Look professional
A site that looks like a real business — clear type, a proper layout, and a first impression that doesn’t lose the enquiry.
Websites for trades and service businesses · Johannesburg
A website that makes it easy to enquire — and easy for you to quote.
We build sites for plumbers, electricians, solar, builders and other local services. Clear pages, WhatsApp, and a quote form that sends you the job details — not “please call me.”

The problem
People hear your name, Google you, and leave if the site doesn't help them enquire.
A referral, a van, a neighbour. Then they search. If the page doesn't make the next step obvious, they tap someone else. The job goes to whoever made it easy to ask.
What we do
A site people can use — and you can quote from.
We write from your brief
You send services, areas, and how people reach you. We write the pages. You don’t need polished website copy.
Enquiries + optional guided quote
WhatsApp and a quote form that sends you the job details — not “please call me.” A guided quote is optional if you want customers to describe the job before they hit send.
How we do it
Brief → Build → Preview → Launch
You send the facts. We write and build. You see the site before you pay the balance. Then it goes live. We confirm timing when we take the brief.
- 01
Brief
Send services, areas, how people reach you, and a logo if you have one. WhatsApp or the brief form — same details.
- 02
Build
We write the pages and put the site together from that brief. You don’t need polished website copy.
- 03
Preview
You see it before you pay the balance. We adjust. Nothing goes live on a surprise.
- 04
Launch
The site goes live. 3 months hosting included from that day; month-to-month after. Domain, WhatsApp, Maps, and the usual launch checks.
What you get
A website that works as a sales tool
Not a brochure that sits there. A professional site that explains your offer and makes the next step obvious — so enquiries turn into jobs.
A professional look
Clean layout, strong typography, and a site that feels like a proper business — not a rushed page thrown online. First impressions close or lose enquiries.
Website copy, written for you
You don’t need polished paragraphs. Send a services list, areas you serve, contact details, and any notes or photos you have. We write and structure the site copy — then you approve it before launch.
Enquiries you can quote from
WhatsApp and a quote form that sends job details — not “please call me.” Visitors should never wonder how to reach you.
Google Maps included
Google Maps on your site as standard. Clients can find you. Home-based trades get a service-area / city view, not a private street pin.
Mobile-ready by default
Most enquiries start on a phone. The site is designed and tested on small screens first, so nothing breaks and nothing looks cramped.
Preview, then hosting included
You approve a preview before you pay the balance. When the site goes live, 3 months hosting is included; after that it is month-to-month.

FAQ
Quick answers
The usual questions before you get in touch — packages, copywriting, the Taster, timing, and where we work.
When does the 48/72-hour clock start?
The 48/72-hour clock starts when we have: Deposit, logo or written “no logo”, services list, areas, WhatsApp/phone, and whether you have a domain. Missing photos do not block launch. The promise is the first live version — included revision rounds still apply after that.
Do I own the domain?
Yes — registered in your name. First year included on a new .co.za we register. If you already own a domain, we connect it. The included year applies to a new domain we register, not a credit if you already have one. Renewal after year 1 is yours, or billed through us at cost. SiteBase is technical/admin only.
What email do I get?
You get one professional address on your domain, e.g. info@yourbusiness.co.za, that forwards to the inbox you already use. A paid mailbox (Google Workspace or Microsoft) is optional, quoted separately, and billed to you. Never @sitebase.co.za as your public email.
Will I be on Google Maps in 3 days?
The website can go live in 48 or 72 hours. GBP setup is included — create or claim, categories, services, service areas, hours, website, phone, WhatsApp, and photos you send. Home-based trades get a service-area listing, not a private street pin. You own the listing; SiteBase is Manager only. Google’s verification is separate and can take days. We do not promise map pack or any ranking.
Is hosting included in the build fee?
Yes — 3 months of default Hosting & support from the day the site goes live. After that: Launch R299/mo, Business R350/mo, Custom quoted monthly. Hosting after those 90 days is not free. Plus is optional.
Do you write the website copy?
Yes. Launch, Business, and Custom include writing and structuring the website copy from your brief — services, areas, about, and buttons. You don’t need polished paragraphs. Send a services list, areas you serve, contact details, and any existing text or photos, plus logo and colours if you have them. You approve the copy before launch, in the included revision rounds. Blog or SEO article packs, brand-strategy workshops, and extra pages of content are quoted separately.
What is a Website Taster?
A R350 custom homepage concept with your logo, colours, and services. R350 is fully credited if you continue to Business or Custom. Not toward Launch. If you have already paid a Business deposit, the homepage preview is part of the 72-hour path — not an extra fee.
Do you promise Google rankings?
No. Basic on-page SEO is included. We do not promise map pack, #1, or any ranking. Setup of Google Business Profile is not the same as ranking.
Is Custom on the 72-hour clock?
Custom: Timing confirmed before work starts Guided quote, extra services, and Custom features are scheduled on top and may add time.
