Who Custom Websites are for
The right fit needs more than a template
We qualify for complexity and operational need, not for decorative extras.
Custom is the right fit

Frequently asked questions
Before you brief us
How much does a custom website cost?
Custom work is quoted, not priced from a list — a booking system, a member portal and an integrated commerce platform are different pieces of work. We scope your requirements first and give you a proposal with a clear figure, so you are comparing a real number rather than a range that would not apply to you.
Do you build e-commerce with local payment methods?
Yes. We build catalogues, carts and checkout journeys around locally relevant payment options, including EcoCash, OMari, InnBucks and ZIPIT. Which integrations apply to your project is confirmed during scoping, since availability depends on the provider and your merchant arrangements.
Who maintains the site after launch?
We do. Every custom build includes a managed care arrangement — updates, security, backups and monitoring — scoped in the proposal. An unmaintained custom site becomes a liability, so this is part of the project rather than an afterthought. See Managed Websites for what ongoing care covers.
Do I get a ZIMRA fiscal invoice?
Yes. You are billed locally by Webdev in USD or ZiG and receive a compliant ZIMRA fiscal invoice.
