About Me

Digital Marketing Specialist
Hi, I’m Tinashe, a Website Developer and Digital Marketing Expert based in South Africa, with nearly a decade of hands-on experience building high-performance websites and scalable digital solutions.
I specialise in developing custom WordPress, PHP, and WooCommerce platforms tailored to real business needs. Over the years, I’ve worked on well-optimised websites for corporates as well as small to large businesses across South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. My experience also includes designing tender portals with advanced membership functionality and building listing platforms in South Africa, managing high-traffic environments that process thousands of orders monthly. From custom payment gateway integrations to complex inventory management systems, I bring enterprise-level expertise to every project.
My work goes beyond just building websites. I help businesses create fast, secure, and scalable online platforms through custom development, advanced integrations, performance optimisation, and ongoing technical support. Whether it’s a full site overhaul, custom plugin development, or long-term maintenance, my focus is always on delivering reliable solutions that support sustainable growth.
