Website Design and SEO Packages That Bring You Customers, Not Just a Website
At MRN Labs, our website design and SEO packages pair a site you own with a monthly SEO retainer, at one bundled price from R12,500 that saves you R1,500 on the build. They are for Johannesburg businesses, from Sandton and Midrand to Pretoria, Randburg and Centurion, that want the website and the ranking work handled together from day one, not a site that just sits there. You pick a package, message us on WhatsApp, and we send a scope and timeline within 24 hours. Payment is EFT, on a 50% deposit, and all prices exclude VAT.
Website Design and SEO Package Prices
Here is what each package costs. These are real bundled prices, not starting figures that climb after a call. Each one covers the website build plus the first three months of SEO.
After the first three months, the SEO carries on as a standalone monthly retainer at the same rate, with a three-month minimum and no lock-in beyond that. Results typically start showing at month three to four. Any agency promising page-one rankings in 30 days is misleading you.
What Every Build Includes
Every package is built on the same foundation, whichever tier you pick.
- A mobile responsive design that works on every screen.
- A clean, search-ready build with proper page titles, headings and fast-loading pages.
- POPIA compliance setup.
- A contact form and a WhatsApp button.
- One round of revisions before launch.
- A site built so Google can find, crawl and index it from day one.
You own everything. A .co.za domain is R150 a year, a .com is R250 a year, hosting setup is a R500 once-off and hosting is R1,200 a year, or you host elsewhere if you prefer. See the build options on their own on our website design page.
What the SEO Retainer Does
The retainer is the part that actually moves you up the results. Here is what you get at each tier.
Want SEO on its own, without a new build? See our SEO services, or SEO in Johannesburg for the local detail.
Prefer the Website or the SEO on Its Own
You do not have to take a bundle. Here are the website builds on their own. The Store build runs on our ecommerce setup.
For online stores, see our ecommerce website design. To keep a site fast and secure after launch, see website maintenance, from R2,000 a month.
Why Johannesburg Businesses Choose MRN Labs
One team for the website and the SEO
You deal with the same people who built the site for the work that ranks it, so nothing falls between a designer and an SEO agency that have never spoken.
Our prices stay in the open
Every figure on this page is real and VAT exclusive. You will never sit through a sales call just to learn the cost.
We build to rank, not retrofit
Search foundations go in from day one, so the SEO builds on solid ground instead of fixing a site that fought Google from the start.
You own everything, with no lock-in
The site and files are yours from launch. Pause the SEO whenever you like after the first three months, and any developer can work on your site.
Our terms are fair
A 50% deposit confirms the work, you pay the balance once you are happy, and payment is EFT.

Website Design and SEO Packages: Common Questions
How much do your website design and SEO packages cost?
Packages start at R12,500 for a 5-page website with three months of Local SEO, which is a real R1,500 saving on the build. Growth is R18,500, Pro is R20,000, and the Store package is R19,000. All prices exclude VAT, and you confirm with a 50% deposit.
What is the difference between a package and buying the website and SEO separately?
The package bundles the build and the first three months of SEO at one price and discounts the build. The Starter package saves you R1,500 over paying for the 5-page site and three months of Local SEO on their own.
Do I own my website?
Yes. You own the site and its files from the day it launches. There is no lock-in. If you pause the SEO or move on, the site stays yours and any developer can work on it.
What happens after the three months of SEO?
The SEO carries on as a standalone monthly retainer at the same rate, and you can adjust or pause it. The minimum commitment is three months because that is how long real ranking work takes to show.
How long before the SEO brings results?
Expect real movement from month three to four, not the first week. Any agency promising page-one rankings in 30 days is misleading you.
Can I take just the website, or just the SEO?
Yes. Builds run from R2,500 for a one-page site to R8,500 for a six-page Pro site, and SEO retainers run from R2,500 a month. The package only makes sense when you want both, because that is where the saving is.
Why not just buy a R3,000 website?
A R3,000 site is a template filled in fast and pointed at Google to be indexed. Indexing is not ranking. If you want a page that simply exists, that is enough. If you want one that brings in work, you need a build made for your business and real SEO behind it, which is what these packages are.
Do you provide hosting and a domain?
Yes. A .co.za domain is R150 a year, a .com is R250 a year, hosting setup is a R500 once-off and hosting is R1,200 a year. You can host elsewhere if you prefer, and you own everything either way.
Do you only work with businesses in Johannesburg?
We work across Gauteng, including Pretoria, Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Centurion, Boksburg, Kempton Park and Vanderbijlpark. We run projects on WhatsApp and video call, so distance inside the province is never a problem.
How do I pay?
EFT only. A 50% deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due on completion. Every price is VAT exclusive.
