Selling Beyond the Shafts: Websites for Welkom
Welkom was planned from scratch to serve the Free State goldfields, which explains its wide roads, traffic circles and neat suburbs. Gold mining built the town and still employs people here, but several shafts have closed, and the businesses that once sold only to the mines now look for work on farms, in other mining regions and in Gauteng. Thabong is the main township and has its own busy trade, while Riebeeckstad is mostly suburban and Allanridge sits to the north. Buyers outside the district rarely know these firms, so they judge them on what they find online.
A Welkom engineering or mine supply firm needs a site that a procurement officer can check quickly. We would build a services page for each line of work, such as fabrication, conveyor maintenance or PPE supply, with photos of the workshop and finished jobs, a page for safety and B-BBEE documents, and a company profile in PDF that can be downloaded and attached to a tender. Car dealers and workshops need stock or service pages and a call button, and training centres need course dates they can edit in the CMS.

What Welkom businesses need from a website
Engineering and Mine Supply
Fabrication shops, electrical contractors and PPE suppliers need a page per service, workshop photos, accreditation details and a downloadable company profile for tenders.
Motor Dealers and Workshops
Dealerships, used car lots and service centres need stock listings they can update, service booking requests and a click-to-call button for drivers in the Goldfields.
Skills and Safety Training
Training centres that prepare people for mining and industrial work need course pages, accreditation details, intake dates and an online application enquiry.

Web design in Welkom: questions and answers
Our work with the mines has slowed. Can a website help a Welkom firm find other clients?
It can make you easier to find and easier to trust for clients who do not know you. We would write service pages around the work you can do for farms, municipalities and other industries, not only mines, and include photos and a company profile. Pairing that with ongoing local SEO, which we offer separately, gives searches from outside Welkom a better chance of reaching you.
Can we show B-BBEE and safety certificates on our Welkom company website?
Yes. We can build a compliance page that lists your accreditations and lets visitors download the documents you choose to share, such as a B-BBEE certificate or a safety file summary. You can replace them in the CMS when they are renewed, so a buyer checking you before a tender always sees current paperwork.
How much does a website cost in Welkom?
Insly Host uses the same fixed package prices everywhere in South Africa: Starter Website R2,999 (up to 5 pages), Business Website R5,999 (up to 10 pages), E-commerce Website R12,999 (up to 50 products) and Enterprise Website R24,999 (unlimited pages). You pay a 50% or 60% deposit online to start and the balance before the site goes live. Larger custom projects are quoted on request.
How long does it take to build a website for a Welkom business?
It depends on the package: Starter Website 7–10 days, Business Website 10–14 days, E-commerce Website 14–21 days and Enterprise Website 21–30 days. Larger builds, or sites waiting on content, take longer. We confirm the timeline with you before work starts.
Do I also need hosting, a domain and email?
Yes, every website needs hosting and a domain, and most businesses want email on that domain too. Insly Host sells web hosting from R39/month, .co.za and other domains, and business email, billed separately from the design package so you only pay for what you use. If you already have hosting elsewhere, we can build the site for that instead.
