Questions
Can I move my WordPress blog to you?
Yes. We rebuild your blog on your own .co.za domain and keep the domain you already have. We quote first, so you know the price before we start.
Do blog posts count as pages?
No. Posts do not count toward your page total. A 3 page site stays a 3 page site however many posts you write.
Can I schedule posts for later?
Yes. Write a post now, pick a date and time, and it goes live by itself.
Who owns the domain?
You do. We register your .co.za in your name, and the first year is free.
How long does it take?
We send a first preview within 1 to 2 working days after we have everything we need, each round of changes takes within 1 working day, and the site is usually live within a week.
