A website refresh is a modern rebuild of your existing website using Next.js — improving page speed, adding proper SEO structure, updating the design, and optimising for conversions. It is not a full redesign from scratch; we keep your brand, content, and URL structure while upgrading everything under the hood.
An SEO upgrade adds technical SEO foundations that most older websites lack: proper heading hierarchy, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and Core Web Vitals optimisation. Together, a refresh and SEO upgrade can transform a slow, invisible website into a fast, Google-friendly lead machine.
Why Refresh Instead of Redesign?
A full website redesign can cost R10,000–R25,000 and take 6–12 weeks. A website refresh is typically R3,500–R8,500 and takes 2–4 weeks. If your brand is still strong and your content is mostly good, a refresh gives you the speed and SEO benefits of a modern site without the cost and time of a full rebuild.
For many South African small businesses, a website refresh is the most cost-effective way to start getting more enquiries from Google. Your existing site may have good content but be held back by slow loading times, poor mobile performance, or missing SEO tags that Google needs to rank you.
