce. Portfolio and landing pages. Website redesigns and audits.
Starting from: R12,000 (Wix build) | Bespoke on application
Digital Marketing — B2B & B2C South Africa
Performance-led campaigns for businesses that need their marketing to do something measurable. Thunderbird builds and manages paid social, paid search, display, and organic content systems — always anchored in a clear audience brief and a real commercial objective.
We work across B2B and B2C contexts, which means we calibrate the channel mix, messaging strategy, and creative execution to your actual buyer — not a generic persona pulled from a deck template.
Suitable for: New product and service launches. Lead generation campaigns. Always-on digital marketing retainers.
Pricing: On application (scope-dependent)
Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing that is strategic first, creative second. Thunderbird builds content systems — not content calendars full of filler. Every post has a reason: to build awareness, shift a perception, or move a buyer closer to a decision.
We develop the content strategy, creative direction, and either produce content or brief your team on the production spec required to execute it. No stock photos. No generic captions. No posting for the algorithm's sake.
Suitable for: Brands building an organic audience. Businesses running paid social alongside organic. New business launches require rapid audience growth.
Pricing: On application
Graphic Design — Print, Digital & Packaging
Senior graphic design execution for the full range of business collateral: packaging design, print production, sales presentation decks, advertising creative, display and rich media, social assets, and branded templates. 15+ years of agency production experience means output that works at print quality, not just on a screen.
If it needs to look like your brand at a standard that makes you look serious, this is the service.
Suitable for: Packaging and product design. Pitch decks and investor presentations. Advertising and campaign creative. Ongoing design support.
Pricing: Project-based or monthly retainer — on application
Digital Products
For businesses that need agency-grade output on a startup budget and timeline, Thunderbird offers two fixed-price digital products:
Brand-in-a-Box Kit — from R2,500 A structured brand foundation for new businesses: logo concepts, colour palette, typography system, and a usage guide — delivered within a defined timeline, without a full brand strategy engagement.
Executive Website Audit — R3,500 A senior audit of your existing website covering UX, SEO, conversion architecture, brand consistency, and technical performance. Delivered as a designed PDF report with prioritised recommendations. Turnaround: 3 business days.
These products are not discounted agency work — they are purpose-built for a specific problem and priced accordingly.
