No vendor blame game

One team owns the full stack

Faster turnaround

No waiting for third-party handoffs

Consistent voice

Your brand sounds the same everywhere

Transparent pricing

Fixed quotes, no surprise line items

03 — Common questions

Asked about
our services.

Straight answers about our formulary. Still unsure? Book a call — it takes 15 minutes and costs nothing.

How much does a website cost at MTJ Digital?

Build packages start from R2,499 for the Starter Site Special, from R5,499 for the Web Starter build, and from R12,499 for the Web Growth build. Monthly plans start from R899/mo. You get a fixed quote after a free discovery call — no hourly billing surprises.

How long does a project take?

Launch Lab ships in about two weeks. Growth Engine typically takes three to four weeks, and Market Leader five to six. You approve every stage, so timelines stay predictable.

Do I own my website when it's done?

Yes — 100%. Domain, content, design files and code are yours. If you host with us, leaving is never held hostage; we hand everything over.

Do you only work with businesses in Gauteng?

Our lab is based in Gauteng and most clients are in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, Centurion, Ekurhuleni and the West Rand — but we work with businesses anywhere in South Africa. Discovery calls happen online.

What do you need from me to start?

A 15-minute call and whatever you already have — a logo, photos, an old site, even a tender document. Our Project Blueprint form lets you upload briefs directly. We handle the rest.

you need? Ask the lab.
