Pricing

Straightforward pricing. The kind you can read in one go.

Three ways to get online, one honest price on each — and every one of them now includes your domain and hosting setup, because a website you can't actually visit isn't a website.

Pick the size that fits, add only what you need from the list below, and that's the number. Every add-on has a price next to it, because surprise invoices are a crime. Anything bigger than a standard site gets a real quote, agreed up front before I touch a thing.

And whatever you pay for — you own. Every login, every account, in your name. No leashes, no hostage situations.

Custom · Quoted

from R4,950

Bespoke booking platforms, custom tools, full SEO campaigns — the stuff that lives outside a standard site because no two are the same. Tell me what you're picturing and I'll come back with a real quote, not an "it depends."

What's included in every build

  • Domain registration in your name + all the DNS wiring
  • Hosting set up and your site deployed — logins handed straight to you
  • Mobile responsive — looks right on every screen, not just yours
  • On-page SEO basics (meta titles, descriptions, sitemap)
  • Copy polish — send me messy notes and rough ideas; shaping them into proper website words is part of the job
  • WhatsApp click-to-chat button on every site (a full contact form comes in on the Standard Build and up)
  • 1 round of revisions (2 rounds on the Standard Build and up)
  • SSL setup
  • Handover document with every login, password, and renewal date

Already own your domain and hosting? R350 off.

The discount applies where your existing domain and hosting are accessible and registered in your name. If a previous developer still controls them, getting access back is quoted separately — and yes, that situation is exactly why I run things the way I do.

What it costs to run The monthly + per-sale bits — paid to Shopify & the gateway, not me
  • Shopify plan ~R568–R747 / mo Shopify's Basic plan, billed to you by Shopify directly. Your product count never forces an upgrade — only needing extra staff logins bumps you to Grow (~R1,465–R1,943/mo).
  • Payment gateway ~3.2–3.5% / sale A South African gateway (PayFast or Peach) takes a small cut per transaction, plus a rand or two flat. R0 monthly, paid straight to the gateway.
  • Skipping Shopify Payments +2% / sale If you use an outside gateway instead of Shopify's own, Shopify adds a 2% surcharge on each sale — something we'll weigh up together before deciding.

Every one of these is billed to you, in your name — I don't mark any of it up or hold the accounts. Before we build, I'll run the real numbers for your case so there are no surprises on the first invoice.

Add-Ons — Fixed Prices, No Asterisks

Bolt on only what you need. Tap any line for a plain-English explainer — every one has a number, no surprises.

Get found

Business email setup (Google Workspace or Zoho) R190

A professional you@yourbusiness.co.za inbox, working on your phone before we're done talking. This is a one-time setup fee — I do the fiddly part (MX records, deliverability, the lot) so your mail actually lands in inboxes instead of spam folders. The monthly subscription runs on your card, in your name; I just make it work. Want premium and familiar? Google Workspace. Want barely-any-cost? Zoho. I'll set up whichever fits.

Google Analytics 4 — installation + config R190

Analytics installed properly, plus a one-page "how to read this" cheat sheet written in human. You'll see how many people visit, where they came from, and which page they bailed on — facts, not vibes.

Google Business Profile — setup + optimisation R190

Your business on Google Maps and Search, set up and optimised — categories, service areas, photos, the lot. When someone nearby searches what you do at 9pm with a burst geyser, this is what decides whether you exist. You also get a review link to send happy customers, which is how this thing snowballs.

"Get Found" bundle R490

Business email, Google Analytics, and Google Business Profile together — R80 off buying them separately. The three things that turn "I built a website" into "people are actually finding it."

Words & content

Copywriting (per page) R150/page

Copy polish is already included — send me anything and I'll shape it. But if you've got nothing at all for a page? I'll interview you, learn the business, and write it myself, R150 per page. You talk, I type.

Blog + CMS (Keystatic) R550

A blog with a simple editor (Keystatic — free, open-source, Git-based, no subscription) so you can publish posts yourself — no code, no calling me every time you have something to say. Includes a training session and a written how-to guide. I build it once, teach you once, and then you're independent. That's the point.

