Website design in Johannesburg from R1 200
A fast, mobile-first website for your Johannesburg business, built in about a week for a fixed price. Hosting, SSL, backups and your changes done for you from R240 a month.
Working with Johannesburg businesses
We work with Johannesburg businesses remotely — form, photos from your phone, pages you approve in a browser. Nobody sits in traffic on the M1 for a kickoff meeting that could have been an email, least of all you.
We cover Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, Midrand, Fourways, the East Rand and across to Pretoria. If you serve a specific set of suburbs, those get named on your site — it is the single most useful thing you can tell both a customer and a search engine.
Who this is for in Johannesburg
Mostly established, unglamorous businesses that are good at what they do and invisible online: electricians, security and access installers, plumbers, panel beaters, accountants and brokers and suppliers and wholesalers. Typically five to twenty years old, with a site built in 2011 or no site at all.
Gauteng is the most competitive search market in the country. For a trade in Sandton or Fourways there may be thirty businesses chasing the same phrase, and the ones that win are rarely the biggest — they are the ones whose site loads instantly, states the suburbs they cover, and makes the phone number obvious on a phone. Those three things are cheap to get right and most of your competitors have not.
What you get
- A hand-built site in plain HTML and CSS — no WordPress, no page builder, nothing to patch every fortnight.
- Loads in about a second on mobile data, because most of your visitors are on a phone.
- The suburbs you serve, your hours and your number where a customer can actually find them.
- Your Google Business Profile set up and linked, which is most of local search for a trade.
- A domain registered in your name, and files that are yours if you ever leave.
What it costs
R1 200 for 3 pages, R1 800 for 5, R2 500 for 8, up to R25 000 for a full online shop. Then R240 a month, first month included, no contract. Half up front, half before it goes live.

Questions from Johannesburg
How much does a website cost in Johannesburg?
The same as anywhere else we work, because the price is published rather than quoted per client: R1 200 for a 3-page site, R1 800 for 5 pages and R2 500 for 8, plus R240 a month for hosting and looking after it. Johannesburg agencies typically start well above that, which is the gap this exists to fill.
Do you work with businesses in Johannesburg if you are in Cape Town?
Yes, and it changes nothing about the work. Everything happens by form, email and browser, so where we sit is irrelevant to the result. A good number of our clients are in Gauteng and have never needed a call, though you can always have one.
Will my site show up for searches in Johannesburg?
We build so that it can: the suburbs you actually serve are named in the content, the page structure is readable by search engines, and your Google Business Profile is set up and linked. What nobody can honestly promise is a position. Ranking in Gauteng depends on your competition and takes months — be careful of anyone who guarantees page one.
How long does it take?
About a week from the day your content arrives. The build is the fast part; the pace is set by how quickly you send photos and details. Nothing is charged before you have seen the design.
