About the E-Commerce WordPress Website
This is the WordPress version of this package. WordPress gives you a familiar editor, so you or your team can update text, images and pages yourself after launch. Your theme and plugins are agreed with you before we start, and any paid theme or plugin licences are not included in the package price.
An e-commerce website from JWD Website Design is built for South African businesses that are ready to sell online, not just be found online. If you make products, stock a range of goods, or want to turn a side hustle into a real online store Cape Town shoppers can buy from, this R7000 once-off package gives you a proper online shop with everything you need to take orders and get paid. It suits bakers, makers, boutiques, suppliers, and any small to medium business that wants to sell online South Africa wide at a lower cost than a custom CMS store.
The package includes the setup of 10 products, which we load with your images, descriptions, prices, and stock details so the store is genuinely ready to trade on day one. Ten products is enough to launch a focused range, and you can add more yourself over time or ask us to expand it later. We organise your catalogue into clear categories so customers can browse easily and find what they want fast. If you need a brochure-style site without a shopping cart instead, our business website package may be the better fit.
Getting paid is the part that matters most, so your ecommerce website South Africa store is set up with the payment gateway you choose. We use Yoco by default, which handles South African card payments securely and settles in rand, and we can integrate PayFast, Peach Payments or Paystack instead if you need Instant EFT, buy now pay later, subscriptions or a gateway you already use. Pricing, checkout, and totals all run in South African rand, so there is no currency confusion at the till.
Every store gets a branded design built around your logo, colours, and the look of your business, so your shop feels like yours and not a generic template. We follow our straightforward 3-stage process: we plan the store and gather your products and branding, we build and style the shop with your 10 products and payment checkout, then we review it with you and go live once you are happy. Hosting is billed separately or you can supply your own, and we can set you up with affordable .co.za annual hosting if you need it.
Your online store is built to work properly on phones, since most South African shoppers browse and buy on mobile, and we keep the site fast and light so pages load quickly and checkout does not frustrate buyers. You can sell physical products, and the store is structured to handle real orders with stock, categories, and a clean cart-to-checkout flow. How long the build takes depends on the size of the store and how quickly product details come through, and we confirm the timeline once the scope is agreed. You can see examples of our work on our portfolio page.
Launching is the start, not the finish. Ongoing SEO is not part of this or any website package. It is a separate service, Monthly SEO Maintenance, if you want help getting your products found in search. For updates and changes without the SEO side, our website maintenance service is billed by the hour, with the cost agreed before any work starts. When you are ready to sell online, request a quote through our quote request page and we will get your store underway.
