Small business websites

Small business website design, priced before you ask

Small business website design for owners who need to look credible online without an agency budget. From R1499, finished in three days, with the price printed on this page rather than sent after a sales call.

Most of our clients are one- to ten-person businesses in Cape Town. The site has one job: turn the people who find you into calls, WhatsApps and bookings.

What small business website design should include

The basics, done properly
Your services
One clear page per service, written the way customers search for it. Not a single page that tries to say everything at once.
Trust
Proof people can check
Real photos, real reviews, your address and registration details. Small businesses win on trust, so we put it where people look.
Contact
Every way to reach you
WhatsApp, call and email buttons that work on a phone, plus a form that lands in your inbox rather than a spam folder.
Search
Found on Google
Titles, descriptions and a Google Business Profile set up from day one, so the site starts working for search straight away.

Why small businesses lose work to a bad website

Most people check a business online before they call it, even when a friend recommended you. If the site is slow, out of date or hard to use on a phone, they move to the next result and you never find out.

The fix is rarely more pages or more design. It is a short, clear site that says what you do, where you do it, what it roughly costs and how to get hold of you. That is what our small business website design is built around.

You also keep control. The site runs on WordPress, the domain is registered in your name, and you get the logins when we hand over. If you want to change a price or add a photo next month, you can do it yourself.

Our packages start at R1499 for a two- to ten-page site and R3499 if you need to sell online. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

How a small business website design project runs

1. Message us. Send what your business does and what you need, on WhatsApp or by email. You get a price and a date in writing, usually the same day.

2. Free prototype. We look at your competitors and build a working version before you pay anything. If it is not right, you walk away owing nothing.

3. The build. Once you approve the prototype and send your content, a standard site takes three days and an online shop takes seven.

4. Handover. The domain and hosting are registered in your name, and you get the logins plus a short walk-through of the editor.

Small business website design follows the same four steps as every site we build, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.
