Built for Small Businesses and Start-ups

We cut out the fat. Not the quality.

Small businesses in South Africa have been getting overcharged for websites for years. Big quotes, slow delivery, and a website you don't even own at the end of it.

We built something different — a proper business website, with your info, a contact form and a WhatsApp button built in, for R495/month. Onboarding is quick, with colour and style choices to suit your business. You supply the content, we build it in a week.

Fast. Practical. Your Business, Online.

What's included

Everything to get you online. Nothing you don't need.

One simple monthly rate covers the lot. No surprise invoices, no "that's an add-on."

Custom design

A professional site designed for your business. All the things you need in a business website. Choose your colours and style.

Free .co.za domain and free email address@yourdomain.co.za

We register and connect your own .co.za address and set up a business email for you. The domain is yours, included free, no extra line item.

Free SSL & security

Fast, secure hosting with Daily back-ups. Free SSL certificate built in. The padlock visitors trust.

Looks great on every screen. Especially the one in your customer's hand.

Most of your customers will find you on a phone. We design for mobile phone first, then make sure it looks just as good on tablet, laptop, and desktop.

Go live in days, not months

No three-month timelines. 1 Build your website, 2 approve your website, 3 pay first month's rental and you're online in days.

Never locked in

No contracts and no hostage situations. Give 30 days' notice and walk away cleanly. Simple.

How it works

Three steps. No meetings.

From "I need a website" to "look at my website" in less than a week.

Build your website

Click on 'Start building your site'. With our live preview you just add your business details and photos and see your website filling up

Approve your website

Once you are happy with how the preview looks, pay the first month's rental R495. We will then register your domain and set up your hosting. This can take up to 5 days.

Your website goes live

Celebrate your new live business website. R495/month keeps you hosted, secured, updated, and live. That's it.

Completing your form

"Okay, what's the catch?"

Fair question. When something's this much cheaper than the quote down the road, you should ask. Here's the straight version.

Why is it so much cheaper? No agency overhead. No account managers, no fancy office, no retainer padding. You're paying for the website — not the furniture.

Is it a template site? Yes and no. We reuse and refine our own codebase — the same way every good developer does. But it's custom-built for your business, by someone who's done this at agency level. Affordable and low-quality aren't the same thing. That's the whole point.

So what's the actual catch? There isn't one. It's a monthly hire model, not a R25k buyout. You keep paying R495/month and it stays live — and you can walk anytime.

Watch it take shape as you type. Your actual site updates right in front of you section by section — not a mockup, the real thing — so you always know exactly what a visitor will see.

Save any time, subscribe when you're happy. Not finished in one sitting? No problem — come back with the same link whenever suits you, nothing is ever lost. Once you're happy with it, subscribe and we take it from there: your domain gets registered, hosting gets set up, and your site goes live.

Questions

The bits you're wondering about

Is it really just R495 a month?

Yes. R495/month covers everything — hosting, SSL, security, updates, and your .co.za domain. No annual renewals, no "that's an add-on" surprises. What you see is what you pay, every month.

Do I own my website?

You own your domain — registered in your name, yours to take anywhere if you ever leave. The website itself runs on our platform, which is what keeps the monthly cost low. Think of it like a well-maintained shop: the business name is yours, the building is ours.

What happens if I cancel?

Give us 30 days' notice and we close everything down cleanly. Your domain is yours we'll transfer it to you or your new provider at no charge. No penalty fees, no awkward conversations. We'd rather earn your business than trap it.

How long until I'm live?

Usually within a week of receiving your content. You approve before anything goes public so you're always in control of what goes live and when.

Can I get changes made later?

Yes. Text, photos, business hours, contact details - all included in your monthly fee. Just send them through with your site code. Bigger changes like new sections or a full redesign can be discussed — we'll always be upfront about what's involved.

What if I'm not happy with the design?

Then we fix it. You'll see a preview before anything goes live, and changes are included. We'd rather get it right than have you sitting with something you're not proud of. If there are bigger structural changes needed, we'll talk it through honestly.

What do I need to have ready?

Your business name, contact details, a description of what you do, and any photos you want to use. We'll guide you through the rest via the onboarding form. The more you give us, the better the result — but we can work with what you have.

Will Google be able to find my site?

Yes Google will find your site. Every site includes on-page SEO, proper headings, meta descriptions, fast load times, and mobile optimisation. You won't outrank a national brand overnight, but you'll be set up correctly from the start, which matters more than most people realise.
