South African Website Design Company

2024   iT-DOC      

Many people have the knowledge and software to build a website, but a website is more than just a couple of pages slapped together, it’s an extension of your business, an advertisement of your product, and should be well planned.

Planning a website is a collaborative effort, we have the experience and understanding of planning a website, but nobody knows your business like you do. You need to set the aim of the website, provide the content and make the necessary decisions. Let us help you choose the right site, that will suite your needs and pocket.

As a registered member of Unashamedly Ethical, iT-DOC prides itself on being an honest and ethical company. We are based in Amanzimtoti, just outside Durban, but our services extend nationwide.

Hosting

Our hosting packages are tailor made for every kind of business. We don’t believe in contracts, so you are not bound in any way.

From as little as R19 p/m, anyone can have a online presence. Our servers are located in Dallas (USA), and Cape Town (South Africa), and with a guaranteed 99,9% uptime, we strive to give our clients the fastest possible online access.

If you need your website to store and retrieve information then you'll need a database. Complete with SQL databases, our packages are perfect for sites such as directories, e-commerce websites and forums. All packages include php, mysql, webstats, Cpanel with your own site builder software, and unlimited mailboxes to name a few.

SEO

When we build a website, we do it properly, and that means that simple SEO is included at no extra cost. Additionally, we provide Google with an xml sitemap so that your pages are indexed quicker. Most companies that offer SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) are really only offering you what a good web designer should have done in the first place. Correct implementation of title tags, meta tags, H1 tags, alt attributes, webcrawl-friendly navigation etc are all simple SEO concepts, but evidence of good web design.

Directory Submissions

Many SEO companies will want to make this a monthly service so that you have to pay every month, but, if done correctly, it only needs to happen once, and repeatedly submitting your site to the same directories over and over will result in your site being banned from some of these.

This entails manually submitting copious amounts of forms to various International, local, and, where possible, industry-specific website directories for the sole purpose of letting them know your site exists and what it's about. The directories that choose to include your site in their listings provide you with two advantages. The first and foremost advantage is a valuable one-way link, which in the eyes of Google is seen as a vote of confidence. The second advantage is the potential of picking up customers directly from these directories.

CMS

A CMS (Content Management System) is special functionality that we add that will enable you to update your own site. It's expensive because it is custom developed for your needs, but will pay itself off if you do regular updates or if the site is very large.
