Start with the job the website must do
A useful budget starts with business goals, not a page count alone. A brochure site, a lead-generation website and an online store have different workflows, integrations and testing needs.
LIVEWIRE DIGITAL business websites start from R3,999 for a defined small-business scope. That starting point includes responsive implementation, core content pages, an enquiry form, basic technical SEO and deployment configuration.
What changes the scope
Additional page templates, content management, booking, payments, advanced motion and integrations all add design, engineering and testing work. Content readiness also matters: clear approved copy and imagery reduce uncertainty and revision cycles.
E-commerce starts from R19,999 because catalogue, checkout, payment and shipping workflows need more implementation and quality assurance than a standard website.
Budget beyond the build
Domains, hosting, business email, paid APIs, licences and payment-provider charges are ongoing or third-party costs. They are separate from the development estimate unless specifically included.
