Pricing

Priced by what you do.

A flat price is wrong at both ends. A barber and a dental practice do not need the same website and should not pay the same for one. Three bands. A build fee paid once, with the domain, hosting, mailboxes and SSL inside it for twelve months. After that a care plan from R450 a month that does not jump in year two. There is no third invoice.

Decided fast. Often a first website.

Prices include VAT where it applies. The care plan is month to month after the first year and cancellable with 30 days notice. If you leave, we export everything and help you move it. There is no exit fee and no lock-in. Practice sites are not offered on rental — a regulated practice holding client records should own its website outright.

Against the market

What the same job costs elsewhere.

Independent 2026 price guides put a professionally built small-business site in South Africa at R5 590 – R16 900, with most WordPress or Shopify builds quoted between R15 000 and R50 000. Care plans cluster at R400 – R900 a month for a small site and R1 300 – R2 800 for a professional one.

Kirosconsult pricing compared with published market rates in South Africa

The number that matters

Three years, all in.

Three-year cost of ownership, taking the Trade band as the example. The rental packages never stop billing and you never own the site — stop paying and it disappears.

Three-year total cost of ownership comparison
Option	What you pay	Three-year total	Do you own it?
Kirosconsult Trade	R7 950 once + R895/mo from month 13	R29 430	Yes
Typical SA agency build + care	R16 900 once + R650/mo from day one	R40 300	Yes
Rented site at R499/mo	R0 up front, R499 every month	R17 964	No
Rented site at R299/mo	R0 up front, R299 every month	R10 764	No

Being straight with you. There are operators in South Africa renting a template site for R99 a month. Over three years that is cheaper in pure cash than anything we sell. What you get for it is a site you do not own, that disappears the day you stop paying, with no DKIM, no DMARC, no two-factor login and no accessibility work. We are not trying to beat that number. We are trying to beat it on what you end up holding.

Add on when you need it

The feature that closes it.

Across every trade we build for, the thing that turns a visitor into a customer is one of five features. They are built once and reused, which is why they cost a fraction of a bespoke quote.

Closing features and optional add-on pricing
Add-on	What it does	Price
Showcase	Gallery, menu, timetable, accreditation badges or a coverage map	R1 200
Booking	Online booking, availability calendar, date picker and deposits	R3 500
Calculator	Quote builder, savings or payback calculator, live search	R4 500
Portal	Client or patient login, secure documents, tickets and an SLA	R9 500
Shop	Storefront, up to 30 products, payments and click-and-collect	R9 950
Extra mailbox	A further 10GB mailbox on your domain	R25 / month
Extra language	A full second language across the whole site	R2 450
Bespoke plugin or API	Coded to your process, quoted after a written spec	R850 / hour
Social management	Content calendar, posting and community replies	R2 950 / month
Google Ads management	Setup, copy, and monthly optimisation	R2 450 / month
Rescue migration	Lifting a site off a host or agency that has gone quiet	R1 950

Your site as an app

On their home screen.

Customers install your site like an app, sign in with Face ID and get your notifications. No app store needed, and no separate app to maintain. When you want to be in the App Store and Google Play as well, we publish it there too, under your own name.

App add-on pricing
Add-on	What it does	Price
Installable app	Customers install your site on their phone like an app. Works offline, one-tap install link and QR code	R4 950
Face ID sign-in	Clients and staff sign in with Face ID or a fingerprint instead of a password	R3 950
Push notifications	Notifications to installed phones when something happens, up to three events wired in	R3 950
App pack	All three, plus automatic sign-out after inactivity and a start screen for each role	R11 950
Google Play listing	Your app published in the Google Play Store. Needs the installable app	R4 950
App Store listing	An iPhone and iPad app in Apple's App Store, with native notifications and Face ID. Needs the App pack	R16 950
Both stores	Google Play and the App Store together. Needs the App pack	R19 950
Store care	Per app, per year: phone software updates, certificates, yearly resubmission and store reviews	R3 950 / year

What the stores charge you directly. Apple charges US$99 a year and Google US$25 once, paid into your own developer accounts so the listing belongs to you. A custom-built mobile app in South Africa is typically quoted from R96 000; we reuse what is already built into your site, which is why ours is a fraction of that.

Domain names: coming soon. You will be able to search, register and renew .co.za, .com and other domains with us, alongside your site and your care plan. Every build already includes a domain registered in your own name.

Questions

Everything people ask.

How can you be this much cheaper than everyone else?

Two reasons, both boring. We build on a system we have already written — the security, email authentication, accessibility and indexing work is a checklist we run, not a puzzle we solve again per client. And we host at wholesale on infrastructure we already run for a portfolio of sites. Low cost per site, done many times, priced honestly.

What happens after the first 12 months?

Your domain, hosting, mail and backups roll onto a care plan starting at the rate shown on each plan. That is the only recurring cost, it is published, and it does not jump in year two. If you would rather take the site elsewhere, we export everything and help you move it. No exit fee.

Who owns the site?

You do. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and the code and content are yours. We keep a copy so we can support you, not so we can hold you to ransom.

Do you really configure DKIM and DMARC on a small business site?

Yes, on every single one. It is the difference between your quotes landing in an inbox and landing in spam, and between a scammer being able to invoice your customers in your name and not. It takes us under an hour because we have a runbook for it.

Can you build something no plugin does?

That is most of what we do. Live courier rate quoting, multi-practice prescription systems, immutable clinical notes, 47 000-line quote catalogues, school communication platforms, funder portals. If it can be specified, it can be coded.

What do you need from me?

Your logo if you have one, any photos you want used, and half an hour of your time. We write the copy, source the rest, and show you a draft. If you have nothing, we still get you live.

Is there a contract?

The build is a fixed-price piece of work. The care plan is month to month after the first 12 months, cancellable with 30 days notice. We do not do 24-month lock-ins.

How long does it take?

Local goes live in about a week from the day content lands. Trade and Practice run two to three weeks. Anything bespoke depends entirely on what is being built, and you get a written schedule before anything starts.
