Website design cost and project prices in South Africa

To compare quotes from different studios, you need a clear breakdown of the work. Website design cost starts from R15 000 for a company website, which takes 6–10 weeks. A brand identity starts from R12 000 and usually takes 4–8 weeks. Apps and platforms start from R60 000 and take 8–16 weeks or more. Video, marketing, AI work and hosting are quoted on request. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.

Where a project lands above the starting price depends on the number of user flows, design complexity, integrations such as payment gateways, the volume of content and what launch requires. It also matters whether you already have research, a specification or a working system. In the first conversation we clarify your goal, priorities and constraints. Then we send a written proposal: what the work includes, which assumptions we made and what still needs clarifying. If there are too many unknowns, we suggest starting with research.

In the quote we separate core stages from tasks that can be scheduled later. Send us a short project description and any materials you have.

When you compare website design prices between studios, check three things in each quote: whether content entry and copy are included, whether hosting and support after launch are priced, and what the contract says about rights to the code and design.
