Web Design & Development FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
We’ve answered some of the most common questions we get from clients. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to talk things through.
How do I know what type of website my business needs?
We’ll start with a short call to understand your goals, audience, and what you want your website to achieve. Once we know that, we’ll recommend the best setup for your needs, whether that’s a business site, eCommerce store, or something more custom.
How do you plan a web design project?
Every project follows a clear structure. We start with discovery and strategy, move into wireframes and design, then develop and test before launch. You’ll know exactly where we are at each stage.
Can you help me with content and images?
Yes. If you don’t have content ready, we can write it for you or edit what you have. We can also source quality images or help with brand photography.
What if I don’t have a domain or hosting yet?
That’s not a problem. We can help you register a domain and set up reliable hosting. We also offer managed hosting through Rocket.net for clients who prefer a hands-off approach.
How much input will I need to give during the project?
You’ll be involved during reviews and feedback stages. We handle the technical work, but we make sure your input shapes the final product.
What platform do you use for websites?
Most of our sites are built with WordPress and Elementor because they’re fast, flexible, and easy to maintain. For eCommerce, we use WooCommerce or Shopify depending on your goals. For very custom sites, we'll use Webflow.
Can I update the website myself once it’s live?
Yes, and we’ll show you how. You’ll get access to edit content, images, and even add new pages if you like.
Will my website be unique?
Absolutely. Every design is tailored to your brand. We never recycle generic templates. Your site will feel like it was built just for you, because it was.
Do I need to pay for plugins?
If your website is hosted or maintained by Centric Media, you don’t need to worry about plugin licenses. We include all premium plugin costs as part of our hosting and maintenance packages. If you host your site elsewhere, we can advise which paid plugins are essential and how to manage the renewals yourself.
What premium plugins do I get access to?
When you’re on our performance hosting or maintenance package, you get access to a full suite of premium tools that we use across all our high-performing builds. These include:
- Elementor Pro (for advanced design flexibility)
- WP Rocket (for caching and performance optimisation)
- RankMath Pro (for advanced SEO setup)
- Crocoblock Suite (for dynamic content and JetPlugins)
- Brevo (for full-proof and reliable email delivery)
- ShortPixel Pro (for image optimisation)
How do you make sure the website is SEO-friendly?
We follow SEO best practices during the build. That includes clean code, keyword-optimised headings, proper metadata, and fast load times. We also set up RankMath Pro and connect your site to Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
What’s the difference between web design and web development?
Design focuses on how your website looks and feels. Development is about how it functions behind the scenes. We handle both so the finished product works seamlessly from design to performance.
How do you make websites load faster?
We use tools like WP Rocket and Cloudflare CDN to improve performance. Images are compressed, code is minified, and caching is applied to speed up load times.
How do you keep websites secure?
Every Centric website is hosted on Rocket.net, which includes Cloudflare Enterprise security, malware scanning, and automatic backups as part of the platform. This protects your site from DDoS attacks, bots, and other threats before they ever reach your server.
We also handle plugin and software updates, SSL certificates, and daily backups as part of your maintenance plan. Our team monitors uptime and performance, checks for vulnerabilities, and restores your site immediately if anything goes wrong.
In short, your website stays fast, secure, and fully protected without you ever needing to worry about it.
Will my website work on all devices?
Yes. Every site we build is fully responsive. We test across different screen sizes and browsers to make sure everything looks and performs correctly.
Do you use plugins, and are they safe?
We only use trusted, premium plugins that are updated regularly and known for stability. You’ll never have to worry about unsafe or bloated add-ons.
What happens if something breaks after launch?
We include 30 days of post-launch support to fix bugs or small issues. Our maintenance plans cover long-term updates and ongoing technical support.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the size and complexity of the site. A standard business website starts around ZAR 25,000, while large eCommerce builds can go beyond ZAR 120,000. You’ll always get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites take between five and ten weeks to complete. Larger projects or those requiring extra integrations may take longer.
