Questions.
How much does a WordPress developer in Johannesburg cost?
Our custom CMS builds start from R25,000 ex VAT. The price scales with page count and how complex your editing workflow is. Headless WordPress builds are priced on scope, because integrations and front-end requirements vary a lot. Either way, you get a final quote after a short scoping call, before any work starts.
Will we lose our Google rankings if we rebuild the site?
Not if the migration is planned properly. We map every URL, set redirects and QA the launch. On Edge Growth’s WordPress rebuild, our redirect plan kept page-one rankings across multiple keywords with zero ranking loss. We can’t promise Google’s behaviour, but we can remove the avoidable risks.
What is headless WordPress, and do we need it?
Headless means WordPress manages your content while a separate, faster front end displays it — useful when the same content feeds a website, an app or other platforms. Many businesses don’t need it. We built a headless CMS as part of Bidvest Bank’s platform programme; for a typical business site, a lean custom build is usually the better call.
How long does a WordPress build take?
It depends on page count, integrations and how quickly content and approvals come through. A focused business site moves much faster than a multi-system headless platform. We give you a realistic timeline with the quote after scoping, and we’ll flag anything that could stretch it before it does.
What do you need from us?
Access to your current site, analytics and Search Console, a clear view of who edits content and how, and a decision-maker available for sign-off at each stage. If you have brand guidelines or existing copy, we’ll use them; if not, we can help with UX, content and brand alongside the build.
Can you look after the site after launch?
Yes. Our Hosting & Care plans cover managed hosting, security, backups, uptime monitoring and updates, so the site stays fast and stable. You deal with a real person who knows your build, not a ticket queue. Plans start from R1 750 a month ex VAT, and you can cancel anytime.
