Website Development in Durban

There is no single figure, and any number quoted before scoping is a guess. Cost is driven by what the system has to do — a marketing site with an enquiry form, a quoting tool, and a customer portal with logins are three very different builds. We scope first, then issue a written fixed-scope proposal, so the number does not move once work starts. You can configure your requirements in the project configurator to get a tailored proposal within 24 hours.

An Online Presence System typically runs 4–6 weeks and a Customer Acquisition System 8–10 weeks. A Digital Operations Platform runs 16–20 weeks, and a Custom Business Platform 12–32 weeks depending on scope. Larger builds are delivered in phases so you see working software early rather than at the end. Faster delivery is possible for time-critical work, subject to a feasibility review.

Both. The deciding factor is whether the work is a good fit, not company size. For a smaller business the first project is usually a focused site that explains the service clearly and captures enquiries properly. For larger operations it is more often a portal, a quoting tool or an integration.

No. We are a South African company based in Johannesburg and deliver to Durban and the rest of KwaZulu-Natal remotely, with scheduled video reviews at each milestone. In practice that means budget goes into development time rather than travel, and review cycles tend to be faster than arranging on-site meetings allows.

Yes — the North Coast including Umhlanga and Ballito, the Westville and Pinetown corridor, Hillcrest and Kloof, Pietermaritzburg and the wider province. Delivery is remote, so location within KZN makes no practical difference to how a project runs.

Yes. The work we can build for operators in that space includes structured quote requests, quoting tools that calculate from rates you maintain, job and consignment records, customer portals showing status and documents, and operational reporting. We integrate with courier and tracking APIs where the provider exposes one — we confirm what a specific API supports during scoping rather than assuming it. We do not have a direct Port of Durban or Transnet data integration.

Yes, and it is usually the highest-value part of the build. An enquiry can be captured from the site or another channel, written to a database or your CRM against a customer record, used to generate a quote or job, and put on a follow-up schedule so nothing depends on someone remembering.

Yes, and it does not need replacing. The practical approach is to let enquiries arrive on whichever channel the customer prefers, then get the details into one structured record so quoting, follow-up and reporting work from a single source rather than from a chat history on one person's phone. We build the structured side of that; we are not reselling a WhatsApp product.

Yes. Booking and intake flows, South African payment gateways such as PayFast, Peach and Yoco, and authenticated portals where customers or staff see only their own records are all standard scope. Logins are typically the largest single step up in a project because of the permissions and data-access rules involved.

Next.js and TypeScript for the application, with Postgres for data and a component architecture written for the project rather than inherited from a theme. It is a mainstream stack, so any competent developer can maintain it after handover. Monthly care plans are available if you would rather we handle hosting, updates and support.

You do. Full ownership of the source code, designs, documentation and project assets transfers to you on completion of final payment, with no licence, retainer requirement or proprietary lock-in. You can take the project to another developer the day after launch.

Yes. A rebuild is usually scoped around what has to be preserved — existing URLs and their search rankings, content, integrations and any data already in the system. Getting redirects right during a rebuild matters more than the design work, because that is where established sites most often lose traffic.

Configure your requirements in the project configurator for a tailored proposal within 24 hours, or book a consultation if you would rather talk it through first. Either way you get a written scope covering what is included and what is explicitly not, before any commitment.
