Frequently asked
WordPress Development in Hermanus — answers.
Common questions about pricing, timelines, what's included, and how we work with Hermanus businesses.
Why WordPress and not Wix/Shopify in Hermanus?
WordPress gives you ownership of your site and code — you can host it anywhere, edit anything, and aren't locked into a platform that doubles its fees each year. For most Hermanus businesses it's a smarter long-term bet than Wix or Squarespace.
Will my WordPress site be slow in Hermanus?
Not when we build it. Every Havealot WordPress build uses LiteSpeed caching, CDN delivery, optimised images, and a lean plugin stack to hit 90+ PageSpeed scores even on a 3G connection in Hermanus.
Can you migrate my existing site to WordPress?
Yes. We frequently migrate Hermanus businesses from Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and other agencies. Migration includes content transfer, SEO redirects, and zero downtime.
Do you offer WordPress maintenance after launch?
Yes. WP Care retainers start at R1,500/month and include updates, security patches, malware scans, daily backups and 2 hours of content edits.
Is WordPress secure for South African businesses?
When properly configured, yes. We harden every install with WAF, brute-force protection, automated backups, malware scanning, and weekly security audits.
