“The support team are very supportive and helpful. They assisted freely to migrate all my websites to their server.”
Do I pay anything to see my website?
No. Answer a few questions and we build it in about a minute. You only pay if you want to keep it, and we hold it for 14 days while you decide.
Who owns the website?
You do. It is a normal WordPress website on your own domain. If you ever leave, you take it with you.
What if I do not like what the builder makes?
Change a line and build it again, as many times as you like. When you are close, our designer finishes it properly.
What counts as a change?
Text, photos, prices, opening hours, a new section or a new page. Website Care includes two a month and Care Pro six. Bigger jobs are quoted first, and we never start work you have not agreed to.
Can I use my existing domain?
Yes. Keep it where it is and point it to us, or move it across at no extra cost. If you do not have one yet, a .co.za domain is free for the first year on yearly billing.
I already have a website. Can you take it over?
Yes. We move it across free and look after it from then on. Tell us on live chat what it is built with and we will say what is possible.
Is there a contract?
No. Website Care is month to month and you can cancel any time; the website and the domain stay yours. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What happens if I cancel?
The site and the domain are yours to take anywhere, whenever you like. We hand over the files and help with the move.
