Websites

A simple one-page website can start from as little as R2,500 with the average website costing around R5,500. The number of additional web pages and required functionality will increase the price. I will provide time and cost estimates as soon as we have discussed your requirements. The speed and format in which you provide the necessary website content play a big role in keeping the cost down.

Yes, absolutely! This all depends on your computer and internet skills. I provide administration access to many of my clients who make changes to text and images as required.

I also provide a "how-to" document, giving you step-by-step instructions. The benefit of this is that there is no cost to you and allows you to update your website with having to wait for a webmaster.

Of course I am here to help with everything, from info updates to website structural changes. Time spent by me working on your website is kept in a timesheet and included when I invoice you for hosting.

Aside from your monthly website hosting fees, there are no recurring maintenance fees. Should you request website content changes, I effect those changes and log my time in my timesheet at the agreed hourly rate. I bill you for actual time spent, based on 10 minute intervals and not per hour for minor website updates.

When we renew the 6-monthly or 12-monthly hosting period, I include these timesheet entries with the invoice. Please remember there is no hosting contract, if you are not happy with my service, you can cancel at any time.

1. We start with a brief chat to discuss your business.
2. I tell you what I need from you (text and images)
3. Once I have received this from you, your new website is normally ready in less than one week.

Although I am happy to use my initiative, I prefer to be guided by you with regards to the required look-and-feel, so that together, we can customize your website to reflect YOU, your company branding, colour schemes & fonts.

Important Information:

For new websites, once the project is completed, the first round of changes are done at no cost to you. Additional changes are then billed at my hourly rate.
When you become my client, I request to host your website. This allows me to work on a platform and hosting company that I trust and am familiar with.

I bring roughly twenty years of experience to the table. With this experience, I can say with relative confidence that I know what works and what doesn't work.

You can of course ask your "IT whizz kid" next door or your nephew to make you a cool website, but why cut corners on the most important marketing tool for your business?

My clients know that they can expect rapid response rates and trustworthy advice - as if it was my own business.
