01 / PLATFORM

Run your whole business from one place.

No more chasing an invoice through WhatsApp or double-booking a Saturday. One login, one place to see what's owed, what's booked and what's left in the budget.

From R799 a month. Pay as you use it, cancel anytime.

The platform is a subscription product. Not subscribed, no back end — your website keeps working either way.

Invoicing

Send it, track it, see who still owes you.

Scheduling

Jobs and staff on one calendar. No clashes.

Bookings & events

Take bookings, manage guests and dates.

Budgets

Money in, money out, and what's left.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much does a website cost?+

Websites start at R5 000 for a refresh of an existing site, R10 000 for a custom build, and R60 000+ for large or 3D and automation projects. Website pricing is once-off, and you get a clear quote before anything starts.

What is the business-management platform?+

It's an optional monthly platform that runs your admin in one place — invoicing, scheduling, bookings and budgets — instead of juggling five apps and a spreadsheet. It starts from R799 a month, pay as you use it, cancel anytime.

Do I have to take the platform to get a website?+

No. The website works on its own. The platform is a separate, optional add-on you can take when you're ready — or never. Your site keeps working either way.

Where are you based, and do you work with businesses outside Centurion?+

We're based in Centurion, Gauteng, and work with small businesses across South Africa. Most of the work happens online, so your location isn't a barrier.

Can you update my existing website instead of building a new one?+

Yes — that's the Refresh tier, from R5 000. A modern update on what you already have, turned around fast.

Can the site take bookings, payments or online orders?+

Yes. We build booking, e-commerce and payment-gateway functionality where you need it, scoped to how your business actually works.

How long does a website take?+

A refresh is usually a matter of days; a custom build a week or two, depending on scope and how quickly you get us your content. We agree the timeline up front.

Is it a subscription or a once-off cost?+

The website is a once-off cost. The platform, if you take it, is a monthly subscription (from R799) you can cancel anytime. The two are billed separately.
