Website management
Website management and maintenance, handled for you
Your plan includes one website change every month, and we look after the site itself, so you never have to learn a website builder or remember to update anything.
One website change per month, included
A change is one update to your website, such as new hours, a new service, new photos or changed prices. You ask for it in your dashboard, we confirm a date, and we email you when it is live.
Unused changes do not carry over. If you need another one in the same month, an extra change costs R350 once-off. We may decline a change that would be unlawful, misleading or harmful to the website, and we tell you why.
Website maintenance we do without being asked
- The HTTPS certificate on your domain, set up and renewed.
- Platform improvements, rolled out to your site deliberately and checked again before they go live.
- Spam protection on your enquiry form, and the delivery of every enquiry, with failed sends sent again.
- Nothing to update on your side: there are no plugins, themes or passwords on the site itself.
Your dashboard
You sign in with a single-use link sent to your email, so there is no password to remember. In your dashboard you can:
- Request changes and see the date and status of each one.
- Read every enquiry, and reply on WhatsApp or call back in one tap.
- See how many form enquiries, WhatsApp taps and call-button taps your site brought in each month, compared with the month before.
- Choose an optional daily summary email of new enquiries.
- Manage your email accounts, on the Local Business + 5 Email Accounts plan.
- Download your invoices.
The dashboard is available in English and Afrikaans.
Why you cannot edit the live site directly
Edits you make in your dashboard reach us as change requests, not as changes to the live site. That keeps the site fast and correct: every change is made by us and checked before it goes live, and a slip of the finger never takes your contact details offline.

Questions about website management
Can I edit my website myself?
Not directly. You ask for a change in your dashboard and we make it, so every change is checked before it goes live. Your plan includes one website change every month.
What counts as one change?
One update, such as new hours, a new service, new photos or changed prices. Unused changes do not carry over, and an extra change in the same month costs R350.
What happens if a payment fails?
We let you know, and Stitch, our payment provider, tries your card again once a day for three days. If it still has not gone through, you add your card again under Billing, and your monthly payment moves to that day. Your website stays live, but website changes are paused once the retries have run out, until the account is up to date.
Do I get a report on how my website is doing?
Your dashboard counts form enquiries, WhatsApp taps and call-button taps each month and compares them with the month before. If you want Google Analytics as well, we set it up, and it loads only for visitors who accept it.
