Client Testimonials
“The team at Big Web Media initially helped us launch a Visa Logistics website around 2 years ago. The success of that website, which resulted in customer sales increasing by over 350%, has recently led us to re-commission Big Web Media to launch a new corporate website for our company. From design through to development, Big Web Media provide a highly professional service. The value for money they offer is exceptional. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Small Business Website Design FAQs
Some of the most common questions we come across from our customers with smaller companies.
Yes. A website gives your business credibility, control, and a 24/7 shopfront. Most customers search before they call; a site clearly shows what you do, where you operate, reviews, pricing or packages, and makes it easy to enquire or book.
It also centralises your marketing. You can capture leads, track performance, and update content as you grow. Social platforms help, but you don’t own them; your website is an asset you control.
You don’t need to start big. A focused, well-structured site can launch quickly and scale over time. Our packages include clear scope, sensible timelines, training for easy edits, and optional ongoing support.
The cost depends on your requirements, for instance, the size of the site and the templates you require, the complexity of the features you would like to include on the website and how many design mock-ups you would like to see.
For a R5,000 package you can get an Affordable 5-page website designed, that includes some basic information about your business on the home page, a products or services page, a contact us page with a custom form for visitors to make enquiries, your phone number, contact information, map and social media shares.
Our packages are designed to cover different needs and budgets. From simple landing pages to complete e-commerce solutions.
