About Me

Expert WordPress Developer & WooCommerce Specialist

I'm Byron Jacobs, a dedicated WordPress Developer and WooCommerce Expert based in Cape Town, South Africa. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I specialise in building custom WordPress solutions that help businesses succeed online.

I've worked on some of the largest WooCommerce stores in South Africa, handling high-traffic websites 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 services extend beyond development to include store maintenance, site overhauls, complex integrations, custom plugin development, and ongoing support to keep your online presence fast, stable, and scalable.

Testimonials

What My Clients Say

Don't just take my word for it – hear from businesses I've worked with.

"Byron from Heavyweight Digital has been a dream to work with – extremely knowledgeable and experienced; on time with everything; always positive and helpful; a pro in every sense. He has always been open-minded about what we want, and at the same time quick to lend his expert advice to help us avoid issues that we haven't anticipated. Since the initial build, whenever we've had urgent issues (created by us – not him!), he didn't hesitate to step in to resolve the issue right away. If you want a development expert who doesn't just meet expectations, but regularly way exceeds them, look no further than Heavyweight Digital!"
