Step 01One to two business days
We build the preview
You send us what the business does. Within one to two business days you get a link to a working version of your site. No deposit, no contract, no card.
See your new website before you pay for it.
We build your website first. You open it, you look at it, and only then do you decide.

Custom websites you can open before you pay a cent.
Not a mock-up, not a template with your logo dropped in. A real page on a real link, built for your business, sent to your phone within one to two business days. If it is not right, you say so or you walk.

A small studio that shows the work first.
Most quotes ask you to imagine the site and pay for the imagining. We would rather build the thing, send you the link, and let the page make the argument. That is the entire difference, and everything else here follows from it.
Who you deal with
One person answers, start to finish.
Ethan Olivier
Founder · Johannesburg
WebOn is me, Ethan Olivier. I take the brief, write the code and push the site live — there is no account manager in the middle and no handover to someone junior once the invoice is paid. When something breaks at eight on a Friday you are messaging the person who built it. Liam Somers and Declan Barry come in when a business wants a second opinion before committing.
The work is built for the country it is sold in: mid-range Android phones on mobile data, load-shedding, POPIA, and customers who would rather send a WhatsApp than fill in a form. Those aren’t edge cases here, so they’re handled in the build itself rather than bolted on afterwards.
Every site is hand-built in Next.js, not assembled in a page builder or dropped onto a bought theme. No plugin stack quietly slowing things down, no template you’ll outgrow in a year. You end up with clean code you own outright and a site that can be extended later instead of rebuilt from scratch.
No client list yet — WebOn is new, and inventing one would be the first lie on a site whose whole pitch is see it before you trust it. So the proof further down is work you can open, load on your own phone and pick apart. Not logos we borrowed.

Sample builds
Four sites, built to be opened.
Keep scrolling — the wall builds itself. Then hover a tile to watch the real site run inside it, or open it and use it like a customer would.
Samples, not clients. Every business here is invented and every page says so on it.

Three ways in. The same standard of build.

The process
From first message to a live site.
Three moves. No website factory, no ticket queue, no account manager between you and the person building it.
Get my free previewStep 02Your pace
You mark up what's wrong
Copy, photographs, structure, the things only you know about your customers. We change it until it's right.
Step 03Two weeks from your go-ahead
We launch it and look after it
Two to three weeks from your go-ahead the site is live, with domain, hosting, analytics and security handled.
Instead of testimonials
No client list yet. So here is what we hold ourselves to instead.
Six checks, run before anything goes live and again whenever we touch it. They are the same six on every build, including the four samples you just scrolled past.
Accessibility
01Works with a keyboard and a screen reader, and the text stays readable (WCAG 2.2 AA).
Performance
02Loads quickly on a mid-range phone using mobile data, which is what we test on (Core Web Vitals).
SEO
03Set up so Google can find and list your pages, with signals for your part of South Africa (metadata and indexing).
Security
04Reviewed before launch, with customer details handled the way POPIA expects (SSL set to full strict).
Pre-launch QA
05Every page and form tested on a phone, a tablet and a desktop, in more than one browser.
Ownership
06You get the logins, the files and your data, and you can take all of it elsewhere.
Questions
The bits people ask.
If yours is not here, send it. You get a person, not a form response.
Ask us directlyWhat do I get for free?
A working page for your business on a link you can open on your phone: your name, your services, your prices, and your photographs where you have them. If you don't want it, you walk away and pay nothing.
How fast is the preview?
One to two business days from the point we have your business name, what you do and your main services. Going live takes two to three weeks from your go-ahead.
Do I own the site when it's finished?
Yes. You get the logins, the files, and a written explanation of how it is built. You can hand all of it to someone else at any time.
What do you need from me to start?
Your business name, what you do, your main services, and a number or an email address. Send photographs, prices and a logo if you have them. Ten minutes on WhatsApp is enough.
What does a website cost?
Launch starts at R6,000 once-off, and Growth — where the site takes bookings or payments — runs R18,000 to R30,000. Every add-on has a published price. The packages page carries all of it.
Will it work on a phone?
That is the first thing we build for. Every page is tested at phone width, on mobile data, before anyone looks at it on a laptop.
The best time to start is now.
Send us your business name and what you do. You get a link within one to two business days. No deposit, no contract, no card.
One to two business days from the point we have your business name, what you do and your main services. Weekends and public holidays are not counted. Or call Ethan Olivier on 072 769 7117.
