Lutho's Delivery
Bakkie Delivery Platform — Mthatha & Eastern Cape
A digital presence and online booking platform built for a bakkie delivery operator serving Mthatha, surrounding Eastern Cape villages, and national routes. Customers book online or connect instantly via WhatsApp.
Serving Mthatha, the villages, and beyond.
Lutho's Delivery is a bakkie delivery service operating from Mthatha — moving furniture, appliances, building materials, groceries, farm produce, and business stock across the Eastern Cape and nationally.
The business operates in a context where most customers already use WhatsApp as their primary communication channel. The goal was a web presence that complements this — not replacing WhatsApp, but giving customers a credible, mobile-friendly platform to discover services, understand pricing, and initiate bookings.
CloudNala designed and built the platform from scratch — a clean, fast, and honest digital presence that reflects how the business actually works.
- Homepage with hero, services, coverage zones, how it works, pricing, and CTA
- Online booking form with WhatsApp follow-up flow
- Coverage details page with per-zone pricing and descriptions
- Contact page with business hours and WhatsApp deep link
- Floating WhatsApp button across all pages
- Mobile-first, fully responsive layout
- Deployment on Vercel with custom domain readiness
Built for how customers in Eastern Cape actually book.
