Website Man journal
One sharp page from R4,000 that turns visitors into messages, or a complete site from R10,000 that gets found on Google. Here is how to pick without guessing. Last updated: September 2026 · by the Website Man team
Side by side
Every option opens fast on a phone, pushes visitors toward WhatsApp, and ships only after you approve the preview.
| Option | Price | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page: one sharp page that makes you the obvious choice | From R4,000 | Customers already find you (referrals, social, flyers) and need one trusted place to check you and message you |
| Animated landing page: everything above, plus scroll movement | From R6,000 | First impressions matter most: salons, venues, guest houses, boutiques where look and feel win the booking |
| Full website: home, about, services, gallery, contact | From R10,000 | Strangers search Google for what you do, or you offer several services that each deserve their own page |
| Ecommerce store: catalog, cart, checkout, accounts, admin | From R15,000 | You sell products online and want checkout built around payment methods South Africans actually use |
Not sure where you land? That is a two minute WhatsApp chat. We will tell you straight, even if the cheapest option is the right one. Full detail lives on the pricing page.
How to pick
Answer these honestly and the right size picks itself.
Referrals, social media, and flyers mean people arrive with intent. A landing page closes that loop fast. Strangers searching Google need a full site with real pages to land on. If nobody can find you yet, read why you need a website first.
One service, one price list, one area: one page says it all. Several distinct services, a gallery worth showing, and a story worth telling need room. A full website gives each part its own plain speaking page.
A landing page needs one batch of content: name, services, prices, photos. A full site needs that times five pages. If your content cupboard is bare, start with the landing page (previews ready within 24 hours of receiving your details) and grow later. See how long each option takes.
Questions
Yes. Many businesses start with a landing page from R4,000 and grow into a full website from R10,000 when enquiries justify it. Nothing is wasted: your content, branding, and domain carry straight over.
No. A custom landing page is designed around your business, opens fast on any phone, and carries one revision round. Cheap is a template with your name swapped in. Ours is the opposite of that.
The full website. More real pages about what you do means more for Google to rank, and SEO plans from R1,000 per month build on that foundation. A landing page still beats having nothing, which is what most competitors have.
Home, about, services, gallery, and contact pages, built to be found on Google for what you actually do. Two revision rounds instead of one, and the first month of maintenance is on us.