What’s included in your maintenance plans?
Maintenance covers software updates, backups, uptime monitoring, performance checks, and security protection. It keeps your site healthy and stable.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We can split payments into milestones, usually starting with a deposit, one payment mid-project, and a final balance once the site is complete.
Can I request updates after the site goes live?
Yes, anytime. You can request new features, design changes, or content updates. If you’re on a maintenance plan, many smaller changes are included.
Do you offer SEO services?
Yes. We provide on-page SEO, keyword research, and ongoing optimisation as part of our SEO retainers. Every website we build includes strong SEO foundations. Click here for more details on our Search Engine Optimisation services.
What hosting do you recommend?
We host all our client websites on Rocket.net, one of the fastest and most secure WordPress hosting platforms available. It’s fully managed, meaning you never have to deal with technical setup, server issues, or renewals.
When you host with Centric Media, you also get access to our full Performance Package, which includes a bundle of premium plugins and services at no extra cost. This covers:
- Elementor Pro (for advanced design flexibility)
- WP Rocket (for caching and performance optimisation)
- RankMath Pro (for advanced SEO setup)
- Crocoblock Suite (for dynamic content and JetPlugins)
- Brevo (for full-proof and reliable email delivery)
- ShortPixel Pro (for image optimisation)
All plugin licenses, renewals, and updates are handled by our team as part of your hosting or maintenance plan. This means you don’t need to buy or manage these tools yourself, and your site always runs on the latest, fully licensed versions.
Our hosting is designed specifically for performance, reliability, and security, giving you everything your site needs to load fast, stay online, and perform well in search.
How do I track website performance after launch?
We connect your website to Google Analytics 4 and Search Console. You can also view live metrics in a Looker Studio dashboard that we set up for you.
How can I improve my search rankings over time?
Regular SEO updates, new content, and link building make the biggest difference. We offer ongoing SEO management to help you grow visibility month by month. Click here for more details on our Search Engine Optimisation services.
Can you design my logo or help with branding?
Yes. Our design team can create a logo, refine your color palette, or develop a full brand identity that works across print and digital. Click here for more details on our Graphic Design services.
Do you build design systems or style guides?
We do. Every web design project includes a visual style system that outlines your fonts, colours, and spacing. It makes future design updates consistent and easy.
Can you redesign my existing website without starting over?
Yes. We can work with your existing site, improve its layout, and refresh the visuals while keeping your core content and SEO intact.
How do you make sure the site matches my brand?
We review your brand materials before we start designing. You’ll see previews and can share feedback during design rounds so the look aligns perfectly with your identity.
Can you add animations or interactive effects?
Yes. We can add subtle animations, transitions, and scroll effects that enhance engagement without slowing down the site. This is usually done with GSAP animation library, which can be added to any website framework.
What happens after the website goes live?
We’ll monitor your site during the first month to ensure everything runs smoothly. You’ll also receive training and full access to manage your content.
Can I get ongoing support?
Yes. We offer monthly maintenance and support packages that include updates, backups, and content changes when needed.
Do you provide website management training?
Yes. We can train you or your team on how to use WordPress and Elementor so you can make changes confidently.
Can you help promote my website after launch?
Our digital marketing team can set up SEO, Google Ads, or social campaigns to help you attract traffic and leads once your new site is live.
What if something goes wrong with my hosting?
If you’re hosted with us, we’ll take care of it right away. If you use your own host, we’ll help you contact their support or troubleshoot the issue directly.
Do you only work with Cape Town clients?
No. We work with clients all over South Africa and internationally. Our process is built for remote collaboration, so location isn’t a barrier.
Have you worked with businesses in my industry?
Most likely. We’ve built sites for eCommerce, hospitality, medical, education, and corporate sectors. If you tell us your niche, we can show you examples.

Yes. We can set up multiple language versions using tools like WPML or TranslatePress so you can reach international audiences.
