In Brief…

A website run with a content management system (CMS) – i.e. a dynamic site – can accommodate unlimited number of pages (and posts / content items). A login facility makes it easy for the client to manage (add, change & delete) the websites content without needing any programming knowledge. A CMS powered website has numerous advantages including efficient content management, content and design separation, scalability and improved search engine optimization.

Who needs one?

CMS websites are ideal for businesses that require a medium to large scale web presence and a website that contains content that needs to be managed, changed and expanded on a regular basis.

How much?

The starting price of R 3 800 gives you a CMS installation & a blank white generic design template. Depending on complexity of requirements the price will increase based on design, layout & functionality customization, content creation and page population.

Our “Standard” website hosting plan is ideal for CMS websites and costs R 95 per month – you get 1 GB of space, 1 MySQL database (needed for a CMS site) and 20 email accounts.

You will also need a domain name for your website (R 150 – R 300 per year) – see Domain Name Registration for more info.
