Web design FAQ

Web design services, answered

How much does web design cost in Johannesburg?
Most professionally built small business websites in South Africa cost somewhere between R5,000 and R25,000, depending on the number of pages, the features and how much help you need with content. With us, a company website starts from R5,500 and a WooCommerce store from R7,000, excluding VAT, and your quotation is fixed and itemised before any work starts.
Which service do I need?
If you need a new website that brings in enquiries, start with website development. If you sell products online, you need an ecommerce website. If you already have a WordPress website that needs looking after, a maintenance plan is the right fit. Once the website is on a care plan, SEO & AI Visibility helps new customers find you and email newsletters keep existing customers coming back. Not sure? Send us a message and we will point you in the right direction.
Do you only build on WordPress?
Yes. Every website we build runs on WordPress, and every online store on WooCommerce. It gives you full ownership, easy editing and a huge ecosystem, and it lets us look after hundreds of websites on one well-understood platform.
How long does it take to design and build a website?
Most company websites launch within a few weeks of us receiving your content. Online stores take longer, depending on the size of the catalogue and the features. We agree the timeline upfront, and you can follow progress on a private staging link throughout the build.
Why choose a web design company over a freelancer?
A company gives you a team: designers, a lead developer, a support desk and one point of contact, so your project does not stall when one person is away, and the same people host and maintain the website after launch. We have built more than 1,000 websites since 2015 and are rated 4.8 out of 5 on Google.
Are your prices inclusive of VAT?
No. All our prices exclude VAT. Company websites start from R5,500, ecommerce websites from R7,000 and care plans from R250 per month.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. WordPress lets you edit text, images and blog posts yourself. If you would rather not, the Maintenance & Additions plan includes an hour of changes every month.
Do you work with businesses outside Johannesburg?
Yes. We are based in Northcliff and work with businesses across Johannesburg, from Randburg and Sandton to Roodepoort and Midrand, and across South Africa, including Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. We also have a number of clients in the United Kingdom.
