Website design and development pricing

Published openly because price-hiding wastes everyone's time. Ranges below are indicative; every project receives a fixed, itemised quote after one scoping conversation, and the quote is the binding number.

Placeholder: All figures on this page are indicative working ranges pending final confirmation — except the fixed SEO Audit entry product, which is a published once-off price.

Fixed-price SEO audits

Distinct from website packages, monthly SEO support and maintenance — once-off diagnostics with capped implementation.

Above those limits? Request a custom SEO audit.

Pricing questions

Why ranges instead of fixed prices?

Because honest fixed prices require scope, and scope requires a conversation. The ranges bound your budgeting; the scoping call converts your specifics into a fixed, itemised quote — which is the binding number.

Why are you more expensive than R3,000 package sites?

Different product. Volume packages optimise for launching fast; our builds start with search research and architecture, which is skilled time. If a template site genuinely fits your situation, our custom-vs-template comparison says so openly.

Do prices include VAT?

VAT treatment will be stated clearly on every quote once registration status is confirmed. Quotes always state the total you will actually pay. The fixed SEO Audit pack is currently shown as a once-off total while we are not VAT registered.
