Your website should be your best salesperson.

Common questions, honest answers.

Real questions from real client conversations — answered direct.

• How long does it take to build a website?

  +

  Every project is unique — there is no fixed turnaround we quote off a list. Most clients don’t know exactly what they need at the first meeting, and we don’t pretend to either. The first meeting is for listening: who you serve, what the site has to do commercially, where the gaps and the proof are. From there, Riaan guides the conversation toward a brief we can honestly cost and timeline. Once the brief is locked, the schedule is locked in writing — and you always know where the project stands.

• Do you only work with clients in Port Elizabeth?

  +

  No. We work with clients across South Africa — Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and beyond — and internationally in the USA, Australia, the Netherlands, England and New Zealand. Most work is done remotely with clear communication every step of the way.

• What makes your websites different from a cheap template?

  +

  We’re a Google Certified Partner — a status the team maintains by writing annual exams and staying current with Google’s ranking criteria through its podcasts and documentation. We reverse-engineer every website from the commercial result. Before a single pixel is designed, we ask what the business needs — leads, sales, or subscriptions — and shape the design, user experience and page speed around the perfect client. Templates are generic. Our sites are built around your business, your customers and your growth goals.

• How long until my site ranks on Google?

  +

  Google’s own position is that no one can promise a specific timeline — and we won’t either. Their documentation states plainly that "crawling can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks" and that "Google doesn’t guarantee that it will crawl, index, or serve your page." Once a page is indexed, ranking depends on content quality, technical foundation, trust signals (E-E-A-T) and competition in your niche — all of which compound over time. In practice we typically see indexing and early Search Console signals settle in the first weeks. Long-tail impressions build over the months that follow. Primary commercial keywords stabilise over longer periods as authority earns its place. Every market is different — a low-competition local query behaves nothing like a high-competition national one. If you need traffic from day one, before SEO has had time to compound, that is exactly what Google Ads (CPC) is built for. We run both side by side for most clients — paid for immediate visibility from launch, organic to compound underneath.

• Will my site appear in AI search — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews?

  +

  Yes, but the rules of the game have changed. AI engines look for structured facts and citations, not just keywords. We build sites that are machine-readable so AI can confidently quote your business. Three layers we use to make a site AI-ready: (1) atomic answers — clear 50-word definitions at the top of each topic, easy for AI to lift; (2) JSON-LD schema markup — tagging your prices, services, locations and How-To steps so the AI knows exactly what it’s reading; (3) topical authority and FAQ blocks — giving AI the exact Q&A pairs it needs for conversational queries.

• Do you offer ongoing website maintenance?

  +

  Yes. Our Website Care Plans cover security updates, backups, performance monitoring and content changes — keeping your site fast, secure and current.
