Save
Money
The goal of any business and individual is to earn
money so they spend most of their time and efforts
devoted to that goal.
What many however forget is that saving R100 or
earning R100 is precise the same extra money in your
pocket so it make just as much sense to save as to earn
money.

Website Design
A web designer charge R5995 for a complete website
and then you must for example ADD R495 to integrated a
Forum and ADD another R6495 to integrate an eCommerce
system.
Our prices on www.website-shop.co.za
where we offer complete websites for
free up to less than a thousand rand speaks for
themselves and you can add many more features for
free or at the fraction of above prices.
Other
Just a SINGLE visit to a dentist, a tank petrol or
family outing can easily cost you a few hundred rands.
With that in mind is a few
hundred to OWN a website and domain name or rent web
hosting space for one year too much for your business?

Why the HUGE difference in prices-
With Telkom the answer is simply - Greed
Many other BIG companies also plain abuse their
customers with expensive prices but I think that, if you
believe that a BIG company will offer "better"
services than a smaller company then you cant blame them
for getting even richer with your money.
In general the medium and smaller ISPs are however
very competitive so their prices dont differ too much.
With regards to our own business we are still small
enough to care about our customers and do everything in
our power to make things as easy and cost effective as
possible for them. Our low prices and many value
added services such as the free and low cost websites
that we offer is proof enough.
In the case of web designers and developers things
are a bit different and the service of a cheaper web
designer or developer are mostly justified by the
personal and unique designs and programs.
While website designers and developers offer a
valuable service for a personal, unique and VERY fine
tuned approach open source software and templates offer
a very low cost or even free alternative for people that
simply wants to get the job done without caring TOO much
about the finer details.
At present many open source software are so advanced
that if would be very difficult for even a group of
website designers to match the features offered by such
software and who will anyway pay tens of thousands and
even hundred thousands to reinvent the wheel-
Search Engine Optimization
Many web designers and developers would also explain
that their personal attention and techniques will help
to optimize your website for search engines but the
reality is that it dont.
The initial search engine optimization for a website
is easy enough but the REAL difference is in the
quantity and quality of content that you have on your
website and no website designer or developer will add
such content for you so you have to provide the content
yourself anyway.
