CloudMonkey Build
Websites and ecommerce that are easy to launch.
Start with a once-off R599 website build covering up to 5 non-database pages including hosting, or choose a managed website package. Ecommerce options are available by agreed scope while the gateway economics are being finalised.
Featured options
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
5-page website — R599 once-off
R599 once-off
A static, non-database 5-page website with design, managed hosting, SSL, a Caesar chat link, basic analytics, and practical domain support. It gives your business a credible online home at a clear once-off price.
- Up to 5 pages organised around what customers need to know.
- Hosting, SSL, and a direct Caesar chat link for enquiries.

Ecommerce planning
Ecommerce launch — scope first
Request a scope
Ecommerce launches are currently handled as a scoped conversation while the shared gateway economics and transaction-fee model are being finalised. We will confirm the available package, payment flow, and third-party charges before any work begins.
- Catalogue, cart, checkout, and payment requirements reviewed first.
- Gateway and transaction-fee terms confirmed before approval.
- Hosting, SSL, and reporting scope agreed in the service order.
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.

How it works
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.
