What do you actually need fixed?
Most people arrive with a problem, not a service name. Pick the one that sounds like your week, or go straight to online stores, landing pages or WordPress development.
"Nobody can find us on Google."
You exist, but your competitors show up first. We fix the technical foundations, target the terms your buyers actually type, and get you into AI answers too.
SEO services →"Our website looks old and loads slowly."
A site built in 2016 costs you sales every day. We rebuild it fast and mobile-first, and keep whatever rankings you already have.
Website redesign →"We lose enquiries after hours."
Customers message at night and go with whoever replies first. An assistant answers, qualifies, and pushes the lead to your WhatsApp instantly.
AI chatbots →"We have nothing yet, and no idea what it costs."
Fixed-price packages, written down, with no surprise invoices. You'll know the number before you commit a cent.

Three things that separate us from the agency down the road.
Built to rank
Every site is structured for search from day one, page architecture, schema markup, Core Web Vitals. We do not just design it, we engineer it to be found.
Fixed pricing
You know the number before you pay a cent. No hourly creep, no "that's extra" invoices at handover. The quote is the price.
We stay after launch
Most agencies disappear the day the site goes live. We host it, patch it, monitor it and keep improving the rankings, on one monthly care plan.
Four things. All of them, properly.
We only sell work we deliver every week for paying clients. Anything outside this list, we'll say so and point you to the right people.
AI & Automation
The reason we're Dube AI and not another web design shop. Your business answers customers around the clock, qualifies them, and hands you only the ones worth calling back, exactly like the assistant running in the hero above.
- Website assistants that answer questions and capture leads
- WhatsApp automation that qualifies before you pick up the phone
- Quote, booking and document workflows that run themselves
- AI strategy sessions for teams who don't know where to start
SEO & AI Search
The same playbook that put a client's pages on top across ten cities, pointed at yours, including the new work of getting cited by ChatGPT and Gemini.
SEO services →Web Design

What are missed enquiries costing you?
Most enquiries arrive outside office hours, and most people simply contact the next business on the list. Move the sliders to your own numbers.
per year, if the enquiries you currently miss got an instant reply instead.
How this is worked out: we assume 45% of enquiries arrive outside working hours, and that half of those go elsewhere before you reply. It's an estimate to help you think, not a promise, your real numbers will differ.
Client results you can go and check yourself.
Most agencies show you templates. We'd rather you searched for our clients on Google right now and saw where they land, then asked us for the Search Console data behind it.

Questions people ask before they call
How much does a website cost in South Africa?
Our Launchpad package, a complete five-page site, is R7,500 once-off plus R1,250 a month for hosting and maintenance. A larger business website of eight to twelve pages starts at R15,000, and a WooCommerce online store at R25,000. The final number depends on pages and products, and it's confirmed in writing before you pay a deposit. Anyone quoting you without asking what you sell is guessing.
See all packages and pricing →What makes a good website design company in South Africa?
Three things you can check before you sign anything. One, can they show you live client sites and where those sites rank, not just screenshots of designs. Two, is the price fixed in writing, or does it drift once work starts. Three, do they stay after launch, because a site nobody maintains breaks within a year. Ask any agency those three questions and the shortlist gets short fast.
How long does it take to build a website?
Two to four weeks for most business websites, once we have your content and images. Online stores take longer depending on the product catalogue. We book a build slot when the deposit is paid, so the date is real rather than hopeful.
Will my website actually rank on Google?
Every site we build is structured for search from the first day, proper page architecture, schema markup, fast loading and mobile-first. But ranking is ongoing work, not a switch. Sites on our SEO care plans typically start moving within three to six months, which matches what we've measured across our client accounts.
What is a website care plan and do I need one?
It covers hosting, security updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring and small content changes, from R1,250 a month. You don't have to take one, but WordPress sites left unmaintained get hacked or break after updates, and rebuilding costs far more than maintaining. Cancel with 30 days notice at any time.
Can you add an AI chatbot to a website I already have?
Yes. The assistant works on any website, not only ones we've built, WordPress, Wix, Shopify or custom. Setup starts at R4,500, and it's trained on your services, your prices and your service areas so the answers are yours rather than generic.
Do you work with businesses outside Gauteng?
Yes. Everything we do is delivered remotely, so location doesn't change the work or the price. We work with clients across South Africa and throughout sub-Saharan Africa, where quotes are issued in US dollars.
