Three ways to get a website
You can hire someone, build it yourself, or let Kwickly do most of the work. Here's how they compare for a small business.
| Kwickly | Hiring a web designer | A do-it-yourself builder | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay to start | Nothing. You pay when you put your site online | Usually a deposit, then about R5,000 to R20,000 once-off | Often free to try, then a monthly plan |
| What you pay after that | From R99 a month, with hosting and the padlock included | Hosting, plus whatever each change costs | A monthly plan, often in US dollars, plus any paid add-ons |
| How you start | A full website for your type of business, with your name already on it | Meetings and a written brief | A template that you fill in and set up yourself |
| When you see your site | As you type | After the designer's first draft | As you build it |
| How long it takes | About 15 minutes for a site you're happy with | Often days or weeks | Depends on how much you want to learn |
| Changing a price | Change it on your phone or computer and save | Ask the designer and wait | You do it yourself, often easiest on a computer |
| How you pay | In rand by EFT, with no debit order | By invoice | Usually by card, charged automatically |
| Getting help | WhatsApp us on a South African number | Your designer, when they are available | Usually help articles and online support |
Web designer prices are from ProCompare's 2025 guide. Everything else describes what's typical, and every provider is different. A designer is still the better choice if you need something built specially, like an online shop.
R5,000 would pay for about 4 years of Kwickly.
That's the low end of what a simple website from a designer costs once-off. On Kwickly's Starter plan, it covers about 50 months, with your hosting, padlock and every change you make included.
A website that suits your kind of business
A salon needs bookings, a restaurant needs a menu and a plumber needs a big call button. Choose your type of business and see the whole example website.

On the Business plan, online bookings close on South African public holidays by default.
