SMALL BUSINESS WEBSITE DESIGN
A professional website without the price tag or the headache
Plenty of capable South African small businesses still have no real website, just a Facebook page or nothing at all. Getting online does not have to mean a big, complicated build. It means looking professional, being easy to find, and giving customers a simple way to get in touch.
That is exactly what a Digital Consulting Starter Site does. We design and build a clean, fast, mobile-first one-page website for your business, write the words, set up your domain and professional email, and put it live, usually within a few working days. You do not touch a website builder, you do not learn any software, and you are not left to maintain it yourself. Digital Consulting builds it, hosts it, and keeps it running, for less than most people pay for airtime.

Online in three simple steps
1Pick a design and pay the setupChoose the look closest to your business. Pay the once-off setup and we start the same day. Nothing is built until you are ready.
2Send us your detailsOne simple form: what you do, your contact details, your areas, and any photos or logo. No photos? We sort that out. No tech knowledge needed.
3We build it and put you liveDigital Consulting writes the words, builds the site, sets up your domain and email, and puts it live, usually within a few working days. One round of changes, then you are online.
Simple, honest pricing
Two ways to pay. Both get you the same professional website, your own domain, and a professional email address. Choose whichever suits your cash flow.
Monthly
R990 + R299/monthSetup once, then one simple monthly fee
The easy-on-cash-flow option. A small setup fee to build and launch your site, then one fee that covers everything to keep it running.
- Your one-page website, designed and built for you
- Your own domain and professional email
- Hosting, security, backups and updates, handled
- Small content changes each quarter included
- 12-month minimum, then month-to-month
Once-off
R2,490 + R149/monthPay for the build upfront, lower monthly
Prefer to pay for the build upfront? Pay once for the website, then a lower monthly fee that keeps your domain, email and hosting live.
- Everything in the build, paid once
- Your own domain and professional email
- Hosting, and your site kept live and secure
- Content changes quoted as needed
- No long-term contract
In plain terms: the monthly plan spreads the cost and includes ongoing changes. The once-off plan costs more upfront but less each month, with changes charged as you need them. Either way, there are no surprise bills.
Prices last reviewed: June 2026.

Why small businesses choose Digital Consulting
Done for you, live in days
You do not touch a website builder or learn any software. We build it, you approve it, and most Starter Sites go live within a few working days of getting your details.
A real online identity
Your own domain and a professional email address, not a free builder subdomain or a Gmail. It is what makes a small business look established.
Built for phones
Most people will find you on a phone, over 70% of web traffic in Africa is now mobile (StatCounter), so every Starter Site is built mobile-first and loads fast.
You are never stuck
Need a change? Message us. Hosting, security and updates are handled, so your site never goes stale or breaks. Start with one page and add more for R500 each as you grow.
“Most small businesses don’t need a big website. They need to look professional, be easy to find, and give customers somewhere to reach them, without a huge bill or a DIY headache. That is exactly what a Starter Site does, for the price of an airtime contract.”Digital Consulting
