What we build
Four things, done properly. If you are not sure which one you need, ask and we will tell you straight.
Business websites
Three pages that explain what you do, show your work and make it easy to phone you. Add more pages whenever the business needs them.
Online stores
Product pages, a cart, card payments and delivery options that work for South African buyers.
Landing pages
One focused page behind an advert, a flyer or a WhatsApp status, built to turn clicks into calls.
Hosting and care
We keep it online, backed up and updated, and we make your changes for you. Not taking it is fine, we recommend a host and show you how to set it up.
Who it is for
Small South African businesses that people need to find, phone and pay. New ones, and ones that have been going twenty years on word of mouth alone.

We talk
Fifteen minutes on the phone or on WhatsApp. You tell us what your business does and who you want calling you.

A 50% deposit starts the work. Copy, photos, forms, maps, the lot. We ask you for what we need and get on with it.
You go live
You settle the other half and it goes live on your own domain, in your name. You own the site and everything in it.
What it costs
One price, agreed before anything starts. Half up front, half when your site goes live.

SEOSearch engine optimisation
The work that puts your business in front of someone searching Google for what you sell, in the town where you sell it.
AEOAnswer engine optimisation
The same job, for ChatGPT and the AI answers now sitting above Google results. They read your site to answer questions, so it has to say who you are, clearly enough to be quoted.

Questions we get asked
Why does it say R1 000 and not a fixed price?
R1 000 is the starting point for a landing page or a three page site with the basics. How much work your site actually needs decides the final number. You get that number in writing before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards.
What does an extra page cost?
R250 each, after the first three. So a five page site is R1 500. You can add pages later at the same price as the business grows.
Do I have to take the monthly hosting?
No. The R250 a month is optional. If you would rather not take it, we recommend a host and show you how to set it up yourself, then hand over the files. Nothing is locked to us.
How long does it actually take?
About a week for a Starter or Business site, counted from the day we have your logo, photos and service list. The waiting is almost always on content, not on us.
Do I own the website when it is done?
Yes. We register the .co.za or .com in your name and bill it at cost, and the site itself belongs to you. If we part ways you take everything with you.
Who changes the text once it is live?
We do. Send a WhatsApp with what you want changed and it gets done. That is included in the R250 a month, so there is no editor to learn and nothing for you to break.
How do I pay?
EFT, straight into the bank. A 50% deposit before work starts, and the balance on the day your site goes live. You get an invoice for both.
Tell us about your business
Send the form or message us on WhatsApp. You get a straight answer and a price, usually the same day.
