FAQ
What are your starting prices for a website?
Our custom website builds start at R15,000 for WordPress and R20,000 for Shopify. For small businesses, we also offer affordable monthly packages starting at R599 per month. Contact us for a tailored quote!
What platforms do you specialise in?
We specialise in WordPress for versatile web solutions and Shopify for e-commerce growth. We also provide expert SEO services tailored to both platforms.
What’s the difference between a website retainer and a once-off build?
A website retainer ensures your site stays updated, optimized, and running smoothly over time. You get continuous improvements, SEO tweaks, and ongoing support. A once-off build, on the other hand, is a standalone project—after launch, all future updates are your responsibility.
Can I switch from a once-off build to a retainer later?
Yes! Many of our clients start with a once-off build and later move to a retainer when they realize they need ongoing support. We make the transition seamless, ensuring your website continues to grow and perform.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
We work with small to large businesses across South Africa, providing professional, high-performing websites. Whether you’re a service provider, e-commerce brand, or large-scale enterprise, we have a package to suit your needs!
What happens if I cancel my website retainer?
Do you provide hosting services?
Yes, all our website packages include secure, high-performance hosting. Hosting is also part of our monthly membership packages or as a standalone service.
How long does it take to build a website?
Our custom WordPress and Shopify website builds typically take 4–6 weeks, depending on complexity. For small business template kits, we can get you up and running even faster!

As the new owners of Little. People we were looking for a complete revamp that helped incorporate our ideas and thoughts into a streamlined approach that transformed our customers experience. Bringing Tara on board allowed our thoughts and ideas to become a reality. She helped us shape our plans and turned them into more than just a vision but a reality. Salty designs transformed our social media and website into one voice. The theme and patterns were fresh, clean and right in line with our visions. Our website became user friendly and our social media is now flourishing as the theme screams “the perfect shop for my kids needs”. We are so thankful to Tara and her team as they helped us take little people forward in a way we envisioned but could not execute without Tara and her expertise Caro Nytra2023-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I created my whole website with Wild Heart. Tara and Calvin have been super supportive and extremly flexible from the beginning on. There was never a "thats-not-working", but rather than solution for everything. As an unexpected event came up they speed up and made it possible to launch my first website within only more or less 48 hours! I will definitely continue to work with them. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
