Website design prices in South Africa, published up front.
Because you should be able to plan before you call us.
Every service has a starting figure and three tiers: websites, software, mobile apps, photography, brand design and marketing retainers. The numbers below are honest starting ranges, not bait. After a scoping call we confirm one fixed number in writing.
Website Design
A cheap template site looks generic, cannot be self-edited and never ranks. An over-built agency site takes six months you do not have. We build the version in between: researched, on-brand, indexable, and handed over in weeks.
Software Development
If your team re-types the same information into three places, quotes by hand, or tracks jobs on WhatsApp, that is not a discipline problem. It is a tooling problem, and it is measurable. We build the system that removes it.
Application Development
An app only earns its cost when there are enough repeat customers to justify a permanent place on their home screen. We will tell you honestly whether you are there yet, and build it properly when you are.
Photography
Visitors can tell the difference between your business and a stock library within about a second. Real imagery is the cheapest credibility you can buy, and the only asset on this list that improves every other one.
Brand Design
Most businesses come to us for a logo and leave with something more useful: a written position, a colour and type system, and rules that let anyone in the company produce work that looks like it belongs to you.
Brand Marketing
Most marketing fails on consistency, not creativity. A retainer buys you a calendar, a person accountable for it, and a monthly report that says plainly what worked and what did not.
The work that starts after launch.
Month to month, thirty days' notice, no lock-in. Attach any of these to a project or run them on their own.
Website maintenance
Hosting oversight, security monitoring, backups, updates and a monthly window for changes.
SEO retainer
Technical fixes, content plan, local search and monthly ranking reporting for your priority terms.
Google & Meta Ads
Campaign build and management in your own ad accounts. Media spend billed separately, never marked up.
Social media management
Calendar, copy, scheduling and community replies across your two or three main platforms.
Brand care
Ongoing collateral, template updates and design support so the identity stays consistent as you grow.
Content shoot retainer
A recurring shoot day so the marketing calendar never runs out of real imagery.
The things clients ask first.
If yours is not here, ask it directly. We answer honestly, including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
Ask us somethingWhy are you more expensive than the R299-a-month websites?
Because those are templates with your logo dropped in. There is no research, no positioning, no SEO structure and usually no way for you to edit anything. They are cheap until you rebuild in eighteen months. Our pricing reflects the research and the fact that we only take on work we can do properly.
Are these prices fixed?
The published figures are honest starting ranges. After a scoping call we confirm a single fixed number in writing, and that number does not move unless you change the scope.
How long does a project take?
A Starter website is usually two to three weeks from receiving your content. Growth builds run four to six weeks. Software and applications depend entirely on scope, which we set out in the proposal.
Do I own the website, domain and files?
Yes, all of it. Domains, hosting and ad accounts are registered in your name from the first week, and source files are handed over at the end. If you ever leave us, you leave with everything you paid for.
Do I have to take a retainer?
No. Retainers are optional on every service and run month to month with thirty days' notice. We recommend one for software and applications, where quiet breakages are expensive to find late.
Do you work with clients outside Gauteng?
Yes. We are based in Centurion and work with businesses across South Africa. Photography does carry travel outside the greater Pretoria and Johannesburg area, which we quote up front.
Do you white-label for other agencies?
Yes. We work under NDA with agencies and consultants who need build capacity across web, software and photography. Talk to Elandré about ongoing rates.
What do you need from me to start?
A short brief, your content or a sense of what it will say, and a decision-maker who can approve. We handle everything else, including telling you what is missing.
