Plain-English guides for SA business owners.

These guides are for the person who runs the business and ends up running the website too: the tradesperson, the consultant, the shop owner, the practice manager. They answer the questions that come up before you commit money to a site and after you launch one, written for South African conditions rather than borrowed from overseas advice that assumes a different currency, a different privacy law, and visitors on uncapped fibre.

If you are starting from scratch, read the South African business website checklist first, then look at what website maintenance costs in South Africa so the monthly figures hold no surprises. If you already have a site and want to know whether it is pulling its weight, when to redesign your website is the honest place to start. Each guide stands on its own, so you can read one in five minutes and move on, or work through the set if you are planning a bigger move.

We wrote these because the website conversation in South Africa is full of jargon and quiet upsells, and a business owner deserves plain figures in rands and a clear picture of what they are paying for. Nothing here is a sales pitch. When a guide touches on something we do, we say so and link to it, and where the honest answer is that your current site is fine, we say that too. If a guide raises a question we have not covered, the fastest way to ask is to book a call, and you are welcome to read the detail of our three plans and pricing whenever you are ready.
