You could build your own website, but you haven't...
Ja, we know. So let us do it for you.
Tell us about your business in a few quick clicks, and our team builds your website.
Don't take our word for it.
“Thank you for my stunning website, I love it. Best service ever!”
“Beautiful website for our tour company in the Bo-Kaap. Dankie!”
“Thanks for the great site. Highly recommend.”
The website builder might be free. Your weekend isn't.
You've been saying you'll sort out a website "just now" for how long? Free builders hand you a blank template and wish you luck. Hectic.
Meanwhile, customers Google you, find nothing, and phone the oke down the road.

“Thank you for my stunning website, I love it. Best service ever!”
Two brus from Cape Town.
TheFirstPage is run by Ruan and Heinrich. We build lekker simple websites for small businesses all over South Africa.
Questions? Shoot.
How much does a website cost in South Africa?
With us, websites start from R375 a month. No setup fee and no hidden extras: hosting, security, your contact form and your CMS are all included. If you need a .co.za domain, that's R150 a year. A custom design or fully custom site costs more, so answer 3 quick questions in our price check and you'll see your exact price on screen.
Why not just use a free website builder like Wix or WordPress?
Ja, you totally can. But be honest: have you? Free builders hand you a blank template, and free plans usually come without your own domain. With us you don't build anything. You tell us about your business, and we do the rest.
How do I get a website for my small business?
Tap Check my price, answer a few quick questions about your business, and pop in your details. A real person from our team gets in touch on WhatsApp, then we build your site, polish the words and put it live on your own .co.za.
How long does it take to get a website?
A few minutes from you, quicker than getting the braai going. Then our team builds it, quick sticks, and WhatsApps you when it's ready to go live.
Who actually builds my website?
Real people, right here in Cape Town. Not a robot, and not a template you have to fight with. You write the gist, we add the twist.
I'm not a computer person. Can I still get a website?
Shame, don't stress. You just answer a few questions, so easy your Ouma can do it. Our team does all the techie stuff.
Do you build websites outside Cape Town?
Ja, all over South Africa. We're based in Cape Town, but everything happens online and on WhatsApp, so it works the same in Joburg, Pretoria, Durban or a dorpie in the Karoo.
Do I need my own domain? What's a .co.za?
Your domain is your web address, like yourbusiness.co.za. It makes you look legit and gives you a matching email. No domain yet? We register one in your name for R150 a year.
How do I know if I already have a domain?
If you have an email like you@yourbusiness.co.za, or you've paid for a web address before, you probably do. Not sure? Tap "Not sure" when you check your price and we'll sort it out.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site we build is set up for Google from day one: fast, mobile-friendly, with the right title, description and business details. For local searches, also set up a free Google Business Profile. We'll show you how.
Is it just a one-page website?
Ja, on purpose. One clear page with everything a customer needs is what gets your phone ringing. That's your first page.
Can I get a custom website design?
Ja. Most sites start from one of our templates, which we tweak to fit you. Want a custom design made just for you, or something fully custom with extra features? We do that too. Pick it in the price check and you'll see your price, or we'll chat and quote you properly.
Can I update my website myself? What's a CMS?
Anytime. Every site comes with a CMS (content management system): the simple back office of your website. Log in, tap what you want to change (words, photos, hours, prices), type and save. No code needed. So easy, your Ouma can do it.
Do I own my website and domain?
Your domain is registered in your name, and your words, photos and logo stay yours. If you ever leave, we help you move your domain.
Can I cancel?
Ja, anytime after your first year. No hassles, no hard feelings.
Your website, sorted now. Not now-now.
You've meant to do this for ages.
A few clicks from you,
and we do the rest.
