Starter Website
A focused online presence for showcasing your business, services or portfolio, without the complexity of a large multi-page platform.
What the Starter Website is.
A professionally developed static HTML website designed for businesses and professionals who need a clean, credible presence. It works particularly well as a digital business profile: visitors quickly understand who you are, what you offer and how to contact you.

How it works.
Design Direction
We agree a Design System and UI/UX direction for your site.
Your Approval
You review and approve the visual direction before we build.
Development
We develop the website to the approved direction.
Refine & Launch
Two minor iterations, then we deliver your finished site.
Approval authorises development in the agreed direction. After approval, the included iterations refine the site; they are not a restart of the design process.
The essentials, clearly.
SEO
Basic on-page SEO foundations: essential page metadata and structure. This is not an ongoing SEO campaign and does not guarantee specific Google rankings.
Iterations
2 minor development iterations after design approval, for corrections and refinements, not a complete redesign.
Delivery
Approximately 1–2 business days after your content and approved design direction are received.
What you provide
- Company logo
- Company / about information
- Services
- Contact information & address
- Social media links
- Images
Not included
- A CMS (this site is not self-editable)
- Hosting & domain registration
- Ongoing SEO campaign or ranking guarantees
- Blog / news functionality
- Pages beyond the included allowance
- A full redesign after approval (separate quote)
Hosting & email.
Hosting not included
Package prices exclude hosting and domain registration unless stated in a quotation. You can purchase an appropriate domain and hosting separately.

Optional remote email configuration at R250 per account/device on a supported hosting package. Mailbox hosting and domain services are separate.
Need more room?
Choose the Pro Website
Choose Pro if you need multiple dedicated pages such as Home, About, Services, Portfolio and Contact, instead of a single concentrated page.
Compare the Pro Website →Common questions.
Do I get a CMS with the Starter Website?
No. It is a hand-built HTML site for showcasing information. If you need to edit content yourself or publish articles, choose the Business Website.
Is hosting included?
No. Hosting and domain registration are separate unless specifically stated in your quotation. You can buy them separately and we will guide you.
How many pages do I get?
One custom-designed primary page plus a Disclaimer / Privacy page.
What if I want a full redesign after approval?
The two iterations cover minor refinements. A new visual direction or major restructuring after approval falls outside the included iterations and may require a separate quotation.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. You can move up to the Pro, Business or E-Commerce packages as your needs grow.
A clean, credible online presence, delivered in days. Hosting excluded.
