StartUp Website Benefits

The website is yours with a once-off payment. No monthly costs. No strings attached. The website stays online for as long as you pay your hosting company.

The website has a responsive design (mobile-friendly). The design changes depending on the screen size of visitors to your website.

The website is created in Joomla. A program that allows you to sign into the backend of your website to add/change content easily. No coding needed. Just an internet connection and some basic computer knowledge.

And if you spend time and get to know Joomla you can add your own templates or extensions / functions yourself in the future.

StartUp Website Checklist

What you need to get a StartUp Website:

1) DOMAIN & HOSTING

You need a domain & hosting (this is the www.yourname.co.za link & a company that hosts it).

Remember, you are in control of your own hosting. As long as you pay your hosting company your website will be on the internet.

Suggestions for hosting companies:
- Xneelo
- AfriHost
- 1-Grid
- Domains.co.za
- VE Host
- Host Africa
- MWeb
- Vox Telecom
- Axxess
- any other company you prefer

Just make sure that whatever hosting package you choose has at least 1x MySQL database (Ask your host if you are unsure). We need the database to upload your website.

Please Note: We take no responsibility should you stop paying your hosting company and your website disappears. A hosting company is also the one to help you create your own emails and help you set it up on your phones/computers.

2) LOGO & COLOUR

Your website needs to link to your business and brand. The best identifiable element of your business is your logo. We will upload your logo to your website. Don't have a logo now? That's ok, we will use your company's name in a bold font and when you get a logo at a future date, you can upload the logo to your website.

Every website has at least one strong colour that identifies with your company. We can either use the boldest colour in your logo or you can let us know which colour you prefer. This colour will also be the colour of your menu links.

3) PAGE NAMES

With the StartUp Website you have 5 pages (menu links). Send us the list of 4 additional titles we should use to create for your website

Remember the first title will always be HOME.

Page Title Suggestions (but you can name them as you want)

1) HOME
2) ABOUT
3) SERVICES
4) GALLERY
5) CONTACT

Please Note: We setup 5 pages for you, but you can always add more pages yourself.

What you get with your StartUp Website

1) JOOMLA WEBSITE with 5 pages

A website loaded onto your domain with a program (Joomla) that allows you to add/edit your own content in the future.

This includes:
- Adding your logo to the website

- A favicon (that is the small logo next to your website name in the browser's tab)
- Loading the website onto your domain

PLEASE NOTE: The website will be empty with no content. You will have to add the content yourself. By not adding content from our side, we lower our time spend and lower your website costs. However we will gladly upload content to your website for an additional fee and if you supply us with the content.

Also see our additional Add-Ons / Functions / Options that you can add to your website for an extra charge.

Google Listing

Just because your website has been loaded onto the internet does not mean it will show in Google immediately. It takes time.

However we can help speed it up a bit with an initial SEO Google Setup as an extra option to fasten the process (but keep in mind, it takes Google time to add your website to their Google listings)

Initial Google SEO (Seatrch Engine Optimization)@ R550  includes:
