SA Lightning Website Proposal
Domain: https://salightning.co.za/
Software: WordPress
Website Development
In this proposal, you’ll find specific details of how we can create a website that achieves your goals as per our discussions.
Our breakdown is based on all content (such as wording for the various sections) and beautiful high res images being supplied by yourself. Should you require a photographer for images (original images are always better than stock images) or a copywriter for content, this can be arranged at an additional fee.
We can alss assist you with our hosting services as we can manage your hosting + website. This is highly suggested, as if you choose to partner with us as your web developing team and we host the site, we are able to keep the site and plugins up-to-date. We also follow all government policies such as the recent POPIA ACT and the site’s terms of use would be updated accordingly. Should you encounter any email issues, you also contact us directly, and not a call centre. So everything web-related is kept in one neat little package, and you have one point of contact.
As per our previous discussions, we have the pleasure of detailing what we have researched and the options we propose below:

But this is budget dependent.
