How a website quote works
Four parts.
One total.
We scope every website into hours before work starts. Your quote adds four parts together, so you can see what you’re paying for.
01
Base fee
A set fee for every project: R9,000 on the Standard rate.
02
Scoped hours
The hours your project needs, at the rate you choose.
03
Fixed costs
Anything the project needs to buy, such as licences or premium plugins.
04
Project management
Time to plan the work, run the reviews and keep you updated.
For example, a 50-hour project on the Standard rate with no fixed costs: R9,000 base fee, R50,000 for the hours and R8,850 for project management, making R67,850 in all, excluding VAT.

Each plan is a three-month commitment, run as a sprint with a review of the results at the end. There are no setup or hidden fees: one flat monthly fee plus the ad budget we agree. Other services, such as SEO, are quoted separately. A creative asset is a still image, animation, GIF or video made for one placement.
Website care
Your website,
looked after.
R5,000 a month per site
A care plan keeps your website updated, backed up and monitored after launch. Plans run for at least six months, then month to month until you give 30 days’ notice, and the rate per site comes down when we look after several.
01
Updates and security
WordPress, plugin and theme updates, security patches, and SSL, firewall and malware monitoring.
02
Backups
Weekly backups stored off site, ready if your site ever needs restoring.
03
Fixes and small changes
Bug fixes, performance tuning and minor content updates.
04
Search and support
On-page SEO monitoring, keyword reports and support tickets, with a response within two hours for critical outages.
