The problem

Good businesses often look weaker online than they are in real life.

01

Old website

The business is trusted offline, but the website makes it feel behind.

02

Technical risk

Hosting, plugins, backups, and updates become invisible stress.

03

Quiet presence

Socials and website updates go stale because nobody owns the rhythm.

04

Every edit is a chase

Small changes turn into delays, quotes, or another loose email thread.

What we handle

Your online presence, handled properly.

Website setup

A clean 3-page WordPress foundation built mobile-first around trust, services, and contact flow.

Hosting + maintenance

Hosting support, uptime checks, plugin/theme checks, backups, and security updates so the site stays alive and reliable.

Monthly updates

Small content edits, image swaps, testimonials, business hours, broken forms, and practical technical support within scope.

Optional social presence

Branded graphics, scheduled posts, and a consistent social rhythm. Available as an add-on once the website foundation is live.

Everything that keeps your site alive, secure, and current — without you lifting a finger.

Monthly care

What your R2,000/month actually covers.

The monthly care plan is there to keep the site current, stable, and trustworthy after launch. It covers the practical upkeep most small businesses do not want to chase every month.

01

Hosting + technical upkeep

Hosting support, uptime awareness, WordPress health checks, and the technical basics that keep the site available.

02

Updates + security checks

WordPress, plugin, and theme updates, plus basic security checks so small issues are caught before they become bigger problems.

03

Backups + recovery support

Backup checks and practical recovery support if something breaks or needs to be restored.

04

Forms + small edits

Contact form checks, small content edits, basic support, and keeping important business details current.

Comparison

Cheap monthly website vs Artus foundation.

Cheap / template / DIY
Artus foundation
Generic layout that can make the business feel interchangeable.
Founder-built website foundation shaped around trust and enquiry flow.
Low-touch setup with little monthly ownership after launch.
Cleaner, more credible presence for a real small business.
Updates, plugins, backups, and forms still become your problem.
Maintained monthly with updates, checks, backups, and support included.
Support is unclear when something breaks or needs changing.
Practical infrastructure, not just a page that gets handed over and forgotten.
Founder-built website examples

Three founder-built website examples.

Before Artus, Sabian built and worked on websites across different industries. These founder-built website examples show the standard behind the Artus foundation: clean structure, trustworthy presentation, and practical business websites. They are examples of founder-built work, not Artus client case studies.

Process

Three steps, clear scope.

1. Apply

Send the business details, current links, and what feels messy or outdated.

2. Build and launch

We structure, build, review, and launch the WordPress foundation with the right contact path.

3. Maintain monthly

After launch, care starts: hosting issues, plugin updates, backups, security checks, broken forms, and small edits stay handled.

Digital infrastructure partner

A calmer way to stop chasing freelancers and keep your website, updates, and online presence handled properly.

Who this is for / not for

A practical fit check before you apply.

This is for you if:

  • You run a service-based business, trade, professional practice, health business, or local retail business.
  • You need a clean, working website foundation, not a complex platform.
  • You want the technical side handled monthly.
  • You value clear scope, support, and fixed pricing.

This is not for you if:

  • You need ecommerce, booking systems, or a custom web app at launch.
  • You want full-service ad campaigns, advanced SEO, or lead-gen funnels.
  • You need unlimited edits or same-day turnaround on large changes.
  • You are only looking for the cheapest template option.
