Websites and ecommerce that are easy to launch.
Start with a free website period covering up to 5 pages including hosting, or a free ecommerce period with a shared gateway and a clearly stated 7% transaction fee per sale. We will help you understand the right starting point before work begins.
A straightforward way to get online
Begin with a focused website or ecommerce presence, understand exactly what is included, and add pages, features, integrations, or ongoing development only when they serve a real business need.
Website option
Free website design + hosting
R0 / month
A static 5-page website with design, managed hosting, SSL, a WhatsApp contact link, basic analytics, and practical domain support. It gives your business a credible online home without asking you to commit to a large project before you are ready.
- Up to 5 pages organised around what customers need to know.
- Hosting, SSL, and a WhatsApp click-to-chat link.
- Domain purchase, transfer, or pointing supported.
Ecommerce option
Free ecommerce + shared gateway
R0 / month
A hosted storefront with catalogue, cart, checkout, and a shared payment gateway. There is no monthly build fee during the free period; CloudMonkey charges a 7% transaction fee on each sale processed through the shared gateway.
- Shared gateway setup and payment capture, explained before launch.
- 7% transaction fee per sale through the shared gateway.
- Hosting, SSL, and transaction reporting included during the free period.
Managed upgrades
When your business needs more, CloudMonkey can expand the site into a Build package with additional pages, integrations, workflows, dashboards, and support. Your initial work remains the foundation, and the next decision is based on what you have learned.
What is included
Each option has a defined starting scope, so you can make a confident decision without guessing what is included. Additional work is agreed through the selected service order and approved add-ons.

From enquiry to launch
A clear process takes you from the first conversation to an approved live site. You see the scope, review the work, and know what happens next at every stage.
1. Start the chat
Tell Caesar what you want to launch, what matters most to your customers, and which website or ecommerce option best fits your business.
2. Capture the brief
CloudMonkey turns the conversation into a practical brief covering your business, pages, products, domain, and launch requirements.
3. Build and review
The site is prepared, checked, and shared back for review. You can ask questions and request agreed changes before anything is published.
4. Go live
Once approved, CloudMonkey connects the domain, provides access, and keeps support available in the dashboard.

Common questions
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. A domain can be purchased, transferred, or pointed to CloudMonkey depending on what is already in place.
Is the ecommerce fee monthly?
The free ecommerce period has no monthly build fee. CloudMonkey charges a 7% transaction fee per sale processed through the shared gateway, and any third-party charges still apply.
What if I need more than 5 pages?
CloudMonkey can extend the site into a paid Build plan when you need more pages, features, or ongoing development.
Can WhatsApp start the support flow?
Yes. The same WhatsApp entry point can connect you with Caesar for a guided brief, follow-up questions, or a support ticket.
