How long does a website take?

It depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and photographs arrive — content is usually the longest pole. You get a target launch date in the written quote before any work starts, and we tell you immediately if anything moves it.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the site files are yours, and we hand over full access on request. You are never locked in.

Hosting, handled for you

Online, and looked after.

You shouldn't need to know what a server is. With managed hosting by Limelo, your site simply works — we handle everything technical behind the scenes.

One monthly arrangement covers your domain, hosting, email and care — sized to your site when we quote.

Fast, South African hosting

Quick servers close to your customers — pages open fast, even on mobile data.

Email on your own domain

you@yourbusiness.co.za — professional email on all your devices, set up for you.

Security & SSL included

The padlock in the browser, updates and protection against common attacks — on by default.

Automatic backups

Site and email backed up automatically. If anything goes wrong, we restore it.

POPIA-friendly

Set up with South African privacy law in mind — forms, analytics and visitor data included.

One number to call

Domain, website, email, hosting — you talk to us. No call centres, no runaround.

How a build runs

Five stages, and you sign off on each one.

No black box. You see the design before it is built, and the build before it is launched.

Discovery

We work out what the site has to do, what you already have, and what still needs sorting. You get a written scope and a quote before anything is built.

Design

We design the home page first and show it to you before going further. Nothing else gets built until you are happy with it.

Build

The rest is built section by section, with copy written around the facts you give us. You review it on a private link, on your own phone, as it comes together.

Launch

Domain, hosting, mailboxes, SSL and backups are set up and tested. We confirm every enquiry route actually reaches you, then it goes live.

Care

We stay on afterwards — monitoring, updates, backups and small changes — so the site does not quietly rot.

You own it. All of it.

The domain is registered in your name. The website files are yours. Your mailboxes are yours. If you ever want to move to another provider, we hand over full access and the files, and we do not hold anything hostage to make leaving difficult.

What we ask for in return is simple: give us the facts and the photographs, and tell us when something is wrong. That is the whole arrangement.

Questions people actually ask

The awkward ones, answered.

What does a website cost?

There is no fixed price list, because a one-page site for a sole practitioner and a ten-page practice site with booking tools are not the same job. We scope it first — pages, features, content and integrations — and send you a written quote. Scoping it here takes about a minute and gives us enough to quote properly.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and photographs arrive — in practice, content is almost always the longest pole, not the build. You get a target launch date in the written quote before work starts, and we tell you straight away if anything moves it.

Who writes the content?

You supply the facts — your services, credentials, prices, photographs. We write and structure the copy around them and send it back for your approval. Nothing goes live that you have not read. For medical practices we also keep the copy inside what the HPCSA allows.

Will it actually be fast on a phone?

Mobile performance is a build requirement here, not an afterthought. Heavy visual effects load only where they can run well, images are compressed and correctly sized, and pages are tested on a real phone before launch. The 3D robot at the top of this page is a live example: it only downloads once it can be shown properly, and the page works perfectly without it.

What happens after launch?

We stay on. Care covers monitoring, updates, backups and small content changes, and we are the people you call if something breaks. Larger additions are quoted separately so you always know what you are agreeing to.

Can you connect the website to the work that happens after an enquiry?

That is the other half of what we do. Enquiries can route straight to WhatsApp, confirmations and reminders can be sent automatically, and the admin behind them can be automated. See workflow automation.
