- 01
Business websites
Typically R35,000–R140,000. The difference is page count, proof, locations, copy and how tightly the site is built around enquiry.
- 02
Ecommerce
Typically R60,000–R240,000. Catalogue structure, payments, shipping, product content and operations dominate the budget—not the homepage animation.
- 03
Custom web apps
Typically R80,000 and up. Software needs accounts, data, permissions and a first release that is small enough to ship.
- 04
What we do not sell
R2,000–R8,000 template WordPress packages. They exist; they are not how Pixaloom works, and they are rarely cheaper once you add the missing design, SEO and support.
Questions, answered
Before you request a quote.
How much does a website cost in South Africa in 2026?
A custom business website typically starts around R35,000. Ecommerce, integrations and software products cost more because the work includes catalogue structure, payments, operations and testing—not only page design. Template sites advertised under R10,000 exist; they rarely include original design, technical SEO or a conversion path you can measure.
Why do quotes vary so widely?
Price follows scope: number of templates, content, payments, languages, integrations and how much of the current site is worth keeping. Two businesses in the same town can need very different sites. A useful quote names those decisions instead of hiding them in a package name.
Does this estimator replace a quote?
No. It is a planning range so you can budget before a conversation. Pixaloom quotes after we understand the audience, offer, proof and the next action a visitor should take.
What is included in a Pixaloom website?
Discovery, information architecture, custom responsive design, development, on-page SEO foundations, analytics, launch support and a handover your team can own. Hosting, domains and third-party software are billed separately so costs stay transparent.
