If you are just starting up your business and only require a quick and easy straight
forward content website, then why not go for a
R99 website package? And if this package suits your needs, but require more
email addresses and or more content pages, then you can go onto either the R150 or the R200 packages?
These websites are solely for displaying info on your business. But can give you
that quick professional image you want!
If you want a technically challenging website, that can have an array of functions
on it, such as an online booking form, or perhaps the above Content websites aren’t
quite what you had in mind, then never fear, why not enquire about a quote for your
website? This would fall under a Tailor-made
website! Our most popular Tailor-made website normally starts at around
R275 and works upwards from there, so you don’t have to worry about an extremely
high price for a website. We will make sure that it fits your pocket!
If you want to sell stuff online, then don’t think twice, the best package for you
is the Shopping websites.

The design of your website is the key to attracting and keeping your clients on
your website. Most of the time we will sort this out and have the expertise and
knowledge of website design, and will make a few possible suggestions as to the
look and feel of your website.
In all of our website packages, we always design Three Headers or Website Templates
(Depending on your package chosen), and we will base these designs on info gathered
from you about your business. We will then send these to your for approval, and
for any changes.
If you are not happy with your company logo, we will design a new one for you, included
in any of our website packages.
Try and keep your ideas plain and simple, yet appealing to the general public. Corporate
is just as it says: Corporate. If you are going the corporate route we will keep
the look and feel slick and smooth, not too bright and not too much. The design
must move smoothly and be quick loading. Bearing in mind that corporate is not always
the best looking, and not always that flashiesty. Remember, in the corporate environment,
people are always in a hurry, so they want to go onto a website that is quick, eye
appealing, easy on the brain (Navigation etc), and of course gives the user what
they need in the best way possible.
Having said this, this applies to most other types of designes as well. So by letting
us know of the exact package that you are interested in and the type of clientele
that you are attracting, we will make sure that the design is well within the applied
field.
Basically, we will make sure that you have the best design possible for the type
of clientele that you would like to attract.
