Q1: How much does a WordPress website cost in South Africa?
WordPress website pricing in South Africa varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. At Qum Studios, a professional WordPress website typically starts from R8,500 for a standard business site. Larger sites with custom functionality, e-commerce, or multiple pages are quoted based on your specific requirements. We also offer monthly WordPress Care Plans to keep your site secure, updated, and performing at its best after launch.
Q2: How long does it take to build a website?
A standard WordPress website typically takes 3 to 6 weeks from the time we receive all your content, images, and feedback. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We work to clear timelines and keep you updated throughout the process so there are no surprises. The fastest way to speed up delivery is to have your content ready when we kick off.
Q3: What is a WordPress Care Plan and do I need one?
A WordPress Care Plan is a monthly maintenance service that keeps your website secure, updated, and running smoothly. It covers WordPress core updates, plugin updates, security monitoring, backups, and performance checks. If your website is important to your business — and it should be — then yes, you need one. A neglected WordPress site is vulnerable to hacking, slowdowns, and broken functionality that can cost you far more to fix than a monthly care plan.
Q4: Do you manage Google Ads for small businesses in South Africa?
Yes, Google Ads management is one of our core services. We plan, set up, and manage Google Ads campaigns for small and medium-sized businesses across South Africa. We focus on getting you in front of buyers who are actively searching for what you offer, and we optimise your campaigns continuously to make sure your ad spend delivers real enquiries and leads, not just clicks.
Q5: Can you help my engineering or manufacturing business get found on Google?
Absolutely, this is one of our specialities. We work with engineering, manufacturing, and industrial businesses across South Africa who need their website to generate real project enquiries. We understand your industry and know how to position your business online so the right clients find you. From SEO and Google Ads to website design and content strategy, we build digital marketing systems that work for technical businesses.
Q6: Do you work with businesses outside of Heidelberg?
Yes, while we are based in Heidelberg, Gauteng, we work with clients across South Africa, Namibia, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. All our consultations, strategy sessions, and reporting are done remotely via video call and email, so location is never a barrier. If you are looking for a dedicated digital marketing partner who treats your business like their own, we would love to chat regardless of where you are based.
