WooCommerce or Shopify?
I build both, and I will tell you straight which one fits your business.
WooCommerce development
Best for full ownership and room to grow.
- You own your store, your data and your hosting
- No monthly platform fee
- Flexible for B2B pricing and custom features
- Works well with a blog and content marketing
Shopify development
A good fit if you want a fully hosted store with less to manage.
- Built by a Shopify Certified Partner
- Hosting, security and updates handled by Shopify
- Monthly platform fee, less maintenance

Questions, answered
How much does an online store cost in South Africa?
My new online store builds start from R15,000. Your final price depends on your products, design and features. Larger custom builds, B2B stores and migrations are quoted on their own. Your quote is clear, so you see what you pay for.
What do I get from R15,000?
A complete working store: design and build, your products set up, a South African payment gateway and courier shipping. A real build, not a DIY theme.
How long does it take?
Most new stores launch in 4 to 6 weeks. Bigger or more complex stores can take longer, and I will tell you up front.
Should I choose WooCommerce or Shopify?
For most South African businesses I recommend WooCommerce. You own your store, there is no monthly platform fee and it is very flexible. Shopify is a good choice if you want a fully hosted store with less to manage. I will help you pick.
My budget is under R15,000. Can you help?
Yes. My AI Store Setup starts from R4,995 and may suit you better. Choose “Under R15,000” on the form and I will advise.
I already have a website. Can you replace it?
Yes. Choose “Replacing an existing site” on the form and add your current website address.
Where are you based?
I am based in Paarl, South Africa, and work with businesses all over the country.
