Insly Host designs websites for Marikana room rental owners, takeaways and caterers, hardware and building supply stores, and other community businesses. We work from Pretoria, so Marikana projects are run at a distance: the plan is agreed by phone, questions go back and forth on WhatsApp, and content is shared by email. Packages start at R2,999 for a Starter Website of up to 5 pages.

Everyday trade in a mining community
Marikana is a mining community on the road from Rustenburg to Brits, with shafts and processing plants on every side and settlements where mine workers and their families live. Beyond the mines and their contractors, the local economy is made up of the services those households need every day: rooms and flats to rent, takeaways and caterers, hardware and building supply stores, transport, phone and appliance repairs, salons and spaza shops. Many of these businesses are small and owner-run, and much of their custom comes from regulars and referrals.
For a small business in Marikana, a website is mostly about being easy to find and easy to contact. A room rental page needs photos, what is included, rules, monthly rental terms and a WhatsApp button. Takeaways and caterers need a menu, hours and an order or catering enquiry form. Hardware and building supply stores need product categories and delivery areas. We usually start these on a Starter Website, keep the pages light for people on prepaid data, and make sure a customer can reach you in one tap from any page.

Web design in Marikana: questions and answers
Can we advertise rooms to rent and mark them as taken?
Yes. We build a rooms page with photos, rent terms, what is included and the rules, and train you to mark each room as available or taken through the CMS. A WhatsApp button lets people ask questions immediately, and a short application form collects their details before you arrange a viewing.
We are a new business without a logo or photos yet. Can we still start?
Yes, but the site will only be as good as what goes into it, so we will tell you exactly what we need: a logo, a few clear photos of your work or premises taken on a decent phone, a list of services and your contact details. Once those are ready, we build a Starter Website around them, and you can add more later.
How much does a website cost in Marikana?
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 Marikana 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.
