How payment works

Every project starts with a free call. Then 50% deposit to begin and 50% on launch. If that doesn't suit your business, ask. Other terms can be arranged.

What the monthly fee pays for.You still own the site.

The site is yours outright. The monthly fee keeps it running, safe and up to date, and gets you a real person when something needs changing.

  • Hosting
  • Your domain
  • SSL certificate
  • Security updates
  • Backups
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Small changes, with the time set by your package

Changes beyond your monthly time are R650 an hour, quoted before any work starts.

Common questions,answered plainly.

How much does a website cost in South Africa?

Across the market, a template or DIY site runs R1,500 to R5,000, a freelance custom build R8,000 to R25,000, and an agency build R40,000 and up. JLC Studio is a custom builder: R10,000 for Launch (up to 5 pages), R16,500 for Growth (up to 8), R24,000 for Authority (up to 12), and Bespoke from R38,000. We publish our prices so you know before you call.

What does the monthly fee cover?

Hosting, your domain, SSL, security updates, backups, uptime monitoring and small content changes: 30 minutes a month on Launch (R850), an hour on Growth (R1,250) and two hours on Authority (R1,750). Beyond that it's R650 an hour, quoted first. It isn't a licence fee. You own the site. The fee pays for upkeep and a real person to help.

How long does a website take?

Launch takes 2 to 3 weeks, Growth 3 to 4 and Authority 4 to 6, counted from the day your content is ready. Most delays come from waiting for words and photos, so gather those early.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The design, content, domain and data are yours, and if you ever move on, everything goes with you. Check this with any provider. Many South African "website subscription" deals keep ownership, so if you leave, you lose the site.

Can I edit the website myself?

Yes. Every build includes an editing panel for the things you change: services, prices, photos and posts. It's easy to use on your phone, and there's no charge for changing your own prices.

Will you promise me page one of Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google's rankings. What we control is a fast site, a clean structure, strong local signals and pages that answer what your customers search for. That gives you the best chance. How quickly it works depends on your competition and your area.

What if I need something the packages don't cover?

That's what Bespoke is for: online booking, quoting tools, client portals or more than twelve pages. It starts from R38,000 and is scoped on a free call, so you know the price before work starts.

Pick a package,or ask which one fits.

The first call is free, with no obligation. You'll know what you need, what it costs and when it can be live.
