Keep the site you have. Add a shop to it.
Your website already works - it just doesn't sell. We add a proper online shop to your existing site, with South African payment gateways and no per-order commission, without breaking anything that's already there.
From R9,500
once-off, scoped and priced before we start
Who this is for
You already have a website that does its job - people find you, the pages load, the phone rings. Now you want to sell: products, hampers, vouchers, pre-orders. Rebuilding from scratch feels like paying twice for something that mostly works, and you're right. If your site runs on WordPress or a similar platform, you don't need a new website - you need a shop added to the one you have.
What we do
First we audit your site - hosting, platform, plugins, performance - so there are no surprises. Then we build the shop on a staging copy, not your live site: products, payment gateways, delivery or collection flows, order emails. You review it, click through it, and place a test order. Only when you're happy do we launch, and your existing pages, content, and search rankings stay exactly as they are.
Your content stays put
Nothing about your existing site changes unless you ask for it. Your pages, images, copy, and the search rankings you have built up all stay exactly where they are - the shop is added alongside them.
South African payment gateways
PayFast, Yoco, SnapScan, Zapper - we set up the gateways your customers already know and trust, settled in rand straight to your bank account.
You own every part of it
The shop lives on your domain and your hosting, in your name. No per-order commission, no lock-in - if we part ways tomorrow, you keep everything.
What's included
- Technical audit of your existing site before we start

A redesign of your existing site (that's a Site Refresh or Rebuild), product photography, content writing for large catalogues, custom courier or ERP integrations (scoped and quoted separately), ongoing maintenance after launch (covered by the standard Care Plan at R3,000/month).
Who this is for
Western Cape small businesses with a working website and something to sell - retailers, delis, farm stalls, artisan producers, and restaurants that want to take orders. If your site is on WordPress or a similar mainstream platform, this is usually the fastest, most affordable way to start selling online.
Questions about adding a shop
No. We build the shop on a staging copy of your site, so your live site keeps running exactly as it is. The launch itself is a short, planned switchover - typically done at a quiet time of day, and reversible if anything looks wrong.
That's the usual case, and it's fine. The audit we do first tells us how your site was built and whether anything needs attention before the shop goes in. We don't need the original developer involved, and we'll be honest with you if we find something that makes a different approach more sensible.
Nothing - it stays. Your pages, images, and copy remain exactly as they are, along with the search rankings they have earned. The shop is added alongside your existing content, not instead of it.
From R9,500 once-off, depending on your catalogue size and payment or delivery needs. We scope and price after the audit, before any work starts - the number we agree is the number you pay.
No. Once the shop is live, we take nothing per order. The only per-transaction cost is the payment gateway's standard processing fee, which goes to the gateway, not to us.
Then we'll tell you plainly, show you what we found, and recommend the honest alternative - usually a Site Rebuild with the shop built in from the start. You decide; no pressure either way.
