The full list

Sixteen answers, zero fine print.

How much does a website cost?

Landing pages from R4,000, animated pages from R6,000, full websites from R10,000, and online stores from R15,000. One price, agreed before work starts.

Do I pay before I approve the design?

No. You see the finished preview first and approve it before you pay anything.

How fast can my page go live?

Most landing page previews are ready within 24 hours of receiving your details. Full websites and stores take longer, and your timeline is quoted upfront.

Which areas do you serve?

Website Man is based in Bloemfontein, Durban, and Cape Town, and works with businesses anywhere in South Africa.

What if I have no photos or logo?

Send what you have. The team drafts with it and refines everything in the revision round.

Do I need a website if I have a Facebook page?

Google ranks real websites while social pages often stay invisible, and an outdated page convinces nobody. Your own site answers everything in one trusted place.

Should I get a landing page or a full website?

If customers already find you through referrals or social media, a landing page from R4,000 closes the loop. If strangers must discover you on Google, you need a full website from R10,000. Compare both in the landing page versus full website guide.

What does the R15,000 online store include?

A full product catalog, cart, checkout, customer accounts, and an admin dashboard, all mobile-first. You approve the preview before you pay.

Are there monthly costs after launch?

Only what you choose: maintenance from R500 per month, SEO from R1,000 per month, ads from R2,500 per month. Domain and hosting are paid directly to the provider with no markup.

How many revision rounds do I get?

One revision round is included with landing pages and stores, two with full websites. You approve the finished preview before paying.

Who owns my domain and hosting?

You do. Everything is set up in your name and paid directly to the provider. Website Man marks up nothing and holds nothing hostage.

What is the difference between the R4,000 and R6,000 page?

Both are one sharp page. The R6,000 animated version adds scroll movement that makes each section feel planned, which suits businesses where look and feel win the booking.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO Essentials from R1,000 per month, Premium from R3,000, Complete from R8,000. One business per niche holds the active subscription.

Can you put my business on Google Maps?

Yes. Google Maps setup costs R1,500 once-off, with ongoing Maps care from R1,000 per month. Photos, hours, services, and reviews, all done.

Can I start small and upgrade later?

Yes. Many businesses start with a landing page from R4,000 and grow into a full website from R10,000 when enquiries justify it. Content, branding, and domain carry straight over.

What do you need from me to start?

Your business name, your area, and whatever you have: services, prices, photos. Message it all on WhatsApp and the team takes it from there.
