Pricing
Website, Software and SEO Prices in Zimbabwe
What it costs to work with us.
We start from the business problem, not a predetermined technology package. So every figure on this page is a starting point, not a fixed price. Most are once off, and none include hosting or domains.
The final price depends on how complex the system is, how well what already exists is documented, and what the business actually needs. We confirm it once we understand the problem.
Tell us what isn't working01 · Solution Architecture
Solution architecture and software planning costs
We work out what should actually be built before development begins. We only recommend it where the workflow is unique to the business and cannot be served by an existing product or a well-known way of working.
Full service overviewSmall builds
Mapping the workflow, the information and the systems involved, then deciding what should be built, integrated or left alone. If an existing tool already fits, we will tell you.
From
$300

02 · Systems Engineering
Website and custom software development prices
Applied to every new build. We treat a website as the entire system, not a brochure, so even the smallest one is built to capture and measure the enquiries it brings in.
Full service overviewBusiness website
A website that tracks enquiries and Google Analytics key events as a minimum.
From
$350
Website with a lead management system
For websites that need a database, lead assignment, lead tracking and the WhatsApp Business API. The final price depends on the requirements.
From
$750
Custom business software
Mobile, desktop or web systems that map the business workflow end to end, from lead generation to deal tracking or other operations. Priced by complexity.
From
$1,000
Good to know
We do not currently run Google Ads or other paid campaigns. What we build is the foundation that makes them measurable: campaign and platform attribution, so every enquiry can be traced back to where it came from. Whether your internal marketing team or a third-party agency runs the ads, the business can see which campaign or platform is producing results and decide where to spend more.

03 · Integration & Automation
Business automation and system integration costs
Connecting the systems you already use and removing unnecessary manual handoffs. Usually paired with solution architecture.
Full service overviewIntegration & automation
Priced by the number of systems involved and the complexity of the workflow between them.
From
$500
Good to know
We cannot automate a workflow that is not understood, or integrate tools when nobody has defined how they should communicate. That is why this work usually starts with solution architecture.
Where the systems involved are legacy and cannot support the integration, such as an older PHP monolith, the work becomes technical modernisation and is priced at that rate.

04 · Technical Modernisation
Legacy system modernisation costs
Improving the software you already have. It costs more than a new build because existing data, logic and behaviour have to be understood and migrated without disrupting the business.
Full service overviewSimple systems
Systems that can be modernised without a full rebuild.
From
$750
Complex or legacy systems
Systems with no documentation, or built on legacy technology where a full rebuild may be the safer option.
From
$1,000

05 · Search Visibility & AI Discovery
SEO and AI search visibility pricing
A monthly engagement priced around the business's requirements: a fee for the work we do, plus an agreed budget for the activity that earns visibility.
Full service overviewWork done
Our ongoing work on your visibility. Most engagements first need groundwork from systems engineering or solution architecture: the lead attribution flow, key event set-up, website structure and content hierarchy.
From
$250
per month
Agreed budget
Paid on top of the work fee, and covers link building and similar activity. It varies with the business's budget and needs, but we recommend at least $500 for an engagement that produces results.
Recommended
$500+
per month
Team training
Basic, non-technical SEO fundamentals taught to your content team, at the same price regardless of team size. When the engagement ends, your team can carry on with internal linking, content production and the other work that keeps the site fresh.
From
$150
per 1-hour session
Good to know
Search visibility does not hold still once the engagement ends. A site that stops being updated loses the digital freshness that keeps it trusted by search engines and AI systems. Training means your team can keep that going without depending on us for every update.

After launch
Once-off build prices, then support and maintenance
Most of our prices are once off. You pay for the build, not a subscription to keep it. Only search visibility and maintenance after the free support period are monthly.
Support and bug fixes
Every system we build includes two months of support and bug fixes after launch.
Free
for 2 months
Ongoing maintenance
Keeping the system updated, secure and running well. We discuss what it should cover as the free period comes to an end.
From $150
per month, from month 3
Maintenance is not search visibility
Maintenance keeps the system working. It does not make the business easier to find. A $350 website, for example, still needs ongoing search visibility and AI discovery work to keep earning enquiries, and that is priced separately.
Not included
We do not sell hosting or domains
Our prices cover our work. Domains, hosting, email and other third-party services are priced differently by each provider, and the business pays for them directly.
Domain registration
A .co.zw domain costs roughly $2 to $6 a year, depending on the registrar.
Hosting and infrastructure
Servers, databases and other infrastructure, priced by the provider and the size of the system.
Business email
Email services such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, priced per user by the provider.
Paid advertising
We do not currently run Google Ads or other paid campaigns, and ad spend is paid to the platforms directly. Our systems track which campaigns and platforms produce enquiries.
Other third-party services
Paid tools and APIs the system depends on, such as the WhatsApp Business API, billed by each provider.
Your accounts, in your name, from day one
Most of what a business expects to be handed over at the end of a project is already in its rightful place. Your domain, hosting and other accounts are registered in your name, paid from your card or accounts, and the passwords are yours. You give us access so we can make sure your systems run on them properly. What we hand over is the source code.
On search visibility
We do not sell SEO, AEO, GEO or AIO separately.
They are not services we offer on their own. Our search visibility and AI discovery work exists to make sure the business is easy to find, understand and choose, in Google and in AI-generated answers. One engagement covers all of it.
The same applies to content. We do not charge for content production as a separate service or deliverable. It is a means to visibility, not the thing you are paying for.
What moves the final price
The starting price covers the simplest version of each engagement. These are the things that take it higher.
- 01
System complexity
How many users, roles, workflows, exceptions and integrations are involved.
- 02
Documentation
Undocumented systems have to be understood before they can be changed safely.
- 03
What the business actually needs
Two businesses asking for the same thing rarely need the same thing.
FAQ
Questions about pricing
How do we get an exact quote?
Tell us what isn't working on WhatsApp. We ask about the workflow, the systems involved and what the business needs, then confirm the price before any work begins.
Do you charge for a discovery phase?
Not always. A paid discovery only makes sense when the problem or the solution is genuinely unclear. If the workflow is already understood, we move straight to a pilot or the build.
Can we start small and add to the system later?
Yes. We often start with the smallest version that solves the problem and build on it once the workflow has proven itself. We design the architecture so that new requirements do not force a rebuild.
Can you take over a system another company built?
Yes. We assess what exists before quoting. Well-documented systems can often be extended. Undocumented or legacy systems usually fall under technical modernisation pricing. Our software handover checklist shows what you should have before a developer leaves.
Do you sell SEO packages based on a number of keywords?
No. Keyword counts say little about whether the right people will find the business. We explain why in What's Actually Included in 20-Keyword SEO Packages?
What does the SEO training cover?
Basic, non-technical SEO fundamentals for your content team: internal linking, producing useful content and keeping the site's information current. It does not cover technical SEO.
Can you train our team if you did not build our website?
Yes, though we do not recommend it. Not every website is built to the standard we work to, and good content cannot fully make up for a weak structure. Where we do train teams on sites we did not build, we adapt the training to the site without compromising on what we teach.
