Rate Card
RATE CARD AND PRICE LIST
Every Juicy Designs price in one place. Monthly retainers from R4,500, websites from R12,000, branding from R15,000. All figures exclude VAT. No form to fill in first.
Juicy Designs publishes its full rate card: monthly retainers run from R4,500 to R25,000, websites from R12,000 once-off, and branding from R15,000 once-off, all excluding VAT. Most South African agencies will not publish prices, which makes budgeting impossible before a sales call. We list ours because a business owner deciding whether to hire an agency deserves to know the number first. Monthly packages start at R6,000 for Starter, R15,000 for Growth and R25,000 for Premium, with individual services priced separately from R4,500 for email and SMS marketing and R5,500 for SEO or AI search optimisation. Once-off work starts at R12,000 for website design, R18,000 for development, R25,000 for ecommerce and R15,000 for a full brand identity. Everything is month-to-month with no lock-in, and advertising spend is billed at cost and never marked up.

How we price
Three things that make this rate card unusual
Published prices, no mark-up on media, and no lock-in.
We publish the numbers
Most South African agencies make you sit through a sales call before hearing a price. You should be able to work out whether we are in your range in thirty seconds.
No mark-up on media
Advertising spend goes to Google and Meta at cost. We charge a flat management fee, so our advice on your budget is not affected by what we earn from it.
Month-to-month, no lock-in
No twelve-month contracts. We keep your business by producing results you can see in the reporting rather than by holding you to a term.

Before you decide
Frequently asked questions
Got questions?
Straight answers about our pricing. No jargon, no runaround.
Do these prices include VAT?
No. Every figure on this rate card excludes VAT. Advertising and media spend paid to Google, Meta or TikTok is also separate and is billed at cost with no mark-up.
Are you locked into a contract?
No. All monthly retainers are month-to-month with no lock-in. We keep clients by producing results they can see in the reporting rather than by contract length.
Why do some services say 'scoped' rather than a price?
Because a genuine price depends on the brief. A logo for a single-location business and a full identity system for a franchise group are different pieces of work, and publishing a single number for both would be misleading.
Is advertising spend included in the monthly fee?
No. The retainer covers the work of managing your campaigns. Money paid to advertising platforms is separate, billed at cost, and never marked up by us.
Can packages be combined or customised?
Yes. Most clients run a combination rather than a standard package. Tell us your goals and budget and we will scope it against them.
How quickly can we start?
Usually within a week of scope being agreed. Discovery and strategy run in the first fortnight, with campaigns live from week two to four.
