About Virvel Digital

Nothing good should stay a secret.

Good businesses don’t always get the attention they deserve. Usually it isn’t the product or the service. It’s that the right people haven’t found them yet. We build the websites and run the social media that change that.

Behind the name

Virvel is Swedish for whirlwind.

A whirlwind is a force that creates momentum, and momentum is what we build for the businesses we work with.

Long before we had a name, we were already helping businesses grow with websites and digital marketing. Today we work from Northriding in Johannesburg and from Stockholm, and we’ve worked with businesses in four countries.

We don’t believe in marketing for the sake of marketing. Every website we build and every post we publish has one job: connecting a good business with the people who need it.

Vision

Nothing good should stay a secret.

Mission

We build the platform and the momentum that fills it.

What we believe

The best product doesn’t always win; the best-known one does. So we make sure good businesses are easy to find, easy to trust and easy to choose.

The team

A small team by design.

You work with the people doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages to someone you’ll never meet.

How we work

Three things, and nothing else.

We’d rather do three things well than twenty badly. We build websites, we look after them, and we run social media. Because the same team does all three, your website and your social pages work towards the same goal.

We agree the goal in figures before any work begins, we report on it every month in plain English, and we tell you the truth, including when something isn’t worth your money. You own everything we build. There are no lock-ins and no jargon.

  • Goals agreed in figures, upfront
  • Monthly reporting in plain English
  • You own everything we build
  • No lock-in contracts

What we do

Websites, Website Care and Social Media.

Need ads as well? We run Google, Meta and LinkedIn ads as an add-on, usually alongside a website or social media we look after.
