Anyone got any good links to well designed South African Company / Product websites or Graphic Design Companies or Design Blogs?
I'm working on some concepts for a contemporary South African company website.
I've already got a couple of concepts that I am pleased with but not sure how the client will like them - maybe the difference in our cultures might be reflected in what's preferred design-wise.Looking for some inspiration and ideas.

does the company itself have anything to do with south african culture, tourism, or art? if not, don't force that african look. treat it like any other company.
you wouldn't decorate a company's site with red/white/blue, baseballs, and hotdogs just because that company is from the usa.
that being said... no, i don't have any south african inspiration, sorry. good luck.

its a tourism / safari type company so i think it warrants a "bit" of traditional culture. obviously dont want to go overboard with traditional stuff but might end up using patterns etc.
it wasnt really traditional design i was looking for, it was more what kind of stuff good design companies over there are knocking-out.
i.e a site like John Lewis is a nicely designed lifestyle site - obviously quite european/american.
is there any nice S.A lifestyle sites?
