Web Design Johannesburg

With us, a custom-designed business website of up to 8 pages costs R15,000 incl. VAT. One that also runs an online store, bookings, a membership site or a learning platform costs from R25,000, and custom development starts from R65,000 after a free first discovery, both incl. VAT. What moves the price is the number of pages, what the site has to do, and who writes the content. The full price list sets out what each includes.

Enough to cover the whole job: the design, the build, the setup for Google, and someone to look after the site once it is live. For comparison, our Business site costs R15,000 incl. VAT, and a care plan, which includes hosting, costs R975 a month incl. VAT. A quote that leaves out hosting, updates or support has not removed those costs, only moved them to later.

A full website, designed, built and ready to launch, costs R15,000 incl. VAT with us for up to 8 pages, or from R25,000 incl. VAT if it also needs a store, bookings, memberships or a learning platform. That covers the custom design, forms, the setup for Google, security, revision rounds and support after launch. It does not cover the words and photographs: you supply those, or we write the copy at R975 a page incl. VAT.

It depends on what the quote includes, which is why two quotes for “a website” can be far apart. When you compare them, check whether the price includes VAT, how many pages it covers, whether the design is custom or a template, who writes the content, and what hosting and support cost after launch. Ours are published and include VAT, from R15,000 for a Business site. More in what the lowest website quotes leave out.

From R15,000 incl. VAT, if that someone is us: a custom-designed site of up to 8 pages, typically ready in two weeks. Payment is a 50% deposit, and the balance on go-live. After launch, you can host the site with us for R450 a month, or choose a care plan, which includes the hosting and adds updates tested on staging first and Wordfence monitoring, from R975 a month, both incl. VAT.

Typically two weeks for a Business site and four weeks for a Professional site. Custom work is scheduled once discovery has fixed the scope. You review the site before it goes live, with two rounds of revisions on Business and three on Professional.

Yes. A redesign is built like a new site, from R15,000 incl. VAT, and Professional includes moving your content across from the existing site. If the current site has been hacked or has stopped working, website rescue starts from R5,200 incl. VAT, plus at least three months on a care plan, paid on top (R2,925 on basic). We rebuild our own work too: Tin Soldier and Something Fab, both clients since 2005, were most recently rebuilt by us in 2025. More in our guide to website redesigns.

We do, if you want us to. Business includes 30 days of support after launch, and Professional 60. After that, a care plan covers updates tested on staging first, daily backups and a restore when you need one, and monitoring, with hosting included: R975 a month, or R2,450 a month with two hours of changes, both incl. VAT. Care plans come with set response times: one business day on the basic plan, and four business hours on the full plan or when a site is down.

Usually both, and we are both. A web designer decides how a site looks and reads; a website developer makes it work, from forms and online payments to connections with the software your business already runs. If you are looking for a website developer in Johannesburg because your site has to do more than present your business, our WordPress development page covers that side of our work.
