Pricing

Web design pricing Cape Town owners can read up front

Our web design pricing is three packages — R1499, R1999 and R3499 — each with the turnaround time attached. Nothing hidden, no “from” number that doubles once you enquire, and no form standing between you and the figure.

If your job does not fit one of the three, we quote it properly and tell you why it sits outside them. That is the whole of our web design pricing Cape Town price list; there is no second, higher one for people who seem able to afford it.

Why we publish web design pricing at all

Most Cape Town studios will not put a number on a page. You fill in a form, wait two or three days, and get a figure that was set after someone looked at your business and guessed what you would tolerate. It is legal, it is common, and it wastes an enormous amount of everybody’s time.

Published web design pricing does two useful things. It lets you rule us out in fifteen seconds if the budget is wrong, which is a favour to both of us. And it means the quote cannot move depending on how your enquiry is worded or what your website address suggests about your turnover.

The trade-off is that a fixed price needs a defined scope. That is why each package lists a page range and a turnaround rather than promising “unlimited revisions”, which nobody has ever actually honoured. If your job is genuinely bigger than the eCommerce package, we will say so and quote the real number instead of squeezing it into a tier that does not fit.

One thing our web design pricing never includes is a lock-in. No retainer starts automatically, no hosting contract you cannot leave, and no domain sitting on our account. If you want to take the site to another developer next year, you can, and nothing on our side has to be unpicked first.

Two sites built at these prices

Both of these are live, both are run by their owners, and both sit inside the web design pricing above. Open them and judge for yourself whether the figure is fair.

What the price does not include

Being straight about this up front saves everyone a difficult conversation later.

Paid separately
Domain & hosting
You own these, in your name, paid directly to the provider. We will set them up and hand you the logins. We never hold a client’s domain hostage.
Quoted per job
Copywriting & photography
We can write the site or work from what you supply. Professional photography of your premises, team or products is quoted separately.
Optional
Ongoing SEO & care
Packages include the basics. Continuing SEO work, content and maintenance is a monthly arrangement — never compulsory, never auto-renewed without asking.

Questions we get asked about web design pricing

Is three days realistic?
Yes, once we have your content. The clock starts when you approve the prototype and send us text, logo and images. Waiting on content is what makes most website projects run late.
What if I do not like it?
You see a free prototype before you pay anything. If it is not right, you walk away owing nothing. That is the entire point of building it first.
Can I edit it myself?
Yes. Everything is built on WordPress with a visual editor, and we show you how to change text and images before we hand over.
Do you take a deposit?
Message us and we will set out the payment terms in writing before any work starts. No surprises, no invoice you did not expect.
Why is this cheaper than other Cape Town quotes?
Because the scope is defined and we do not carry an office, account managers or a sales team. The build work itself is the same work; you are simply not paying for the overhead wrapped around it.
Are there extra costs later?
Only the ones listed above, and only if you ask for them. Domain and hosting are paid to the provider, not to us. Nothing renews on its own.

Pick one, or ask us which fits.
