What pages does a small business website need?
Most small businesses need five pages or fewer to start:
- Home: what you do, where you work and how to contact you, in the first screen.
- Services: one section or page per service, with prices or a starting price where you can.
- About: who you are, how long you have been trading and photos of your team or work.
- Gallery or projects: photos of real work, which win more trust than stock images.
- Contact: phone, WhatsApp, email, a form, a map and opening hours.
Add a blog later if you want to answer customer questions and grow your Google traffic.
How much does a small business website cost?
In South Africa a small business website usually costs from about R2,500 to R10,000 once-off with a designer, plus hosting and a domain each year. Our packages start at R1,450 for a one-page site and R2,950 for five pages, with the first year of hosting and a .co.za domain included. After that, hosting renews from R790 a year on the Gold plan and the domain at R250 a year. See the full breakdown in our website cost guide.
Website builder or a web designer?
DIY builders look cheap, but most charge monthly in US dollars, and you spend your own time on design, text and SEO. With us you pay once, get a site built for you on South African hosting and own your domain. If you still want to try it yourself, our free hosting plan includes a simple website builder.
Who it is for
- Tradespeople: plumbers, electricians, builders
- Salons, spas and wellness practices
- Professional practices and consultants
- Guest houses, restaurants and local shops
- New businesses getting online for the first time
Get found by local customers
A website works best alongside a complete Google Business Profile with the same name, phone number and address. Our guide to local SEO in South Africa covers the first steps, and our SEO packages can take it further. Read why your business needs a website if you are still deciding.

Kevin from web design hosting has been excellent to work with for the last 10 years. He handled the design and hosting of our website for Zeek Gold and made the whole process easy from start to finish. He’s responsive, explains things clearly, and always follows through on what he promises. He built / redesigned our site at zeekgold.co.za, and whenever we’ve needed changes or help, he’s sorted it…

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a small business website cost in South Africa?
Usually from about R2,500 to R10,000 once-off with a designer. Our packages start at R1,450 for one page and R2,950 for five pages, with a year of hosting and a .co.za domain included.
What is the best website for a small business?
A fast, mobile-friendly site of about five pages that clearly says what you do, where you work and how to contact you, with real photos and a Google Business Profile linked to it.
How much does it cost to keep a small business website running?
After the first year you pay for hosting and your domain. On our Gold hosting plan that is R790 a year plus R250 a year for the .co.za domain. Maintenance is optional.
Can I get a cheap website for my small business?
Yes. Our one-page package is R1,450 once-off including hosting and a domain for the first year. It suits sole traders and new businesses that need a professional presence quickly.
Do I need a website if I have a Facebook page?
A Facebook page helps, but you do not control it and it ranks poorly for most local searches. A website on your own domain gives you a professional email address and a place Google can send customers.
Can I add more pages later?
Yes. You can upgrade to a larger package or ask us to add pages, and WordPress sites let you add pages yourself.
