The problem

Most SA businesses are invisible online.

If they cannot find you — or cannot trust what they find — they book someone else.

Same search. Same suburb. The difference is what Google had to show.

  1. No website, no credibility

    Most people look you up before they call. Nothing to find reads as a risk — however good the work is.

  2. Few reviews, no trust

    Five reviews loses to eighty, every time. Almost nobody has a system for asking, so the count never moves.

  3. AI search is changing discovery

    ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview answer these searches directly now. A site they cannot read, they cannot recommend.

The catch

Why we build it free.

The first thing everyone asks. Here is the honest answer.

See exactly what the R350 covers
  1. The monthly is the business, not the build

    We do not make our money on the build. We make it on the R350 a month — which only keeps coming if the site stays worth keeping.

  2. It means we only earn if you stay

    No contract, no lock-in. The only thing keeping you here is whether the site is doing its job — which puts the pressure on us, not you.

  3. And if you leave, the site comes off our hosting

    Said plainly rather than buried: stop the monthly and the site stops loading. No penalty, no exit fee, no awkward phone call — just tell us.

FAQ

Free website design: common questions

What is the Google Business Profile setup for R350?
It is a once-off job, not a monthly fee. Your Google Business Profile is what appears on Google Maps and in the map box at the top of local searches, and that box takes most of the clicks on a local search. We set the right categories, list all your services, fill in every field, seed the questions customers actually ask, and load your first set of photos. Most profiles are half empty, which is why they do not show up.
How long does it take to build my website?
Most websites go live within 7 days of receiving your brief, photos, and content. Larger sites with more pages may take a day or two longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do I need to provide my own content and photos?
We'll ask you a few questions about your business, and we handle the copywriting from there. If you have photos, great — send them through. If not, we use high-quality stock images that fit your industry while you arrange professional photos.
What does 'AI-search optimized' actually mean?
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews for a recommendation — like 'best plumber in Joburg' — AI tools pull from websites with clean structure, clear service descriptions, and proper schema markup. We build your site to show up in those answers, not just traditional search.
How does the Google review campaign work?
After your website is live, we set up an automated flow that prompts your happy customers to leave a Google review — via WhatsApp or SMS at the right moment. Reviews come in consistently over time without you having to chase anyone manually.
Do you also manage my Google Business Profile?
Yes. We set it up properly, fill in all the details, and make sure it's consistent with your website. A well-maintained Google Business Profile is one of the biggest factors in local search ranking.
What industries do you work with?
Any SA business that relies on local customers — plumbers, doctors, dentists, lawyers, real estate agents, physios, gyms, restaurants, trades, retail, and more. If customers Google for what you do, you need this.
Is the website really free? What is the catch?
It is genuinely free to design and build — no setup fee, no deposit, no once-off cost. The catch, stated plainly, is that we do not make our money on the build. We make it on the R350 a month that keeps the site hosted, managed and updated. Charging thousands upfront would pay us once; this way we get paid for as long as the site is worth keeping, which means it has to stay worth keeping. There is no contract and no lock-in, so the only thing keeping you with us is whether the site is doing its job.
What happens if I cancel?
You tell us and we stop the monthly. There is no notice period, no penalty and no exit fee. Because the R350 covers hosting, your domain and updates, the site comes off our hosting when the payments stop and it will no longer load. We would rather say that upfront than have it come as a surprise. If you want to move the site elsewhere, talk to us and we will sort it out with you.
Can I update my website myself?
We handle updates for you — just message us on WhatsApp. If you'd prefer a self-editable site, we can discuss a CMS option during your quote call.
