Budget Websites
A professional website doesn't have to cost a fortune
If you've looked into getting a website before, you've probably run into one of these:
- A web agency quote for R15,000–R40,000 (plus monthly fees)
- A freelancer who's affordable but unavailable when something breaks
- DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace) that look simple — until you realise you need to separately pay for hosting, your domain, a premium plan, form add-ons, and hours of your own time learning the platform
- A social media page being used as a website — it works, but it isn't yours and it has real limits
There's a better option.

Transparent about what's included — and what isn't
We believe honesty builds better working relationships. Here's a clear picture:
Included in every plan: Professional design, full build, your domain name (web address), hosting, ongoing maintenance, monthly content updates, contact form, maps.
Not included: Built-in online shop (e-commerce), business email accounts, custom app-like features.
If you need any of these, we'll point you in the right direction — no hard sell.
Affordable doesn't mean cutting corners
Our websites are fast, secure, well-structured and built to be found on Google. We've helped hundreds of South African sole owners and small businesses get online — businesses that couldn't justify a large agency quote but needed something more reliable than a DIY platform they'd spend weekends maintaining.
