Why clients choose us

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost in Zimbabwe?

Websites start from $50 for a single-page site and run up to about $400 for a full e-commerce build. Hosting is free — you only pay extra if you want business email hosting. The $250 Startup Combo bundles branding, logo, company profile, website and social media setup.

How long does it take to build a website?

A standard business website is delivered in 3 days once we have your content and branding. Mobile apps typically take 6–12 weeks depending on complexity, with milestone check-ins throughout.

How much is a domain name in Zimbabwe?

A .co.zw domain costs $7 per year and a .com domain costs $15 per year. We register and configure the domain for you as part of the build.

Do I need to pay for hosting and maintenance?

Hosting is free on every website we build. Monthly maintenance is $20 per month and covers security updates, content changes and technical support. The only extra charge is business email hosting if you need custom addresses like you@yourcompany.co.zw.

Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page?

Yes. A Facebook page is rented space — you don't own your followers and the algorithm decides who sees your posts. A website is an asset you own, shows up on Google searches your page never will, and lets you collect enquiries and sell 24/7. Buying your own domain name (a .co.zw at $7/year or .com at $15/year) gives you a professional web address that builds trust. We also help define your brand character — tone, colours and personality — so the site feels like you. You can share website design ideas, including competitor sites you admire, and we'll build something that stands out. A website also lets you publish comprehensive business info — services, pricing, FAQs, testimonials and contact details — all in one place.

What do I need to get started?

Not much — we guide you through every step. Bring your business name, a short description of what you do, any logo or photos you have, and your brand character (the personality and tone you want customers to feel). Share website design ideas or competitor sites you admire — we use them as inspiration. We also need comprehensive business info: services, pricing, contact details, operating hours and common customer questions. Don't have a domain? We register a .co.zw ($7/year) or .com ($15/year) for you. No logo? Our $250 Startup Combo covers brand development, logo and company profile too.

Can you integrate EcoCash, InnBucks or OneMoney?

Yes. We integrate Zimbabwean payment gateways including EcoCash, InnBucks and OneMoney into e-commerce sites and mobile apps.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. Maintenance at $20 per month covers security updates, content changes and technical support.
