The rule

50% reservation fee. No exceptions.

Every build starts with a 50% reservation fee. Your slot in the build queue is only confirmed once that lands. The remaining 50% is paid on handover, before your domain goes live. This is not negotiable — it protects both our time.

03 / How I work

Three days. That's it.

Day 01

You message me.

Tell me what you sell, who buys from you, how you take payments today. 15 minutes on WhatsApp. I send you the exact demo that fits your business.

Day 02

I build.

You send your logo, products, bank details, WhatsApp number. I customise the demo to your brand — colours, name, content — and hand you a live URL to review.

Day 03

I hand over.

Your domain goes live. You get a 10-minute walkthrough and access to your seller dashboard. You own everything from that moment — code, domain, data, customers.

04 / The real cost

The numbers.
Do them yourself.

Different ways you could get online. Setup + monthly + five-year total. Ballpark SA market figures — your business might need more or less. Just so you can see what each approach actually costs over time.

Instagram / WhatsApp only

No website, no customer list, no ownership.

These are ballpark figures for the South African market. Your business might need more or less. The math is straightforward — monthly subscriptions add up. Paying once means paying once.

05 / Questions

Straight answers.

Is this really once-off?

Yes. You pay once, you own it. The only recurring cost is your domain (R150/year). Skip the care plan if you want to handle renewals yourself.

What does the care plan cover?

Domain renewal, uptime monitoring, and two free content edits a year. Optional but recommended.

Can I edit it myself?

Yes. You get a phone-friendly dashboard. Change prices, add products, upload photos, mark orders paid and shipped. No code.

What if I want to leave?

You own everything — code, domain, data, customers. I hand it over cleanly. No lock-in, ever.

Who am I talking to?

Me. Not an agency. Not a team. A solo developer who built this system and answers his own WhatsApp. You'll talk to the same person from first message to handover.

Start

Message me.
I'll reply.

Tell me what you sell and where you're based. I'll send the right demo within the hour.
