FAQ
Questions local business owners ask first.
How much does a website cost?
Website builds start from R5,950 once-off. Final pricing depends on the scope, number of pages and any extra functionality you need.
How long does it take to build a website?
Typical turnaround is about seven working days, depending on the project and how quickly we receive your content and feedback. Some projects are finished sooner.
Can you help if I already have a website?
Yes. We can help with website maintenance, performance improvements, Local SEO, Google Business Profile, advertising and other growth services.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No ongoing contract for website builds. Google Business Profile, Local Growth and ads management have a three-month initial commitment, then 30 days' written notice. Hosting is month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
Can you help my business appear on Google?
Yes. Local SEO and Google Business Profile services are available to help improve how your business appears when nearby customers search.
Do you manage Google Ads?
Yes. We offer ads setup, conversion tracking and ongoing management for businesses that want to reach people actively searching for their services.
What happens after my website goes live?
You can manage it yourself, or add hosting, Google Business Profile management, Local Growth or ads when you need them.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Once the website is paid in full, you own it, the agreed content and the domain. We register the domain in your name from the start where possible. Ending hosting or any other service doesn't change that.
How do I pay for a website?
50% upfront to start the project, and 50% when the website is ready for your final approval, before it goes live.
