Packages & services

Clear pricing. Real results.

Websites, hosting and SEO built for South African businesses. Pick a package or chat to us for something custom.

What affects the price

The kind of build comes first: a custom static site costs least, WordPress sits in the middle, and a custom CMS with its own admin area costs most. Within each kind, page count is the next factor, because there is simply less to design and build on a 1 to 3 page site than on a full Business site. Adding an online store (products, cart, payment gateway) is the step up after that. Every price below is the real once-off build cost with no hidden custom-quote step, hosting and SEO are separate, priced items so you always know exactly what you are paying for and why.

Which kind of website is right for you?

We build three kinds of website. For custom static and custom CMS sites we choose the technology per project, based on what the site needs to do. For WordPress, we agree the theme and plugins with you.

From R2,500

Custom static website

Hand-built pages with no content management system underneath. Each page is prepared in advance and served as it is.

  • • About as fast as a website gets
  • • Very little to maintain or attack: no plugins, no database, no admin login
  • • Runs on standard hosting

Suits: Businesses whose content rarely changes and who want speed and low upkeep.

Keep in mind: No admin area. Changes are made in the code, by you if you are comfortable doing that, or by us at our hourly rate. No online store.

From R3,000

WordPress website

Built on WordPress, the popular open-source platform, with a theme and plugins agreed with you.

  • • A familiar editor you can use yourself
  • • A huge range of plugins for extra features
  • • An online store option with WooCommerce

Suits: Businesses that want to update their own content and value a large ecosystem.

Keep in mind: Themes and plugins need regular updates. Paid theme or plugin licences are not included in the package price.

From R4,000

Custom CMS website

Built for your business from the ground up, with its own admin area and no third-party theme or plugin stack.

  • • Edit your own content without code
  • • Lean: only what your business needs, so it stays fast
  • • No plugin licences to renew

Suits: Businesses that update content regularly and want a site built around how they work, including online stores.

Keep in mind: Costs more than the other two. Needs hosting that can run it: ours can, not every host can.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost in South Africa? +
With JWD there are three kinds of website. A custom static website starts at R2,500 for 1 to 3 pages. A WordPress website starts at R3,000, and a custom CMS website with its own admin area starts at R4,000. Online stores start at R7,000 on WordPress and R8,500 as a custom CMS store. These are once-off build prices; hosting and SEO are separate.
What is the difference between static, WordPress and custom CMS? +
A custom static site has no admin area, which makes it very fast and low-maintenance, but changes are made in code. WordPress gives you a familiar editor and a large plugin ecosystem, with the theme and plugins agreed with you. A custom CMS is built only for your business, with its own admin area and no plugin stack. We choose the technology for static and custom CMS builds per project.
Are themes, plugins and third-party services included? +
For WordPress sites we agree the theme and plugins with you; free ones are set up as part of the package, and paid theme or plugin licences are not included. Third-party services any site needs, such as paid integrations or subscriptions, are not included in the package price and are quoted separately.
What hosting do I need? +
Custom static and WordPress sites run on standard hosting, including ours from R99 a month. A custom CMS needs hosting that can run it: our hosting is set up for it, and if you want to use your own we check it with you before the build starts.
How long does a website take to build? +
It depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and feedback come through. A small 1 to 5 page site is the quickest; business, e-commerce and custom CMS builds take longer. We give you a real timeline once we know the scope.
I received a quote before 1 October 2026. Does it still apply? +
If you paid a deposit before 1 October 2026, nothing changes: your project goes ahead at the price you were quoted. Quotes that had not yet been accepted with a deposit were based on our previous pricing, so we will gladly prepare an updated quote on the new packages for you. If we agreed a specific arrangement with you, we will honour it. Just get in touch and we will sort it out together.
I am outside South Africa. Do the same prices apply? +
Clients outside South Africa pay these rand prices plus a 15% international allowance, which covers cross-border payment, currency conversion and bank fees. Please order through a quote rather than the online checkout, and we will confirm the total and exchange rate with you up front.
How can I pay? +
Online checkout takes card payments through Yoco. You can also pay by EFT (bank transfer) or PayPal: request a quote or contact us and we will send you the details.
Do your prices include VAT? +
JWD Website Design is not registered for VAT, so no VAT is added. The price shown is the price you pay.
