Pricing

Website prices in South Africa

Published openly: packages from R4 500, SEO audits from R2 950, monthly Search Care at R3 950. Ranges are indicative; every project gets a fixed, itemised quote after one scoping conversation — the quote is the binding number.

Fixed-price once-off services

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

What moves the price up or down

01

Up: more pages with unique content, copywriting help, large product ranges, integrations, B2B pricing rules, custom functionality.

02

Down: fewer pages done properly, content you supply in our structure, phased delivery (site now, systems later), reusing clean existing assets.

03

Never a factor: hidden hosting mark-ups, surprise licence fees, or hostage pricing at handover — you own everything, always.

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.

Why is ecommerce from around R45 000 when WooCommerce shops look cheaper?

Theme and quick store installs usually price a look and a launch. Our indicative ecommerce band prices search-first product architecture, South African payment and delivery wiring, and purchase-funnel measurement from day one. If a theme store genuinely fits, we will say so — and may steer you to a catalogue or simpler package instead of forcing checkout.

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.
