THE FOUNDING COLLECTION

Good work.
Clear expectations.

Our introductory website offer gives the first 20 qualifying South African clients a considered starting point. Here’s what you’re choosing, what it costs and what happens next.

A request is free. We confirm your scope, delivery date, eligibility and remaining availability in writing before payment. Adding an item to your bag does not reserve a place.

Website + care

R2,500 setup + R500 per month from launch. A website for your business, with hosting and defined ongoing care.

Care continues at R500 per month, billed in advance. It covers static website hosting and SSL within the agreed provider limits, availability and backup checks, a monthly link/enquiry check, and up to 30 minutes of small text or image changes each month. Unused editing time does not roll over.

Month-to-month care can be cancelled in writing before the next billing date. Service continues to the end of the paid period; we arrange an orderly export before hosting ends. Care does not include redesigns, new pages, advertising, email hosting or maintaining custom apps.

Website + handover

R7,500 once-off. R3,750 after scope approval to begin; R3,750 after approval, before launch and handover. We provide the website files, a simple guide and one deployment to a compatible hosting account you control.

No monthly Silk subscription is included. You pay your chosen provider for hosting and domain registration/renewal. Future changes and ongoing maintenance can be quoted separately.

Included in both

What we scope separately

Online payments, product catalogues, booking engines, customer accounts, custom apps, integrations, AI services, advanced copywriting and additional pages require a separate proposal. Domain costs, paid imagery and third-party subscriptions are disclosed separately before you agree. There is no promise of a particular Google ranking or number of leads.

How the first 20 places work

The introductory rates apply to the first 20 qualifying South African website clients whose scope is accepted and initial payment has cleared. Silk confirms availability manually before issuing an invoice. There is no live availability counter on this website. One founding website offer per business.

International package prices are published in GBP for clients worldwide. The final scope, currency, payment schedule and local requirements are confirmed in writing. The founding ZAR website rates apply only to qualifying South African businesses.

From hello to launch

  1. Request. Pick your service and send your short brief.
  2. Agree. We confirm what’s included, the actual delivery date, any external costs and the payment schedule.
  3. Create. Once the scope is accepted, initial payment clears and content is ready, we build and share your preview.
  4. Refine. You review the work and send your consolidated changes.
  5. Launch. After approval and the final project payment, we run the agreed checks and launch or hand over.

Before-launch cancellation is reconciled against the agreed milestones and completed work, with any unearned balance returned. The written quote sets out the final terms before you commit. Advertised service prices are the total Silk service amounts; the invoice will identify the legal seller and applicable tax treatment.

A larger idea?

A client portal, a booking journey, an online store or a task you want to automate starts with understanding how your business works. Add it to your bag as a proposal item or tell us about it directly.

Combining packages

Website + Care includes its monthly care plan. Brand Essentials, Content Studio and Workflow Setup can be added at their published rates. Studio Partner includes care and content; when chosen with Website + Care, only the Studio Partner monthly fee is charged. A handover website can add care by choice. Standard Website Care is for compatible business websites, not online stores or custom applications; those need a tailored support scope. Care-only and Studio Partner requests require an existing website URL for review.

Shop packages & monthly services

The Shop and individual package pages define the page count, deliverables, review rounds, timing and exclusions. The website packages cover up to five pages, one business and one language. These details are included in your written scope before work begins.

Standard and founding rates

Silk’s newly published South African standard rate is R5,500 + R750/month for Website + care and R12,500 for Website + handover. Founding rates remain R2,500 + R500/month or R7,500 once-off for the first 20 qualifying South African website clients. Standard rates are new list prices, not claims of prices previously charged. The founding R500 care rate is held for the first 12 paid months; changes after that require 30 days’ notice.

Monthly delivery

Website Care is R750/month; Content Studio R2,500/month; Monthly Studio Partner R4,500/month at the published South African rate. GBP rates are shown in the Shop. Services are billed at the start of each agreed month, with no annual commitment. Cancel before the next billing month. Unused change time or content allowances do not roll over. Client approval delays change delivery dates; Silk does not publish unapproved content.

Price and external costs

Displayed prices are the total Silk service fee for the stated package. Required domains, platform subscriptions, usage charges, hosting outside a care plan and payment-provider fees are itemised separately before you commit. Store launches show starting prices and require a fixed written quote. No payment is collected through this website.

Ownership & cancellation

After full project payment, you receive the agreed website source or design deliverables. Third-party fonts, imagery and platforms retain their own licence terms. Managed website clients can request their paid-for website files if they cancel care; a new hosting provider and migration work may cost extra. If a project ends early, completed work is reconciled against agreed milestones and unearned payments are returned, subject to applicable rights.
