Website build costs and monthly support: what to budget for
The build and the monthly plan are separate
The build covers the agreed design, pages and functionality. At Strydes, Starter Presence begins at R2,500, Professional Site at R7,000 and Automation System at R12,000. E-commerce projects are quoted around the store’s requirements.
Essential Hosting & Security: R500/month
This is the basic option for keeping the site hosted with security care. It is available from launch. Routine content updates, ongoing SEO and new functionality are not included.
Growth & Protection: from R1,500/month
This optional plan adds technical maintenance, backups, agreed content updates, SEO care and support. If you select it, a three-month minimum and one month’s notice apply. You do not have to start on this plan to choose the R500 option.
Check any additional costs
Ask which domain, email, payment-provider or other third-party costs are included and which are separate. A clear proposal lets you compare the complete arrangement and choose the level of support your business needs.
