FAQ

Common questions

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price you see is what you pay for development. Hosting is optional and starts from R100/month (or R1,000/year). You'll also need a domain from ~R150/year — we'll guide you on everything.

How long does a website take to build?

Most projects are delivered within 14 working days from the date we receive your content. Ecommerce stores typically take 21 days.

Do I own the website after it's built?

Yes, 100%. You own the code, the design, the content, and the domain. We hand everything over on launch day.

What if I need changes after launch?

All plans include a post-launch support period. After that, we offer affordable maintenance packages or you can manage the site yourself via the CMS.

Can you help with hosting and domain setup?

Yes — we offer managed SA-based hosting starting from R100/month (or R1,000/year) for websites and R200/month (R2,000/year) for ecommerce stores. We handle the full technical setup so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Do you work with businesses outside Bloemfontein and Potchefstroom?

Yes — we work with clients across South Africa. Everything is done remotely via email, WhatsApp, and video calls.
