Markets can be unpredictable, but our startup web design service gives you clarity on what you pay and what you get.
You are not alone.
As web designers dedicated to helping small businesses succeed online, we understand these risks and concerns. This is exactly why we introduced our Startup Website Package for only R99 per month.
It is not about offering the cheapest website design in South Africa. It is about giving you a safer way to get online without betting everything upfront.

Decide exactly how your services are described and what information customers see. Your website never improvises, forgets key points, or misrepresents your business.

What I wish I knew 7 years ago when I started as a logo designer...
A beautiful portfolio website showcasing stunning work means nothing if people who are ready to buy can’t find it online.
For over three years, I kept changing my website’s design, mimicking how other designers presented their work even copying some of their content.
And what changed? Nothing. I still wasn’t getting results. Do you know why?
My work was top-tier, better than most designers who were actually getting clients but my website lacked one crucial thing: SEO.
It wasn’t showing up anywhere on Google.
The problem? Nobody could find me.
So, once I realised this, I tried running Google Ads. I burnt through my budget with just a few clicks because, again, I didn’t know how to target properly.
That failure led me to discover search engine optimisation and that changed everything.
But nothing lasts forever. Google now rolls out multiple Core Updates to its ranking algorithm every month. Staying ahead of the curve isn’t about hope or luck it’s about strategy.
That’s when I thought: maybe I should hire an SEO agency.
But, like many small business owners, I was put off by the high prices.
And I began to wonder how many other non-tech-savvy small business owners are in the same boat?
That’s when the idea struck: what if there was a better solution that bundled web design and SEO into one affordable package?
A quick Google search led me to discover pay monthly website design services. It was exactly what I’d been looking for almost.
The one missing piece? SEO.
Most small businesses don’t need full-scale SEO campaigns.
What they really need is a simple local SEO strategy especially service-based businesses targeting a specific city or region.
And that’s how Website Design R299pm was born
A monthly website design service built around the real needs of small service-based businesses combining web design and local SEO into one results-driven, affordable package.
Does this sound like the service you’ve been searching for?
In almost every startup web design conversation, we get asked similar questions. Some come up on every call. Below are clear answers to the most common questions about our startup small business website design packages in South Africa.
Our service works on a monthly subscription model. You only pay for as long as you need the website.
At first glance, paying monthly can sound expensive over time. That is true if you focus only on price and not on value. Our monthly web design model includes ongoing improvements that help your website generate more value and potential revenue over time without extra spend.
We do not build your website and forget about it.
We closely monitor which keywords your website is getting impressions for and analyse which ones are actually moving the needle. We do this using Google Search Console, one of Google’s most powerful free tools. It shows us the search terms people use when they Google your services.
From there, we identify commercial keywords that attract ready to buy customers and continue optimising your website around them.
Once your website starts receiving visitors, we analyse how people interact with it using Google Analytics. This helps us see which pages people spend time on, which ones they leave quickly, and where improvements are needed.
That ongoing optimisation is the value you get when you sign up for our monthly small business website design packages.
While our service is affordable, it is not suitable for every startup owner.
If you are looking for overnight success, this model is not for you. But if you understand that high return on investment takes time to mature, you are a good fit for this approach.
Search engine optimisation takes time. In most cases, it takes at least 90 days to start seeing early results. Many digital marketers will tell you that SEO campaigns take six to twelve months before meaningful performance can be measured.
This is why we include local SEO as part of our monthly website subscription. It allows startup owners with limited resources to get more value from their website over time.
We are not a full service digital marketing agency. As a result, most websites begin generating their first enquiries after about 90 days, depending on your industry and competition.
If you miss a payment for a particular month, we understand that life happens. We offer a grace period of seven days to settle the outstanding amount before the service is paused or terminated.
If you decide that the service is no longer right for your business and choose to cancel, we will terminate the website services. You will retain ownership of your domain name, and any future renewal fees will be your responsibility.
This depends on several factors, including how much you are comfortable investing per month.
We have priced our packages to allow you to get online for as little as R99 per month, which is similar to the entertainment subscriptions many business owners already pay for.
While we offer packages at R99 per month, R299 per month, and R1499 per month, we usually recommend that new businesses start with the Startup package at R99 per month or the Standard package at R299 per month.
This gives you the opportunity to test our model, see if it brings value to your business, and grow at a pace that feels sustainable. You can upgrade to a higher package when your website starts generating revenue and you feel ready to scale.
Our local SEO strategy focuses on helping people in your area find your business more easily when they search on Google.
We optimise your website around relevant local search terms and implement local business schema to help search engines better understand your services and location.
We also create or update your Google Business Profile to ensure it accurately reflects the information on your website, including your services, contact details, and operating areas.
To strengthen your local presence further, we help create, clean up, or update citations on trusted local business directory websites so your business details are consistent across the web.
For businesses on the Scale package, we also include two to three quality backlinks per month to support stronger visibility and long term growth.
We offer one of the most affordable prices for web design in South Africa. Our pay monthly website design packages start at R99/month for the Basic Package, R299/month for the Business Package and R1499/month for the Scale Package. Unlike traditional web design companies that charge large upfront fees, our monthly model makes professional website design accessible to small businesses across South Africa.
Yes, we provide web design services throughout Johannesburg and the greater Gauteng area. However, our done-for-you website design service works with small businesses nationwide across South Africa, as all our work is handled remotely with full support included.
You don’t have to create anything – that’s the beauty of our done-for-you approach! We handle the entire process: discovery call, content creation, design, development, and launch. You simply provide your business information and approve the design.
Yes, we specialize in WordPress website design for small businesses. WordPress is perfect for local SEO services and allows us to create professional, search engine friendly websites that generate business enquiries.
Unlike DIY website builders and other web design agencies in South Africa, we combine professional web design with ongoing local SEO services and guarantee results. You get a complete marketing system, not just a website that looks good but doesn’t generate business.
We take a week to properly create a small business website that actually works. This includes research, professional design, content optimisation, and technical setup for maximum enquiry generation.
Nothing keeps you up at night more than worrying about where your next customer will come from. Unfortunately, this is a common struggle for many service business owners in South Africa, leading many to abandon their websites within the first six months.
A website without a strategy to attract visitors is unlikely to generate leads. Some business owners endure the frustration of DIY solutions, others spend money on paid ads, while many simply hope their websites will eventually yield results.
If you’re seeking a sustainable way to generate leads, investing in SEO is essential. Yes, SEO! You might think it’s too expensive and takes too long to work, but remember: every problem has a solution.
Imagine having a website that drives potential leads within six months for just R299 per month. Wouldn’t that make investing R4,999 in a website that no one knows about seem less appealing? You may worry that R299 a month will add up over time. However, if this website brings you leads, will that still be a concern?
Like many small business owners in South Africa, you might believe that a one-time fee for a website is more economical than a monthly service. But our monthly web design model is specifically designed to attract customers to your website. It allows you to see how SEO can facilitate customer acquisition in the long run without straining your budget.
As a local service provider, you invest your heart and soul into your business. However, are your endless social media posts generating qualified leads or merely attracting price shoppers? Our monthly web design solution enables you to focus on what you do best, freeing you from the hassle of chasing attention on Facebook. Instead, we concentrate on designing and optimizing your website to rank on Google, where potential customers are actively searching for services like yours.
But this isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Here’s what you need to qualify:
