About AIO DIGITAL
Hi, I’m Shana Forbes.
Your strategist. Your developer. Your point of contact.
I’m Shana Forbes, a WordPress developer and PPC specialist based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Through AIO Digital, I work directly with businesses and agency teams on websites, online stores and paid advertising. My experience across development, marketing and project management helps me understand how each decision affects the bigger picture.
I ask questions, explain my recommendations and stay close to the details. You’ll always know who you’re working with.
/ My Story
From Agency Life to Independent Work.
My name is Shana Forbes, and my career started in agency project management. I worked across development, marketing, strategy and client service, learning how to bring different people and moving parts together.
That experience shaped how I approach projects today. A website decision can affect a campaign. A tracking problem can change how performance is understood. The brief needs to account for those connections.
I went on to build AIO Digital into a boutique agency, working with clients across South Africa, the UK and the Netherlands.
Today, I work independently under the AIO Digital name, bringing that experience to a more personal, hands-on working relationship.

What It’s Like to Work with Me.
Clear Advice
I explain what I recommend and why. If the brief needs refining or an approach needs rethinking, we’ll discuss it early.
Attention to Detail
The form, the mobile layout, the conversion event, the campaign settings—small details affect the experience. I give them the attention they deserve.
Direct Collaboration
You work directly with me. We agree on priorities, keep feedback constructive and make sure the next steps are clear.
Curiosity with Purpose
I enjoy figuring things out. My clients’ “Tech Goddess” nickname grew from that willingness to investigate a problem, learn what’s needed and find a practical way forward.
What Shana Forbes Brings to Your Team
WordPress Development
I build business websites, landing pages, online stores and specialist WordPress projects using Divi, Elementor or Breakdance.
My approach considers the people using the website, the team managing it and the business goals behind it. I also work on existing websites that need improvements or ongoing support.
Google & Meta Ads
I plan, set up and manage paid campaigns, bringing together targeting, messaging, conversion tracking and ongoing optimisation.
I also look at the destination behind the advert. Understanding the landing page and enquiry journey helps us make better decisions about the campaign.
Based in South Africa. Open to the World.
Good collaboration starts with clear expectations.
I’m based in Johannesburg and have worked with clients across South Africa, the UK and the Netherlands. I also welcome new projects and agency partnerships from the US.
Before we begin, we agree on the scope, communication channels, meeting availability and feedback process. That gives us a practical way to work together across locations and time zones.
Clear Communication
Direct updates, useful feedback and an agreed place to keep project conversations.
Agreed Availability
Meeting times and response expectations established around our working hours.
A Defined Scope
Clear deliverables, responsibilities and milestones so everyone understands the plan.
A Few Things You May Be Wondering.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. I’m your main point of contact for the work we agree on. You’ll speak directly with me about the brief, recommendations, progress and feedback.
Do you work with agencies and marketing teams?
Yes. I’m available for freelance projects, contracts and ongoing partnerships involving WordPress development and PPC. We agree on my role, responsibilities and communication arrangements before starting.
Can we work together if my business is outside South Africa?
Yes. I work remotely and welcome enquiries from the UK, the Netherlands and the US. We’ll establish suitable meeting times and a clear process for sharing information and reviewing the work.
Can you improve an existing website or advertising account?
Yes. I can review an existing WordPress website or Google Ads or Meta Ads account and recommend an appropriate scope. That may involve targeted improvements, ongoing support or a larger project, depending on what the review finds.