Gallery section R250

A clean, responsive image gallery to show off your work, your products, or your space — looks sharp on phones too.

Additional page (beyond 5) R150/page

The Standard Build covers five pages. Need a menu, a portfolio, or an extra service page? Each one beyond five is a flat R150.

Sell & book

Light commerce R850

Selling a handful of products? I'll wire in simple, working "buy" buttons using a hosted cart tool bolted onto your site — no bloated store to maintain. It costs nothing at everyday sales volumes; if you ever sell enough that the cart tool's own fee kicks in, I'll tell you the exact number before it happens. Payment gateway fees (a few percent per sale, plus a small flat fee) are separate and go straight to the gateway, never through me.

Bookings embed R250

Let people book appointments or slots straight from your site — synced to your calendar, sending its own reminders. The free tier of a proper booking tool (think Cal.com or Calendly) covers almost every small business; if you specifically need multiple staff calendars or advanced features, I'll flag the paid tier's cost before we add it.

Extras

Extra revision round R150

Two rounds of changes come standard. Want another full round after that? R150 per round, no drama.

Site Rescue Audit R250

Already have a website that isn't pulling its weight? R250 gets you a straight written verdict: what's broken (speed, mobile, Google visibility, who actually owns your accounts), what fixing it costs, or whether you're honestly better off rebuilding. No sales fog — if a small fix solves it, that's what the report will say. And if we do rebuild, the R250 comes off the build price.

Optional aftercare

The Care Plan · R450/month — cancel anytime. The easy button for your website.

Here's the honest truth: your site is yours, and you can absolutely run it yourself — I hand over every login and a guide for the bits that come up. Plenty of people do exactly that.

But most don't want to think about their website at all. They want it to just keep working while they get on with running the actual business. That's what this is for.

Every month, you get

  • Your hosting and domain renewals managed — nothing lapses, nothing expires quietly at 2am
  • Up to 2 small content changes a month (new prices, updated hours, a swapped photo — the stuff that actually comes up)
  • Uptime monitoring — if your site goes down, I usually know before you do
  • A short monthly summary of your traffic, in plain English
  • Priority WhatsApp support — you skip the queue

For less than the cost of the first thing that goes wrong, your website becomes something you genuinely never have to think about again.

And the same rule as everything else applies: every account stays registered in your name. Cancel anytime, take everything with you, owe me nothing further. A care plan you can't leave isn't care — it's a leash, and I don't sell those.

Not sure what you need?

Let's figure it out together.

That's completely normal — most people aren't sure, and that's exactly my job. Tell me about your business and what you're trying to do, and I'll point you to the right build with only the add-ons that actually earn their keep. If it turns out you need something bigger, I'll put together a proper custom quote — agreed up front, no "it depends." No pressure, no jargon, no obligation.

How it works

A 50% deposit gets your build booked and started; the balance is due before your site goes live. Everything I make for you is handed over in full — code, logins, accounts, all in your name. You're never locked in, and you never need my permission to walk away. That's the whole idea: get found, and stay owned.

A note on recurring costs What it costs to keep your site live

What you pay me is once-off. To keep a website live, there are a couple of small ongoing costs that belong to you — and I'd rather you hear about them now than when a renewal email lands.

  • Domain (.co.za) ~R150–R300 / year Registered in your name, renewed directly through the registrar. It's yours whether you keep working with me or not.
  • Hosting usually R0 / year Genuinely. Because of how I build (modern, lightweight sites — not bloated page-builders), most of my clients' sites run on world-class infrastructure that costs nothing at their size. If your project genuinely needs paid hosting — a busy store, heavy traffic — I'll tell you the exact number before we start, and the account will be in your name.
  • Business email near-zero to ~R180 / user / month Only if you choose to add it. A lean option like Zoho costs almost nothing; premium Google Workspace is around R130–R180 a month per inbox. Your call, your card, your account.
  • Selling online ~3% per sale Payment gateways charge a small percentage per sale, and a full Shopify store adds its own monthly subscription. If you're selling, I'll lay the real numbers out before we build.

I don't mark any of this up and I don't hold the accounts. Once it's handed over, the billing — what little there is — is entirely yours.
