Websites are quoted as fixed-price packages so you can budget before you commit. Pick the closest match, add what you need, and the proposal comes back with that exact figure and a dated schedule.

Web Development Pricing

Four fixed-price packages, from a one-page launch site to a custom platform. Every number below is what you pay, not a starting point that drifts.

4 ways to do this, priced

Nothing here is a starting point that quietly grows. If your project needs something outside a package, it appears as a separate line before you sign.

The small print

Written here rather than buried in a contract

  • 01

    All prices exclude VAT and are payable 50% on acceptance, 50% on launch. Custom Platform work runs on a phased schedule.

  • 02

    Hosting is not included in build prices. Care plans start at R450 a month and are set up during launch week.

  • 03

    Third-party costs (domains, stock imagery, premium fonts, payment gateway fees) are passed through at cost and listed in the proposal.

  • 04

    Every package includes a 30-day snag window: anything broken in what I delivered gets fixed at no charge.

Web

Design and build in the same pair of hands, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the browser.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We map every page and every state before a single pixel gets drawn. Surprises are expensive later.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Wireframes and content model. This is where most of the real thinking happens.

  3. 03

    Design

    Two rounds of visual design on key templates, then the rest of the system built out from the approved language.

  4. 04

    Build

    Front-end development with weekly staging links so you watch it come together rather than wait for a reveal.

  5. 05

    Launch

    Pre-flight checklist, deploy, training session, and a month of me on hand for the small things.

Questions

About these prices specifically

General questions about fees, ownership and revisions are answered on the FAQ page.

Why is a fixed price possible when other quotes are hourly?

Because the scope is agreed in writing before anything starts. If you later want something outside it, I quote that separately rather than absorbing it and quietly extending the timeline.

What happens if the project needs more than two revision rounds?

Additional rounds are R650 an hour and I will tell you before we cross that line, not on the final invoice. In practice it happens on roughly one project in ten.

Do you work with WordPress?

I maintain WordPress sites on care plans and will happily take yours on. For new builds I use Next.js or Shopify, which are faster, cheaper to host and considerably less work to keep secure.

Can I pay monthly instead of upfront?

For Business Website and above, yes: three or six equal monthly payments, with the site going live on the final one. There is no interest, but the schedule is written into the contract.
