Website design Pretoria & CenturionHow long does your website keep a customer waiting?
We timed a real repair business's page on a phone: about 10 seconds before anything showed. Send us your website address and we will time yours, test it, and tell you what we found in plain words. Free.
MyEncore Websites designs fast, phone-first websites for businesses in Pretoria and Centurion, from R3,500. The check is answered within 1 working day, with no obligation and nothing to pay.
Real numbers, not guesses
A website check with real numbers.
One page of a real Pretoria repair business, tested the way Google tests: an ordinary phone on a slow connection.
How we measured: Google Lighthouse, phone setting, simulated slow 4G, 15 November 2026. The existing page was run once; our concept twice (3.6 s and 3.8 s, we show the slower). It is a concept we built to show what is possible, not a client's live site. Your numbers will be different, which is why we check.
Two screens from the concept we built, with the business name removed. If your check shows your site could be faster, we build a concept like this for you, free, before you decide anything.
What the free check covers
Four questions.
Straight answers.
Whoever your web designer in Pretoria is, these are the four things that decide whether your site brings in calls.
Is it fast on a phone?
We time how long a customer on mobile data waits before they see anything, and before they can tap.
Does your form work?
We look at how your enquiry form is built and what it depends on. One form we looked at relied on an add-on that was withdrawn in 2017. We never send test messages through your form without asking you.
Can they reach you in one tap?
On a phone, your number should dial and your WhatsApp should open with one tap, from every page. We check each one.
Will Google find you?
Page titles, the padlock (https), broken links, and whether your suburb and services are written where Google reads them.

Questions business owners ask
Website design in Pretoria: your questions.
What does a website cost in Pretoria or Centurion?
MyEncore Websites builds a one-page Starter website for R3,500, a Business website of up to 5 pages for R7,500 and an online Shop for R14,900. Each has a monthly care plan: R250, R450 or R750 a month. No VAT is added. You pay a 50% deposit when you accept the concept and 50% before the site goes live.
How long does it take to build a website?
A Starter site takes about 3 days, a Business site about 7 days and a Shop about 14 days, counted from when we have your wording and photos. The free website check itself is answered within 1 working day.
Do I own my website and my domain?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name, at cost (about R110 to R200 a year). The care plan runs month to month with 30 days' notice, and if you leave you may take your site files with you. An online Shop runs in your own Shopify account.
Can I edit the website myself?
Not directly. Our sites are static, so there is no login and nothing to update or break. You send a change by WhatsApp or email and we make it. The care plan includes 1 small change a month on Starter, 3 on Business and 4 on Shop. Extra small changes cost R350 each. In a Shop you can also manage products yourself in your own Shopify account.
What is the monthly fee for?
The monthly care plan covers hosting, the padlock (SSL), backups, an uptime check and your small changes for the month. We reply within 2 working days on Starter and by the next working day on Business and Shop.
Will my Google ranking drop if I switch to a new website?
It should not if the move is done properly, and that work is part of the build. You keep your domain, we move your existing blog posts, and we redirect every old page address to its new page, so old links and Google results keep working. Nobody can honestly guarantee a ranking.
Is WordPress or a static website better for a small business?
For most service businesses a static site is faster and has less to go wrong. The WordPress page we measured downloaded 83 files (3.5 MB) and took 10.0 seconds to show anything on a phone on slow 4G. Our static concept of the same page downloaded 8 files (157 KB) and showed in 3.8 seconds. The trade-off: a static site has no login, so we make your changes for you. If you want to publish articles yourself every week, WordPress may suit you better.
Do you build websites in Afrikaans?
Yes. We are in Pretoria and work in Afrikaans and English. Your site can be in either language. A site in both languages is possible and is quoted separately.
What is in the free website check, and is it really free?
Yes, it is free and there is no obligation. Within 1 working day we tell you in plain words how fast your site loads on a phone, whether your enquiry form is likely to work, whether customers can call or WhatsApp you in one tap, and whether Google can find you. We only look at what any visitor can see and we change nothing.
Which areas do you work in?
Pretoria and Centurion first, and the rest of Gauteng. Everything is done by WhatsApp, email and phone, so we do not need to meet in person.
Free, within 1 working day
