Each website design and development project is unique. The cost of a new site will depend on a number of factors such as: the number of pages, the functionality requirements, how the site is coded, if it requires a content management system (CMS) and which CMS platform is the best fit, does the website need ecommerce functionality, and is it a pre-built template or a custom designed website. Another functionality that can add to the cost of a website build is integration with 3rd party software. A new website could cost anywhere from R1,500 and could be as much as R150,000+. As mentioned, every single website project is unique and the project budgets depend on those different components. Our goal is to assess your needs through a free consultation call and then we would provide a detailed quote based on the best website solution for your business’ needs based on the information provided. You could also email us your website project details to review and we will do our best to provide you with a quote within a few days.

Depending on the complexity of the website, on average it will take 7 days for a small site and up to 6 months for a large custom ecommerce website. The website design and development turnaround time is often affected by how quickly we get feedback and approvals from clients

Yes, definitely! Having a fully responsive website that adjusts for all screen sizes and devices is more important than ever. We work very hard to create a user-friendly responsive web design that looks amazing on current devices and various screen sizes.

It’s crucial that we receive your input and feedback in the web design process and testing phase. When we start collaborating with a new client for a new website, we will provide a link to an online brief questionnaire that will ask for information about your industry, business goals, competitors, target audience and your likes and dislikes. This information helps us create a website that you will love, but also that your end-users will love too. We will also make suggestions on the website architecture and recommend functionality to meet your business and client needs. Once the site architecture is approved, we start the design process and will be communicating with you often. We will send you layouts to review and may ask questions to confirm content. This is where it’s crucial that we get your emails responses in a timely manner and feedback concerning the designs. Once all web page designs are approved, we start development. Once the newly developed site is ready for review, we will require your time again to review the live beta site and provide feedback.

Websites can get very pricey and the cost is based on the functionality requirements. The larger the site, the more time it will take to design all of the distinct web pages and for the developer to code it. Websites require a lot of planning, well-written engaging content and graphic creation, search engine optimization, speed optimization, responsive testing, hosting setup, and ongoing maintenance which all contribute to the cost. Websites can take several weeks to months to create, some have taken us 10 months to complete. Professional custom designed and developed websites are an investment just like any other marketing effort. It’s your online presences and should pay great dividends when it’s done right.

If you have a current website, we can pull the content from there. If it’s a new business, we will require the content to come from you. You are the expert in your new business venture, so it’s recommended that the information is provided to us. Don’t worry if you are not a strong writer, we can definitely help. We provide creative SEO writing services to all of our graphic design and website design clients. We can compose the text for all of your web pages including your blog articles, but we will still need assistance from you. When writing for our clients, we will create the brand language and write easy to read, engaging text with strong headlines, subheading and we will also break the content down into digestible sections and ensure it’s SEO friendly with keywords. This service is quoted based on the number of web pages needed and the number of words for the blog articles.

After our initial scheduled call to discuss your website needs and answer any questions, most of the communication will take place over email. We can schedule periodic calls to discuss ideas, however our preference is to use email which documents all of the questions, information and requested changes, that way nothing gets missed.

We will require that you provide us with the following: 1. Company logo – if you need a new logo designed, we can do that too. 2. Photos or graphics you’d like us to use on your website (group photos, headshots, building, workplace, or gallery photos) 3. Content for the website – if you need copywriting assistance, we can definitely help! 4. Links to uploaded Videos (such as YouTube or Vimeo uploaded video links) 5. Hosting and domain registrar information.

How we build the new site will depend on your business’ goals, budget, and situation. We will design and develop your website from scratch using a number of tools. We start with photoshop to design the web pages and then develop the site using a content management system (CMS) or custom coding. The most popular type of websites we create use WordPress CMS, but we can also build HTML5, Magento, Drupal, Joomla, and Shopify websites too. Here is an overview of the different CMS software. When we discuss your website needs, we will determine the best way to develop your new website.

If the best option for your new website is to build the new website with a content management system, then you will be able to manage your website via a backend dashboard, once its completed. If you do not have any experience with backend site changes, we can provide you with an instruction document with easy-to-understand steps so you can change text and add new photos as needed.

Yes, if you already have a website that needs improvements, we can definitely assist you in a website design refresh or fix any issues it may have.
