FAQ

Common questions about packages

Set prices, what is included, and which package fits a service business.

How much does a SiteBase website cost?

Launch is R3,500, then Then R299/mo. Business is R7,500, then Then R350/mo. Custom is Quoted, then Then quoted monthly.

Get StartedWebsite cost in SAWebsite Taster

What’s the difference between Launch, Business, and Custom?

Launch is a 2-page lead site. Business is a standard 5-page professional website (Home, About, Services, Work/examples, Contact) — the usual starting point. Custom is a full site plus a specialist tool: a live calculator or unique system. Guided quote is a site-wide add-on. Google Maps is included as standard on every package.

Get StartedHow it Works

Is hosting included in the once-off price?

Yes — 3 months of default Hosting & support from the day the site goes live. After that: Launch R299/mo, Business R350/mo, Custom quoted monthly. Hosting after those 90 days is not free. Plus is optional. Taster, add-ons, and support-only do not include hosting.

What is the Website Taster?

The Website Taster is R350 for a custom homepage concept with your logo, colours, and services — before you commit. R350 is fully credited if you continue to Business or Custom. It is not credited toward Launch.

Website TasterGet Started

Can you match my logo and colours?

Yes. Colours and styling can be matched to your logo and branding. If you don’t have a finished brand pack, we can still start from what you have and keep the site clean and consistent.

Get Started

Do you write the website copy?

Yes. Launch, Business, and Custom include writing and structuring the website copy from your brief — services, areas, about, and buttons. You don’t need polished paragraphs. Send a services list, areas you serve, contact details, and any existing text or photos, plus logo and colours if you have them. You approve the copy before launch, in the included revision rounds. Blog or SEO article packs, brand-strategy workshops, and extra pages of content are quoted separately.

What we needPricing

Do the sites include a quote form and WhatsApp?

Every package includes WhatsApp, a clear way to enquire, and Google Maps as standard. Launch and Business keep a simple contact / enquiry path. Add Guided quote to any package for a 3-step job brief. Custom is for a live calculator or unique system.

PricingGet Started

Do the sites include Google Maps?

Yes. Google Maps is included as standard on every package so clients can find you. For home-based trades we use a service-area view (city and suburbs) instead of a private street address. That is a normal map embed — not Places autocomplete or other paid Google APIs.

PricingLive examples

When does the 48/72-hour clock start?

The 48/72-hour clock starts when we have: Deposit, logo or written “no logo”, services list, areas, WhatsApp/phone, and whether you have a domain. Missing photos do not block launch. The promise is the first live version — included revision rounds still apply after that.

How it Works

Do I own the domain?

Yes — registered in your name. First year included on a new .co.za we register. If you already own a domain, we connect it. The included year applies to a new domain we register, not a credit if you already have one. Renewal after year 1 is yours, or billed through us at cost. SiteBase is technical/admin only.

Pricing

What email do I get?

You get one professional address on your domain, e.g. info@yourbusiness.co.za, that forwards to the inbox you already use. A paid mailbox (Google Workspace or Microsoft) is optional, quoted separately, and billed to you. Never @sitebase.co.za as your public email.

Will I be on Google Maps in 3 days?

The website can go live in 48 or 72 hours. GBP setup is included — create or claim, categories, services, service areas, hours, website, phone, WhatsApp, and photos you send. Home-based trades get a service-area listing, not a private street pin. You own the listing; SiteBase is Manager only. Google’s verification is separate and can take days. We do not promise map pack or any ranking.

Are packages tied to a specific trade?

No. Launch, Business, and Custom are the same packages for electricians, plumbers, cleaning companies, accountants, and other service businesses. We tailor the content, branding, and enquiry path to your trade.
