Chris Langeveldt
Founder, Christoffel
Here's the short version: after a 30-minute call about your business, we build a working preview of your new website within 5 days, at no cost. You click through it on your own phone. Only if you like it do we quote and finish the build. If you don't, you walk away owing nothing.
What exactly is the 5-day preview?
It's a real, clickable website, not a PDF mock-up or a mood board. We design your homepage and key sections with your logo, your colours, your services and your words, and put it on a private preview link. You open it on your phone like any other website.
How does it work, step by step?
Day 0: a 30-minute call. We ask what you do, who your customers are, how they find you and what the website must achieve: calls, WhatsApps, bookings or quote requests.
Days 1 to 4: we build. Our designers and developers build the preview in Framer, the same platform we use for the final site, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Day 5: you get the link. Click through it, show it to your business partner, and send us feedback on WhatsApp.
Your decision. Like it? We send a fixed quote and finish the build in 2 to 6 weeks. Don't? That's the end of it. No invoice.
What does the preview cost?
Nothing. There's no deposit and no obligation. Our websites are a once-off build fee plus a monthly plan: Starter R5,000 + R1,200/month, Growth R10,000 + R2,500/month or Premium R20,000 + R3,500/month, excluding VAT, and you only pay once you've seen your preview and decided to go ahead.
Why do we give away 5 days of work?
Because buying a website blind is a bad deal for you. Many South African business owners have been burned before: a deposit paid, a designer who went quiet, and a site that looked nothing like what was promised. Showing you the work first removes that risk. It also keeps us honest. If the preview isn't good enough to win your business, we don't deserve it.
What's included in the preview, and what isn't?
Included: a designed homepage, your branding, real copy based on our call, mobile and desktop layouts, and a private preview link.
Not yet included: every inner page, your final photos, SEO setup, contact forms connected to your inbox, and your domain. Those come in the full build.
Does it work if I'm not in Kimberley?
Yes. We're based in Kimberley in the Northern Cape, but the preview process runs completely online. It works the same for a plumber in Pretoria, a guesthouse in the Karoo or an architect in Cape Town. See how we work with businesses across South Africa.
How do I get my free preview?
