Price is determined by feature count, integration complexity, user roles, and data architecture.

Enterprise
Bespoke digital system with custom workflows, client portals, and third-party integrations.
Note: Custom platforms are quoted per scope after a discovery session. The R85,000 base covers a single-module custom system (client portal, booking management, or lead dashboard). Multi-module platforms are quoted separately.
Custom development costs are driven by system architecture complexity, number of user roles, third-party API integrations, and data modelling requirements. Understand these variables before requesting quotes.
Each additional page adds to design and development time. A 5-page business site is a smaller scope than a 20-page service catalogue. Tell us how many pages you need and we factor it into the tailored quote.
A basic informational site is smaller in scope than one with booking systems, payments, or member portals. Define only the features you will actively use — we scope the build around what you actually need.
Third-party integrations — PayFast, Peach Payments, CRM systems, ERP connections — each require development and testing time. The more integrations, the larger the scope.
Standard design uses proven conversion templates. Professional design adds custom typography and brand palette. Premium UI is a bespoke design system with micro-interactions. Each level adjusts the scope of design work.
Timeline also shapes the scope
Standard delivery is 4–8 weeks. Fast-track is 2–4 weeks. Urgent delivery is under 2 weeks and is subject to capacity — confirm availability before committing to a deadline.

The cost of a custom website in South Africa depends on complexity, page count, and features. A basic business website starts around R28,000. A lead generation system with CMS, forms, and SEO foundations runs R35,000–R55,000. E-commerce platforms start from R45,000. Use our free calculator to get a precise estimate for your specific needs.
Our Online Presence System starts from R28,000 and includes a professionally designed 5–8 page website, mobile optimisation, SEO foundations, lead capture forms, and Google Analytics 4 setup. This is suited to businesses that need a credible online presence without complex features.
Standard delivery takes 4–8 weeks from strategy sign-off to launch. Simpler systems (5–8 pages) are delivered in 3–5 weeks. Larger systems with e-commerce or custom integrations take 6–10 weeks. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.
Price is driven by four key factors: number of pages, feature complexity (booking systems, payments, portals), design level (template vs custom UI), and delivery timeline. A site with a booking system, CMS, and premium design will always cost more than a basic 5-page brochure site — and generate significantly more leads in return.
Yes. Projects are split into four milestone payments: discovery deposit (25%), design approval (25%), development (25%), and launch (25%). This structure means you only pay for completed work. Monthly care plans for hosting, updates, and support start from R1,500/month post-launch.
Every system includes: strategy and UX planning, professional design, full development, mobile optimisation, SSL setup, Google Analytics 4, on-page SEO foundations, lead capture forms, and 30 days of post-launch support. Higher-tier systems add CMS, integrations, and advanced analytics.
