He has consulted for some big companies like Sanlam, Old Mutual, Metropolitan Life, Naspers/Media24, Woolworths, Woolworths Financial Services and the South African Government, but finds it a lot more rewarding to work with small businesses.

Hosting Fee: The hosting fee is the cost of storing your website and making it available online. The hosting fee for our package is R149 per month.
Can I cancel my hosting subscription at any time?
Answer: Yes, you have the flexibility to cancel your hosting subscription at any time. We prefer however, that you commit for at least 1 year. However, please note that the free website offer is contingent upon maintaining an active hosting subscription with us. If you do cancel, you will loose your email addresses and all your emails, as well as your website.
Can I upgrade my hosting package in the future?
Answer: Certainly! We understand that your business may grow and require additional resources. You can easily upgrade your hosting package to accommodate your evolving needs.

Answer: If you already have a domain name, but not yet a website, we can assist with the migration process to our hosting platform. If you already have an existing website, but would like it to be redesigned on our platform, we can organise the smooth transition of your domain name to our server, if it is a .co.za domain, the transfer is free and the monthly fee of R149 per month. If it is any other domain name, like a .com or .org there may be a small transfer fee. Your next domain renewal will be billed one year later.

Will my website show up on Google or Google Maps?
Answer: Search engines like Google will add your website to their index, which means potential customers will be able to find and visit your website easily.
