ABOUT TWO FISHES
We are a professional, reliable and experienced graphic design agency based in Cape Town.
Passionate about corporate design, Two Fishes Design offers more than just logo design or putting a website on-line. We like to see your company reel in the BIG fish – by creating a brand you love and getting hooked on fresh marketing.
We offer a full creative solution from lingering logo design, bouyant business card and letterhead, to creating a brochure and signage rounding off with an attractive online presence via web design.
Apple. IBM. Nike. Names we know that translates into known products.
So what is in a name? What is a name worth? It is worth as much as it can generate interest amongst your public.
When we were brainstorming for a name for our design company we wanted to make it creative enough that it would get people wondering about us. Having the surname “Visser” contributed generously to our creativity since we wanted something more personal as well as creative. Thus playing on “fishes” and the connection with “Visser – literally “fisher” – our company naming session was halfway there.
In addition we just had to work out an appropriate logo and design strategy – a mere flash of a synapse and we were done.
So that is what is in our name; Two Fished Design: created by two fishe(r)s and here we are – many streams later, working on our pond.

WE BUILD WEBSITES
THAT ARE EASY TO UPDATE, SEO FRIENDLY AND RESPONSIVE
All our websites are developed in a Content Management System (CMS) which means it’s easy to do your own updates after we have completed the design. We build the website to be Search Engine Optimised (SEO friendly) which is very important… because what good is an online presence if no-one can find it?
And lastly in our modern era of browsing on all types of devices, it has become essential to have a responsive website – a site that resizes content and layout according to the size of the screen.
Nifty but also A NECESSITY.
