Our Story.

Our Culture, People, Skills, Experience & Creativity

Lilo’s story of web design goes way back to the 1990’s.

Backstory

Lilo planted its digital roots when download speeds and SEO weren’t even words in any dictionary. We’ve seen the evolution of 1-page corporate websites develop into complex web-based software systems (because we’ve been around as long as Google has!).

With the newest technology, our team has honed their web design and web development skills to build customer-centric, interactive websites that provide value to our clients.

Our globally spread team might be small but we have ample skill to use to our advantage. As a small team, we can provide stronger communication between ourselves and our clients. Even though we’re based in offices across the world, you’ll feel as though we’re right beside you.

What’s your work background?

I did a graphic design & Illustration degree in the late 80s. Got involved in interactive design in the early nineties, which then naturally lead me on to a career in web design, which I got involved in in the early days of the dotcom “bubble” (late 90s).

There’s something wonderful about creating something from scratch and the process itself allows for a greater depth of creativity and usually covers a broader range of design disciplines.

What’s your favourite go-to podcast or book or music after a difficult day?:

After a difficult day there’s nothing better than the distraction of good TV. Music plays a big part when I’m working.

What’s your work background?

I studied music and drama in the hopes of becoming famous one day, but it never quite turned out that way! After university I started working for an import company learning the ropes in sales and marketing, and making my way through working for a software company in KZN. While working for this company I realised the digital space was something I wanted to be a part of. I then moved to Cape Town, and within the first month found myself at Lilo 🙂

Working as a team, and providing solutions for clients

What’s your favourite go-to podcast or book or music after a difficult day?

I enjoy cooking, and putting on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown in the background, or any comedy show really. I also love chilling with my cat, and watching a good series on Netflix or sewing.

Favorite quote or line from a movie

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?” by Marianne Williamson

Favorite quote, or line from a movie?

Wait a minute. You aren’t seriously suggesting that if I get through the wire… and case everything out there… and don’t get picked up… to turn myself in and get thrown back in the cooler for a couple of months so you can get the information you need?
