Custom website vs website templates: Which should I pick?
The pros and cons of using custom and pre-made website designs.
We build and renovate swimming pools for homeowners and commercial clients within Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Krugersdorp and Johannesburg. Building one is a big decision; therefore, we assist our clients through the entire decision-making process advising on shape, size, finish and mainly safety in order to provide a functional solution that still meets your aesthetic expectations. We adhere to strict building standards and regulations to guarantee a long-lasting product, as well as ensuring that you don’t have to alter your plans midway through the project. We can build domestic pools, commercial pools, do major renovations and minor repairs. We specialise in fiberglass and designer gunite pools. You can soundly rely on the guarantee that our staff are knowledgeable and competent in all these important areas. There is hardly anything that we cannot help you with. The first step would be to decide whether you would want a pre-designed plan from Outdoor Creations or if you would like to work with our pool contractors designing your own custom pool. Remember that we do not only do swimming pools but take your entire landscape into consideration due to our expertise in this field. Therefore, we will ensure that your swimming pool’s functionality and look will fit with its entire surroundings. If you want to create and design an oasis, unique unto yourself, check out our design studio for some of our 3D designs we’ve done for clients. The building process We would like to share the systematic steps we take in creating your beautiful new poolscape. Swimming Pool Design All our clients will receive a 3D animated design before construction begins. These are very realistic and allow you to see all the details of the design and enable you to make any revisions or improvements if necessary. The Layout The dimensions of the swimming pool design are layed out onto the proposed site area. This truly helps to physically see the outlines of the actual size and shape of the pool. Before the ground is then actually excavated, the client can make changes if necessary. The Excavation The site is then prepared for the pool construction by excavating the grass, underlying soil and possible rock. Forming and Steel Steel and wood are used to form a solid foundation for any home. This is also used to form the shape and structure of your swimming pool. It serves as the framework for the poolscape and contains high structural integrity. Electrical and plumbing The pluming and electrical components are then installed. We ensure that the plumbing is pressure tested and the electrical components meet the necessary regulations. Gunite This stage is quite awesome. The Gunite is applied by using high-pressure hoses to create the tough inner shell of your new swimming pool. It’s great to see the Gunite concrete applied and worked onto the forming structure. It’s like a real-time vision of your dream pool coming to life. Decking This is where the perimeters around your pool are installed. Other features such as outdoor fireplaces, bomas, braai areas, firepits, fountains and other amazing features that compliment your pool are created. Tiles, coping, masonry and stone We have a variety of choices that can be used for the final finishes and linings of your swimming pool, such as natural stone tiles, slates, ceramics and mosaics. The coping can be crafted from limestone, brick, cement or an assortment of other materials. We go to great lengths to monitor quality during the installation process to ensure that the final finish is done flawless and built to last. Plaster The plaster is blown onto the gunite and requires a quick, experienced and hard-working team to smooth the surface to assure a beautiful finish. The swimming pool is then immediately filled with water. The pool should then be “brushed” twice a day to ensure the smoothest surface possible. Start-up and Training The initial start-up and maintenance of your swimming pool can leave you overwhelmed. We will however, train you on how to use the controls of the pool equipment, as well as a manual that explains how to easily take care of your pool. But we will be available to answer any questions. This seems like a daunting process, but let us enlighten you with 10 reasons on how you will benefit from installing and building a new pool: Encourage family time Building a pool will make lasting memories as you teach your children to swim, play with them in the pool or simply barbeque with friends and family around a fun and relaxing space. Create an outdoor resort at your home A well-designed swimming pool can turn your backyard into an elegant outdoor oasis, because with all the beautiful features and other unique amenities it becomes an inviting centrepiece. Throw a party It becomes such a great way to entertain. Invite your friends and neighbours over for a poolside barbeque or a simple cool-off. Stay healthy and lose weight You can spend time exercising in your own pool, without having to spend money on going to a gym. Swimming provides an excellent total body workout with low risk of injury. Unwind and relax After a long day at work, the pool becomes a wonderful escape to take a quick dip in. It’s the best way to relax and get rid of stress. You’ll also sleep much better. Increase the value of your home Your property becomes more attractive to prospective homebuyers and according to recent studies owning a pool increases the property value by as much as 15%. Stay Cool You can beat the summer heat by lounging in the cool waters and save on the air conditioning bill. Keep an eye on your kids You can give your children and their friends a safe and convenient place to hang out! This can help you in knowing who your children’s friends are and keeping them close by. Save some money It’s easier to finance and maintain than most people thing. And in the long run, they are less expensive than big family vacations and other entertainment options. Long lasting fun It’s a great investment that will reap rewards for a lifetime. A vacation, a movie, or a visit to a theme park will all come to an end, but a pool will be enjoyed by your friends and family for years to come.

If you’re ready to show your pool some love, give it a facelift or you feel it’s time for a major backyard upgrade, give us a call. Pool resizing and modification or total reshaping Many people wonder if they can change the depth or shape of their swimming pool. For example, you don’t want it to be a diving pool anymore, but you’d like it to be shallower. Or perhaps you would like to shape out the stairs with a more modern look. It’s all possible. Removal and replacement of current copings The stone or concrete material that surrounds the edging of your swimming pool, plays a big role in its overall charm and safety. Options available are poured-in-place concrete, pre-cast concrete material, tiles or natural stone (pavers, flagstone etc.). We can renovate your existing coping or give you an entire new look. Removal and replacement of current mosaic If your pool is looking tired and worn, it most likely would do with some new mosaic linings. From mosaic and geometric designs to realistic rustic stone look-a-likes, there are a variety of elegant patterns available. Fibreglass Swimming Pool Renovation Our team are experts in their field and dedicated to deliver the highest quality fibreglass workmanship, for both linings and shells that need resurfacing, crack or structural repairs and painting. We also offer installation services for a variety of swimming pool heating options. We only use specific materials like the g/m sq mat which is thicker, 50% more dense and at least twice as strong as the g/m sq mat. Marbelite Swimming Pool Renovation Being one of the most durable of the pool linings, marbelite comes in a variety of colours, the most popular being white, sky blue and charcoal. We can add a few more years to your swimming pool’s life, by reconditioning it. Many times, when these types of pools have many cracks in its lining, we recommend it be fiberglassed, since it clearly has a lot of movement weakening the concrete shell.

the website is for a church and needs approximately 25 pages, needs a database for congregants information, archive/catalogue for online video and audio sermons, a messaging facility to a designated email address and to admin, an eft facility to accommodate online payments, donations and tithe payments, needs to facilitate online registrations for events, track attendance and facilitate notifications, offer online registrations for membership, baptism etc and store the relevant documentation and have an integrated app to compliment it
We have a storage company that is almost like garages that people can rent out. We have about units. We are looking for a website that has a booking function - almost like hotel booking that allows clients to immediately see what we have to offer and book out a unit of their choosing. We do not necessarily need a payment option on the site. We are looking for something automated that will minimise manual work as much as possible. Some kind of a "bot" system that helps along the process as much as possible would also be helpful.
