A useful website budget starts with the work you need done. A small site with copy and images ready has a different scope from a website that needs new content, a booking system or an online shop.
A starting point for your budget
My once-off WordPress website packages are R3,999 for Starter, R5,999 for Growth and R9,999 for Pro. Your final quote depends on the agreed work and any extras.
You can compare the full package inclusions, add-ons and monthly care options on my pricing page.
What affects your website quote?
When I quote for your website, these details help me define the work involved:
- Pages and layouts. A few pages introducing your business involve less work than separate pages for services, products or destinations. The number of different layouts also affects the scope.
- Content. Copy and images that are ready to use keep the scope smaller. Writing new copy, sourcing images or reorganising existing content adds work.
- Features and integrations. A contact form, a booking system and an online shop have different requirements. The setup and testing needed affect the quote.
- SEO work. The SEO included depends on your package. Technical fixes, additional page improvements or extra content may need a separate scope.
- Revisions and scope changes. Each package includes a set number of revision rounds. Additional pages, features or changes beyond the agreed scope need to be allowed for separately.
Allow for costs after launch
Your budget also needs to cover hosting, domain renewal and any paid plugin licences your website requires. Monthly maintenance and ongoing content or SEO work are separate from the once-off build and depend on the support you choose.
Agreeing on what you need at launch
Tell me what your website needs to help your customers do, such as understand your services, request a quote or make a booking. This helps us decide which pages and features belong in the first version.
Features you do not need immediately can be considered for a later phase. Any later work would be quoted separately.
