A website, a booking system, a quote builder, or something to replace the spreadsheet. You get a free mock-up or plan and a fixed price before any work starts, and I look after it afterwards.
- Fixed quote before I start
- You own it once it’s paid for
- No calls, voice notes welcome
Two things I build
Start with one, and add the other later if you need it.

Quote builders, booking systems, trackers and portals, built around the way you already work.

How it works
Four steps from first message to go-live. Mock-ups and plans usually reach you within 3 working days.
Step 1
Tell me what you need
Send a WhatsApp, an email or a voice note. Tell me what’s slowing you down, or what you’d like your customers to be able to do.
Step 2
Get a free mock-up or plan and a fixed quote
For a website, I build a sample from your public info. For a tool, I write a short plan of what it will do. Either way you get a fixed price, with no obligation.
Step 3
Pay a 50% deposit, then I build it
I show you as I go. Ask for changes until it’s right.
Step 4
It goes live
Pay the balance and it goes live. It’s yours. Add a care plan if you’d like me to look after it.
Clear starting prices
Starting prices, so you know roughly what to expect.
Built for your kind of business
Any South African business can use a website or a tool: trades, shops, farms, transport companies, professional services and more. Here are ideas for three industries.
Guesthouses & B&Bs
Direct bookings, live availability and a digital guest info book.
Salons & beauty
Price lists, online booking and client records in one place.
Restaurants & cafes
Menus, a live open/closed sign, online ordering and staff rosters.
Any other business
Tell me how your business works and what you’d like to fix. I’ll suggest what would help most.
Who you’ll be dealing with
Hi, I’m John, the person behind Front Door Sites. I build and look after every website and tool myself, so you deal with me directly, on WhatsApp or email. I’m based in KwaZulu-Natal. Because everything happens on WhatsApp and email, I can work with businesses anywhere in South Africa.
Common questions
How much will it cost?
Websites from R3 500 and business tools from R5 000. Tell me what you need and I’ll send a fixed quote. The price only changes if you ask for something new, and I quote that first.
What’s the free mock-up?
A sample of your website, built from your public info, like your Google Maps listing or Facebook page. It’s free and there’s no obligation.
Do I own it?
Yes. Once it’s paid in full, the website or tool is yours, and your domain is registered in your name.
Do I need to get on a call?
No. Everything happens on WhatsApp and email. Voice notes are welcome.
Tell me what you need
A few lines is enough. I’ll reply with ideas, a free mock-up or plan, and a fixed quote.
- A free mock-up (websites) or plan (tools)
- A fixed quote before I start
- You own it once it’s paid for
I reply within 24 hours
