Final price depends on add-ons, pages and features. Rush delivery adds 25%.
Cheaper than an agency doesn't mean cheaper than it should be. Here's exactly where the savings come from.
No account managers, no project coordinators, no office overhead — you work directly with your developer.
We build on React and TanStack — faster sites, better Google scores, fewer plugins to patch every month.
Forms, CMS, lead capture — already built and battle-tested, so you don't pay custom-dev rates for solved problems.
Bigger agencies often resell hosting, design and dev at 2–3x. We don't. What you pay is what the work costs.
A 4-page site costs less than a 10-page site. We scope this up-front so there are no surprises.
Bookings, member areas, calculators, multi-language, integrations — each adds design and dev time.
If you supply text and images, the build is faster. Need help? Copywriting is quoted per page.
Number of products, variants, shipping rules, and gateways all influence the final figure.
It depends on who builds it. A 2026 survey of 56 South African agencies puts the average 5-page website at about R6,633 — but that's the budget/template tier. For a quality custom small-business site you should expect R15,000–R35,000, with around R16,000 being a fair mid-market figure. Mid-size agencies typically quote R40,000–R150,000 for the same brief, and enterprise web apps run from R150,000 up past R1 million.
We run an independent studio rather than a 20-person agency. There are no account managers, no resold hosting markups, and we build on modern React stacks that don't need a small army of plugins to maintain. We also reuse our own in-house toolkit for forms, CMS and lead capture — so you're not paying custom-dev rates for problems we've already solved. The deliverable is the same quality; the invoice is smaller.
Templates work for very simple sites, but they're slow, generic and a pain to change later. The SA budget-tier average is around R6,633, and most clients end up rebuilding within 12–18 months. A custom site loads faster, ranks better on Google, fits your brand and grows with your business — which usually pays for itself within a few new customers.
Yes — we take a 50% deposit to start, and the balance is due on launch. For larger projects we split into three milestone payments.
Hosting is included in our template website subscriptions. For a custom package, hosting on Monavilo systems is optional at R500/month alongside the build price. Domain registration and renewal arrangements are confirmed in your quote.
For larger Business and E-commerce builds we offer split payments over 2–4 months — chat to us in your quote.
