Question 1

How much does it cost to build a website in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope, but as a rough guide builds start from around R10 000 and go up from there. A straightforward site — a handful of pages, a contact form, a booking or enquiry flow — sits at the lower end. A larger site with an online shop, payment gateways, member logins or a lot of pages to design costs considerably more. What moves the number is the size of the scope, how many pages need designing, how many outside systems the site has to talk to, and how clear the requirements are to start with. The free scope puts all of that on paper first, and only once you have approved it do we put a written estimate to exactly what it says.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a website?

Accepted Answer

Again it comes down to the scope: anywhere from about 5 days to 4 months. A small site — a landing page with a lead form, a one-page brochure site, a simple booking flow — can be live inside a week. A larger site with an online shop, member logins, integrations and a page you can edit yourself runs closer to two to four months. The scope document commits to a handover date before anything is built, and that is the date we work to. We build in one-week sprints, so there is a working link to click through every week rather than one big reveal at the end.

Question 3

Do I own the code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The code, the database and the hosting and domain accounts are all in your name, handed over on a repository you control. If you ever stop working with us, nothing switches off and any developer can pick it up.

Question 4

I am not technical. Will I understand what is going on?

Accepted Answer

That is the main thing we design around. We explain every technical choice in plain English, you get a written scope you could hand to any developer, and every week there is a real screen to click through instead of a status report. You should not need to speak developer to get a website built. If you are not yet sure what you want built, that is normal — the first call is for working it out.

Question 5

Do you work outside Pretoria?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are based in Pretoria but we work with founders and businesses across South Africa, including Johannesburg and Cape Town. Projects run remote-first, with on-site sessions for kick-off and training where that makes sense. Tell us where you are on the call.
