Blog website questions
How much does a blog website cost in South Africa?
A professionally set-up blog website costs R4,000-R12,000 in South Africa. STRKR Studio's Blog type is R5,500 fixed: a CMS you post to yourself, two layouts, categories and tags, RSS, and up to three existing posts migrated - live in about 10 days.
Can I update the blog myself?
Yes - that's the point of this type. You get a CMS with a simple editor, plus a 30-minute handover video recorded on your actual site showing exactly how to publish, edit and add images. No code, no developer needed per post.
Will my blog rank on Google?
The build ships with the technical side done: fast Core Web Vitals, schema markup, sitemap and Google Search Console submission. Ranking then depends on publishing consistently - content matched to what your readers search is what moves positions.
What's the difference between the Blog and Business types?
The Blog type (R5,500) is built around publishing - CMS, post layouts, categories. The Business type (R7,500) is built around being found and contacted - five pages, local SEO schema, Google Maps and contact flows. If you want both, start with the Business type and have posts written and published later with the fixed-price Blog post add-on (R550 per post), or choose the Blog type when publishing is the main job.
