What it costs
Most agencies hide their pricing. We publish ours. Every project is different, so these are ranges to budget against, not final quotes. The number we agree after scoping is fixed, and there is no VAT on top.

Before you ask
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We typically structure payments as 50% upfront and 50% on completion. For larger projects we can arrange milestone-based payments to spread the cost.
How accurate are these ranges?
They cover most projects in each category. Your requirements may fall above or below. We provide a detailed fixed-price quote once we understand the exact scope.
What about hosting and maintenance?
Hosting is separate, from R 200 a month for standard sites to R 1 500 a month for high-traffic stores, including SSL, backups and monitoring. Maintenance retainers start at R 2 000 a month.
Is there VAT on top?
No. Randcore is not VAT registered, so the prices you see are the prices you pay. No VAT line, no surprises.
