Cape Town quotes vary more than anywhere in the country, so ask what sits behind the number: page count, revision rounds, and who owns hosting.

Running costs

The build is once-off. Running it is not.

Three honest answers about what a Cape Town site costs after launch.

1. The build is once-off.

Landing page from R4,000 and animated page from R6,000, each with one revision round. Full websites from R10,000 with two revision rounds and the first month of maintenance included. Domain and hosting are paid directly to the provider with no markup from us. Most previews are ready within 24 hours of receiving your business details. See what R4,000 should buy.

2. Maps puts you in front of locals.

Show Up on Google Maps is R1,500 once-off for listing setup with photos, hours, services, and reviews. Ongoing Maps optimisation runs from R1,000 per month. For a Cape Town plumber, salon, or takeaway, this is often what turns near me searches into calls. See how to get on Google Maps.

3. Traffic and upkeep are optional.

Maintenance runs from R500 per month for backups, updates, monitoring, and small changes. SEO plans run from R1,000 per month and Google Ads management runs from R2,500 per month. If your customers already find you on social media, the page alone can pay for itself. If strangers must discover you, plan for it.
