Questions,
answered.
How much does website maintenance cost in South Africa?
Care plans are R450, R850 or R1,650 per month depending on how many hours of changes and how fast a response you need.
Can you work on a website or system someone else built?
Yes. Start with a code health check (R2,500 – R5,000) or a small paid change, so you know the state of the system before larger work.
How is ad-hoc work billed?
Pay-as-you-go work is R350 per hour, billed per 30 minutes with a 1-hour minimum. Prepaid 10- and 20-hour blocks reduce the hourly rate and get priority scheduling.
Can I cancel a care plan?
Yes, with 30 days' notice.
Do you offer urgent support?
Urgent or after-hours work is available at the hourly rate plus 25%. The Plus care plan includes priority same-day response.
