Your website has one job: help turn attention into business.

Website prices in South Africa range from a few thousand rand for a small brochure site to six figures for a large ecommerce or booking platform, because the work involved is not comparable. What moves the price is the number of pages, whether copy and photography exist, whether you need ecommerce or bookings, and how much technical and search work is included. We quote according to scope after a short conversation, and we put the scope in writing before anything is charged.

A focused business website is usually a matter of a few weeks once content and brand assets are available. Larger sites with ecommerce, many service pages or original copywriting take longer. The most common delay is not development, it is waiting for text, photographs and approvals, so we agree review dates with you up front.

Yes, where it is in scope. The domain, hosting and content management accounts are registered in your name, you receive the credentials, and there is a documented handover. You are never dependent on us to make a basic change, and you can move to another developer without losing your site. Third-party licensed items such as premium themes, plugins or stock photography remain licensed on their own terms, and we tell you which those are.

Often that is the better option. If the structure and content are sound and the real problem is speed, messaging, mobile experience or a broken enquiry path, we fix those rather than starting over. We look at the current site first and tell you honestly whether a rebuild is justified.

Yes. We build online stores where selling online is genuinely part of the business model, including product structure, payment gateway setup and delivery options. Where you only sell a handful of items or need custom quotes, an enquiry-led site is usually cheaper to run and converts better, and we will say so.

Yes. WooCommerce is a common fit for South African small businesses selling physical products, and we can build a new store or work with an existing one. We set up products, categories, shipping rules and local payment gateway integration, and we hand over the admin access.

We structure the message on every page and write the copy where that is in scope. Even where you supply the words, we shape the order in which the page makes its argument, because a page that lists services rarely persuades anyone who does not already know you.

The technical foundation is included: clean page structure, unique titles and descriptions, sitemap, structured data, fast load times, mobile usability and accessible markup. Ongoing search work such as content programmes, local visibility and authority building is a separate service, because it is continuous rather than a once-off task.

It can be referenced, but nobody can force an AI system to mention a business. What we can do is make your information easy for those systems to read and trust: crawlable text rather than images of text, clear service and location information, structured data, consistent business details and direct answers to real questions. That improves your chances without pretending to control the outcome.

Yes. Most South African visitors will meet your business on a phone, often on mobile data, so pages are designed for a small screen first, tap targets are large enough to use, and images are compressed so pages still load on a weak connection.

Yes. We build on a content management system you can log into, and the handover includes a walkthrough of the changes owners actually make: text, prices, images, team members, opening hours and new pages. Where you would rather not touch it, we can maintain it for you.

We can arrange hosting and ongoing maintenance including updates, backups and monitoring, quoted separately so you can see what it costs. You may also keep hosting elsewhere. The accounts stay in your name either way.
