Before we build your website, we need to register a domain. The domain is your website address. Choose a name that is short and can easily be remembered. Let us know what your chosen name is (preferably your company name, or something linked to it) and we will check for you if the domain is still available. If it is, we will register it for you.
Every website needs a "host". Social Genius uses Xneelo as the host company. Our domains are all registered through Xneelo, and once we built your website, we upload it to the Xneelo server. Hosting is usually billed at a set amount per month. At Social Genius, we will ensure the hosting is affordable for you.
At Social Genius we use generic html website templates that were created by different designers and companies (reference link at the bottom of the website). Then we adapt these templates to our customer's needs. This allows us to create a professional website for you in record time and at very competitive prices.
The most important part of the website is the content, and this is where YOU come in. In order to fill your website with content (information), you need to submit this information to us. Think carefully how you want to present your business to the world. Imagine the customer being a layman and having absolutely no idea what you do or what your business is about, so you need to explain it to him/her in very simple, basic terms.
These are the steps for you to get your own website.
First, choose what your budget is, and decide if you want to register multiple domains to protect your brand, or only a single domain. If none of the options we offer is affordable for you, please contact us via email or WhatsApp and we can see if we can make a plan for you.
Domain .co.za - R89/year
Domain .org.za - R89/year
Domain .com - R199/year
Domain .org - R259/year
Choose a template for your website. Each template has a different price, depending on how much content that specific website contains. If you don’t like any of the templates below, we can also custom-source a template for you and send you different options. A fully custom-made website will be more expensive.
Generic Templates: R1000 - R2500
Customized Templates: R2500 - R5000
To provide us with content, click on the "I want this Website" button below your chosen template. This will take you to a form where you can fill in the content step by step. The sections can easily be interchanged, duplicated, or deleted. The colours of the background and the fonts can be changed, and the images can be changed. For each section, if there is an image displayed, you will have to provide us with an image of good quality (at least 1500 x 1000 pixels). You will also need to send us a good working file of your logo. If you don’t have a logo, we can design one for you.
Choose one of the website templates in this list and we will make you a website in no time at all, to an affordable price.
"Imperial" is a clean single page website that gives the customer a good overview of what your business is all about. The fastest way to get your website is to provide us with the content, section by section, as seen on the template website. Simply write your content paragraph by paragraph, and make sure you have some text for every heading, sub-heading, and text field. Where there are photos, send us your photos so we can add them to the website. If you provide all the content, we can have your website ready within two days!
"Education" is a single page, a bit more advanced, website. This layout would work well for an educational institution, but can also serve for any other business type. If you like this layout but prefer a multi-page website, we can turn this template into a multi-page website for you, simply by duplicating the different sections and adding them as extra pages. For a multi-page website the price would be R2500 or more, depending on the amount of pages you want to add.
"Evolo" works well for showcasing a product or a service, like an app that people can download, or a service they can hire. This modern design will definitely make you look professional! The images can be replaced by real photos, as long as the photos have clean white backgrounds, so the image can blend into the site. Note the cool pop-up windows when you click on "read more" under "services".
"Greatness" is a multi-purpose website template than can be adapted to almost any kind of business. This template would work well for organistions or associations. The generic template has 4 pages, but any amount of extra pages can be added to this.
"Groovin" is a buisiness website template, that could also be used for events. It has a drop-down "Frequently Asked Questions" section and a clean, straight layout. This is a no-nonsense website, to provide information and hard facts for the customer.
These are all the websites and domains owned, designed and/or hosted by Social Genius
