The studio
A studio built for what’s next.
McCormick Media is an AI-native design studio in Cape Town. We bring innovation and creativity to your next design, and we build it on systems that keep working long after launch.
A free 15-minute look at your site, no pitch. Just where it’s leaving money and what we’d change.
Most agencies sell you a website. We think that’s the least interesting part. A website is the front door, what matters is what the house does: how it’s found, how it welcomes, how it earns. So we design the door beautifully, and we build the house to run itself.
What drives us
- 01
The craft.
Quiet, considered design. The kind you feel before you can explain it. We’d rather remove three things than add one.
- 02
The leverage.
We use AI the way great studios once used the printing press: not to replace the craft, to multiply it. It’s how a small studio ships work at a level that used to take a floor of people.
- 03
The ambition.
We’re building something much larger than a web studio. Every build is a step toward it, and every client gets a team that refuses to think small.
Where we’re going
We’re early, and we’re not pretending otherwise.No inflated case studies, no borrowed logos. What we have is craft you can inspect, systems that report what they did, and the intent to become the studio other studios reference. You’re not hiring a vendor, you’re getting in early, and early gets our best work.
Meet the founder
Ethan McCormick
Founder, McCormick Media
“High ambition, high agency. That’s the whole culture.”
I build websites that get businesses found. That’s the work. Design that makes people stay, and a system that never stops working.
Most agencies hand over a website and walk away. I don’t. My engine keeps your site found, month after month, and shows you what changed. You never touch it.
I’m building McCormick Media into something big. Not one day. Now. Every build carries my name, so every build gets everything I have.
When you call, you get me. My name is on the door, and I answer.
