Most websites are completed and ready to launch within two weeks to one month, provided that all required content, including text, images and your logo, is supplied at the start of the project.

More complex websites, including larger websites and eCommerce stores, may require additional development time. We’ll discuss the expected timeline with you upfront and keep you informed throughout the project, so there are no surprises when it comes to your launch date.

SEO is a long-term investment that builds your website’s visibility and organic search presence over time. While some improvements may be noticeable within the first few months, meaningful results typically take three to six months or longer, depending on your industry, level of competition, website authority and the SEO work required.

Because every website starts from a different position, we assess your current online presence and develop an SEO strategy based on your specific goals and opportunities.

Our websites include essential on-site SEO as part of the website development process, providing a strong foundation for search visibility from the start. This includes optimising key elements such as page titles, meta descriptions, headings, content structure and other on-page factors.

Yes. Social media is an excellent way to connect with your audience, build relationships and keep your business visible, but it works best alongside a professional website.

Your social media accounts are hosted on platforms you don’t control, while your website gives your business a digital home that you own and control. A website can also help potential customers discover your business through Google and provides one central place to showcase your services, products, contact details and other important information.

Social media and your website serve different purposes, and together they create a stronger online presence. Use social media to engage and connect with your audience, and your website to provide the information, credibility and resources they need to take the next step.

Yes. We can refresh and redesign outdated websites, migrate existing websites to WordPress, and provide ongoing website maintenance to keep your site secure, updated and running smoothly. Our maintenance services can include software and plugin updates, regular backups, security checks and general website support.

To get your website project underway, we’ll need your business information, branding and website content. This typically includes your logo, company information, details about your products or services, contact details, images and any existing website content you’d like to keep.

It’s helpful to have an idea of the pages and functionality you need, such as an online shop, enquiry forms, booking systems or other features. If you’re not sure what you need, we can guide you through the process and recommend a suitable structure for your website.

We’ll discuss your requirements with you before development begins and provide guidance on the content and information needed for your specific project.

There are several differences, and the right option depends on your business, requirements, budget and how much flexibility you need.

Custom-designed websites are created specifically for your business. The design and functionality are developed around your requirements, rather than starting with a pre-designed layout. This gives you greater flexibility over the look, structure and functionality of your website and allows us to create a truly tailored online experience.

WordPress websites are built using the WordPress content management system (CMS), which makes it easy for you or your team to manage and update your website. WordPress offers thousands of themes and design options, including free and premium themes. Premium themes can provide additional design features, functionality, developer support and customisation options.

It’s also possible to create a highly customised website using WordPress, so choosing WordPress does not necessarily mean using a standard, off-the-shelf design.

Yes, we do!

Web Hosting and Domain Registration is a service provided by us that allows your website to be stored on our servers, which makes all your pages accessible to the World Wide Web. If you don’t have an existing ISP (Internet Service Provider), then you most definitely will need one. We have a few web hosting packages available suitable for all budget types.

Web hosting with 1iDesigns includes:

+ Domain Registration
+ Web Hosting Account
+ Email Accounts
+ SSL Certificate (Secure Site)

If you are currently with a web hosting company but would like to move your web hosting and domain to us, we can back up and migrate your site across for a small additional fee. Please contact us for more information.

Of course! Your domain name is your company name (www.yourname.com). It’s imperative that you book your domain as soon as possible.

When asking us to register your domain, please supply us with a few different name preferences, in case your first choice is already taken. When we register a new domain, it is usually active within 12 – 48 hours.

Our payment terms for all design work and services are as follows:

Paying a 50% deposit is an acknowledgement that you accept our payment terms.

Payment is currently accepted by bank transfer in South African Rand (ZAR).

Our payment terms are 50% upfront and 50% on completion unless arranged otherwise by the owner. The 50% deposit basically secures your company a time slot and allows us to start working on the development of your website.

This process can take 1-4 weeks.

When your site is finished, we will send you a test link. This will allow you to view the site and make final changes/adjustments. When this process has been completed, and you are 100% satisfied with our work, the remaining 50% amount will be paid. Your site will then go live…

Full publication of the web pages may take place only after full payment has been received. Any material previously published may be removed if payment is not received.

Late Payment
Accounts that have not been settled within seven days of our final reminder will incur a late payment charge of 10% of the amount outstanding. If your hosting account is not paid, we reserve the right to shut down your website until payment has been made in full.

We’re based in Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, and work with businesses across South Africa and internationally. With clients in Australia, the UK and Dubai, we’re experienced in working with businesses across different locations and time zones.

Most projects can be managed remotely through email, phone and video calls, making it easy to work with us wherever your business is based.
