Built for South Africa. By South Africa.
SimpleWebSA was built on one frustration: too many South African small businesses were being charged thousands for websites they never got to see in advance — and many ended up disappointed. We decided to change that.
We are a South African web design studio based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, serving clients across the country — from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, and everywhere in between. We work entirely remotely via WhatsApp, so your location is never a barrier.
Our approach is simple: build the demo first, ask for payment after. Every client sees a complete, working homepage before committing to anything. It keeps us honest, keeps our quality high, and removes all the risk from your side.
Questions We Get Asked Most
Everything you need to know before getting started. Still unsure? WhatsApp us any time.
How do I get started and what does it cost?
Getting started is completely free — we build you a homepage demo so you can see exactly what you are getting before any commitment or payment. Once you love the demo, we will send you a custom quote based on your specific needs, the number of pages, and the features required.
What is included in the free website demo?
We build a complete, working homepage that reflects your real business — your branding, content, and style. It is not a template preview; it is an actual page built specifically for you. No obligation to proceed and no payment required to see it. Demo is delivered within 24–48 hours.
How long does it take to build a website in South Africa?
Most websites are completed and live within 3 business days after you approve the demo and provide your content. More complex websites with booking systems, calculators, or product catalogues may take 5–7 days. We always confirm your timeline upfront.
Do I need to know anything about websites or coding?
Not at all. We handle everything from start to finish — design, code, hosting setup, SEO, and launch. You just tell us about your business and we take care of every technical detail. Most clients have zero web knowledge and that is perfectly fine.
Will my website work on mobile phones?
Yes. Every website we build is fully responsive and tested on mobile, tablet, and desktop. Over 70% of South African web traffic comes from mobile devices, so mobile-first design is a priority on every single project — not an add-on.
What is a custom web application?
A custom web application is an interactive tool that runs in any browser — things like quote calculators, booking forms, product catalogues, or invoice generators. No app store or downloads required. Your customers just open the link and use it immediately on any device.
Do you build websites for businesses outside Durban?
Absolutely. We work with businesses across all of South Africa — Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, and everywhere in between. Everything is handled over WhatsApp, so your location makes no difference at all.
Can you help my business rank on Google?
Yes. Every website includes on-page SEO setup — optimised meta tags, proper heading structure, image alt text, speed improvements, Google Search Console setup, and structured data so Google understands your business. For ongoing Google ranking growth, we also offer monthly SEO and content packages.
What makes SimpleWebSA different from other web designers in South Africa?
The free demo model sets us apart completely. No other web designer in South Africa builds you a full, working homepage before asking for a single cent. You see your website, approve it, then decide. Combined with our 3-day delivery, direct WhatsApp support, and South African market knowledge — there is genuinely no comparable option for small businesses.
Do you offer ongoing support after my website launches?
Yes. We offer monthly maintenance packages that include content updates, security monitoring, backups, and direct WhatsApp support. We never disappear after launch — your website is a long-term investment and we treat it that way.
