Can you set up my account for me?

What do I get for R49 a month?

A four-page website (Home, About Us, Menu/Products/Portfolio and Contact Us) with hosting and an included Site49 subdomain. There is no setup fee.

How long until I see my website?

Your first private demo is ready within two South African business days after you send complete content. One round of changes is included before you approve it, and only the approved version goes live.

How do I pay, and when does billing start?

Billing starts with your first payment. Today you pay by EFT using the bank details shown in your account; card payments are coming soon. WebStarter is paid monthly upfront, and billing continues each month while your business details are still outstanding, until you cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, you can cancel anytime.

Can I use my own domain and email?

Yes. Your site comes with a free Site49 business address (yourname.mysite49.co.za). You can also get your own .co.za domain for R149 for 1 year, or link a domain you already own for free (we give you the DNS setup steps). Business email is a separate add-on; ask us on WhatsApp.

How do I request an edit?

One round of changes is included before approval. After launch, each edit request is R49, paid before we make it. Send us your changes point by point, with any photos or files they need. We make anything that fits the four-page design: text, images, colours, layout or a redesign, contact details, hours and menu, product or portfolio items. New pages or features such as online shops or bookings are not part of WebStarter. Our team follows up with you on WhatsApp.

Can I export the website?

No. Your subscription covers use of the hosted website. Site49 keeps the rights to the design and templates it supplies, and website export is not available.

Let’s go, Mzansi
