Price drivers
What changes the price
- Number of pages.
Each service and each area you want to rank for needs its own page.
- Who writes the words.
Good copy takes time. Writing it yourself saves money; having it written well brings more calls.
- Features.
Online bookings, quote forms, payments, member areas and links to other systems all add work.
- Design.
A tailored design costs more than adapting a proven layout.
- Content you supply.
Real photos and clear information from you make the project faster.
Forgotten costs
The costs people forget
- Your domain name,
paid every year
- Hosting,
paid monthly or yearly
- Business email,
if you want it on your own domain
- Platform fees,
for Webflow, Framer, Shopify and paid WordPress plugins
- Care and updates,
so the site stays secure and fast
- Photos,
if you need a photographer
Builder or designer
Website builder or web designer?
A builder like Wix or Squarespace costs less to start, and suits a business that has the time to set it up and keep it going. A designer costs more up front and gives you a site planned around what your customers search for and what makes them call.
If you're not sure, start with the question that matters: how many enquiries is your site bringing in now?

Questions
Questions
Why do prices vary so much between companies?
Mostly because of what's included: writing, number of pages, design time, and care after launch. Ask every company what's in the price.
Is a cheap website worth it?
It can be, if it says clearly what you do and how to reach you. It isn't worth it if you can't edit it, don't own it or it never brings in work.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. Site on a Plan is R1,150 a month for 12 months, with hosting and care included.
