QUESTIONS FROM
SOUTH AFRICA BUSINESSES
How much does a custom website cost for a South African business?
Our Starter package is R9,350 (equivalent to $500 USD). This is a one-time investment — no monthly WIX or local agency retainers. We build a custom 10-page React website with full SEO, mobile-first design, and Google Search Console setup. SA agencies typically quote R15,000–R60,000 for equivalent quality.
Why is QX137 significantly cheaper than South African web agencies?
We are India-based, where world-class React and Next.js engineering talent is available at a fraction of the cost of South African or international studios. We pass those savings directly to you. The tech stack is identical — what you're saving is overhead, not quality.
Is my website POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) compliant?
We build websites with POPIA-aware architecture — minimal data collection, clean consent forms, and a privacy policy page template. Full POPIA compliance (appointing an Information Officer, drafting a PAIA manual, handling data subject requests) requires input from a South African data protection attorney. Our technical foundation aligns well with POPIA requirements.
Can you build websites optimised for South African cities on Google.co.za?
Yes. We optimise for Google.co.za, add LocalBusiness schema with your South African address, and create content targeting local search terms in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, or Port Elizabeth. We also use South African English spelling and locally relevant terminology throughout.
Should I use a .co.za or .com domain for my South African business?
.co.za is the trusted standard for South African businesses and ranks strongly in Google.co.za local results. It requires a ZACR-registered domain provider. .com works well if you serve both SA and international clients. We set up either domain correctly with the right geo-targeting signals in Search Console.
How does my website handle South Africa's load shedding impact on user experience?
We build with performance-first principles that help users on unstable connections — lightweight React code, optimised images (WebP format), CDN delivery, and progressive enhancement. Users on intermittent mobile data during load shedding will still be able to load and interact with your site. Our 95+ PageSpeed score translates directly to fast loading even on slower connections.
What is the payment process from South Africa?
Payments are in USD via Razorpay (R9,350 / $500). SA Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards work seamlessly. The 50-50 split means R4,675 upfront and R4,675 after you approve the design. No PayFast or local gateway required — Razorpay handles international card processing cleanly.
