Questions, answered straight

If customers need to trust and phone you: Business (R7,500). If you sell your work visually: Portfolio (R5,000). If you want enquiries from ads or Google: Lead-Generation (R9,500). If you sell products: E-Commerce (R20,000). WhatsApp me what your business does and I'll tell you straight - including if the cheaper one is enough.

In money, yes - Wix or Google Sites cost R0-R400/month. In outcomes, usually no: DIY sites rarely rank on Google or convert visitors to calls. If your time is worth more than R500/hour, a R5,000 fixed build pays for itself.

You can - it's free and fine for a temporary web presence. But Google Sites gives you limited SEO control, generic design and no proper contact-form-to-WhatsApp flow. It's a good week 1; it's a poor year 1.

A Facebook page reaches people on Facebook; a website reaches everyone searching Google for your service. When someone searches "plumber Pretoria East", Google shows websites - not Facebook pages. A simple website with local SEO turns those searches into calls you're currently missing.

A designer shapes how the site looks and feels; a developer builds how it works. STRKR is both in one person - which is why the price is fixed and nothing gets lost between two specialists.

A professional small-business website in South Africa costs between R5,000 and R20,000 once-off in 2026, depending on the type of website. At STRKR every type has a fixed published price: a portfolio site is R5,000, a five-page business website R7,500, and a full online store R20,000 - no quotes, no surprises.

Most South African web designers charge R450-R950 per hour, which makes final costs unpredictable. STRKR charges a fixed price per website type instead - you know the total (R5,000-R20,000) before any work starts, and the price never changes mid-project.

A 5-page business website costs R5,590-R15,000 in South Africa in 2026. STRKR's Business website type is R7,500 fixed - five pages, local SEO schema, Google Business linking and a contact map, live in about two weeks.

The cheapest professional option is a small fixed-scope build rather than an hourly agency project. STRKR's Portfolio type is R5,000 once-off: 3-4 pages, mobile-fast, SEO-ready - the same quality bar as bigger builds, just smaller scope.

A professional ecommerce website costs R8,000-R30,000 from South African freelancers and considerably more from agencies. STRKR's E-Commerce type is R20,000 fixed: up to 30 products loaded, Payfast or Yoco payments, shipping configured and order emails - live in 3-4 weeks.

Yes - 50% books your build slot and 50% is due before the site goes live. The design-stage guarantee sits between the two: approve the design or get the deposit back.

Because "request a quote" usually means "we'll price you based on how you sound." Fixed published prices mean the same honest number for everyone.

A simple website takes 1-2 weeks; an online store takes 3-4 weeks. STRKR publishes a fixed timeline for each website type and shows you the homepage design within 48 hours of receiving your content.

Every STRKR website includes mobile-responsive design, speed optimisation, on-page SEO with schema markup, Google Business Profile linking, Google Analytics, SSL security, two revision rounds and a 30-minute handover training video - at every price level, from R5,000.

You approve the homepage design before the second payment. If you're not happy at the design stage, you walk away and your deposit is refunded in full. That's the STRKR design-stage guarantee.

Website maintenance in South Africa typically costs R299-R1,500 per month. STRKR Care Plans are R450/month (hosting, SSL, backups, updates, monitoring), R950/month with monthly content changes and a traffic report, or R1,500/month for online stores.

A STRKR Care Plan covers hosting, SSL, daily backups, software updates and uptime monitoring from R450/month. The Growth plan (R950/month) adds a monthly batch of content changes and a plain-language GA4 traffic report; Commerce (R1,500/month) adds product updates and priority support.

Yes - every STRKR build ends with a 30-minute training video showing you how. A Care Plan exists for owners whose time is better spent running the business: you send a voice note, the change gets made, the site stays fast and backed up.

Uptime monitoring is part of every Care Plan, so STRKR usually knows before you do. Your site is backed up, so the worst case is a restore - not a rebuild. Without a plan, fixes are quoted as once-off work.

You get a 30-minute training video of your actual site, and optionally a Care Plan from R450/month covering hosting, backups, updates and monitoring - so it stays fast, secure and online.

Every STRKR build ships with on-page SEO: schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, Google Business Profile linking and content matched to what your customers search. Ongoing SEO campaigns aren't a STRKR product (yet) - honest scope, honest price.

Pretoria web designers typically quote hourly (R450-R950/hour) or per project. STRKR charges fixed prices per website type: R5,000 for a portfolio site, R7,500 for a business website, up to R20,000 for an online store - published upfront, never adjusted mid-build.

Check three things: published prices (so you can't be surprised), live proof of speed (test their own site on Google PageSpeed), and a guarantee. STRKR publishes all three - every price, every PageSpeed score, and a design-stage money-back guarantee.

Yes. The whole process runs on WhatsApp and email - content handover by voice note, design approval by link. Pretoria businesses get the local SEO edge of a designer who knows the area; everyone else gets the same fixed prices remotely.

A professional small-business website in Pretoria costs R5,000-R20,000 once-off. The most popular choice is the R7,500 Business type: five pages, Google Maps and Business Profile integration, and local SEO schema so nearby customers find you.
