Price Estimates
Below is an estimate of what services through Elevate WebDev would cost you.
These are only estimates and the final price really depend on the individual project.
We guarantee that there will be no hidden costs and all extra costs will be discussed upfront and you will know exactly what you are paying for.
Design and Development Costs
Typically the development of a basic static website (in WordPress and Elementor) costs between R3500 and R4500. This would include your Home page, Contact Page and one or two more pages with static information of your choice.
If further functionality is required, then there might be additional expenses.
You also have to option to get your site coded in PHP or JavaScript if you prefer – these options tend to be a bit more costly and billed by the hour.
Our set fee for design and development is R200 per hour.
Extra Services
Extra services take time and effort from our development team and therefore there are extra costs for these:
Upload and Initialization Fee: R500 to upload and get your website working 100% online.
Account registrations: R500 (e.g. PayFast, PayPal, and other external services)
Paid Pictures/Images: Cost of the images
Extra Plugins: For larger and more complex projects there might be plugins that has a monthly cost to create certain functionality. You would be charged for the plugin’s specific cost (one time cost or monthly fee).
