Not sure which?

The A-grade standard.

Every site Lockhart hands over is built to score an A on the Lockhart Website Check, and is tested on it before launch. It is the same free check you can run on your current site today.

A contact form and WhatsApp button that reach you, tested before launch.

Website work, and what the clients say.

Sunbird Solar, live at sunbirdsolar.co.za, and Lumasol, shown in the design preview.

The Lumasol website home page in the design preview: the headline over a drawing of a flush-mount kit, and the roof selector The Lumasol home page on a phone

Lumasol

A 49-page website for a PV mounting structure maker, where an installer picks the roof and gets the right kit. Shown in the design preview.

“Luke had a working draft of our new website ready before we’d even discussed it. It’s clear, quick on a phone and written for the installers and EPCs we actually sell to.”

Paul Soper Director, Lumasol

Sunbird Solar

A brand refresh and a full rebuild for a commercial and industrial solar company, with an ROI calculator that estimates a client’s savings in five steps.

“Luke rebuilt our website and the systems we now use to run the business, from the board dashboard to procurement. He’s run companies himself, so everything he builds fits the way we actually work.”

Jordan Mitchell Commercial Director, Sunbird Solar

From briefing call to live site.

Website goes live in 3 weeks, Website + Brand in 5 and Signature in 6 to 7. Brand work runs before the build, so the site launches in its new identity.

  1. Briefing call

    What the business does, who buys from it and what the site must make them do. The timeline starts here, with the first half paid.

  2. Copy and design

    Every page written and designed. You see the words and the look before anything is built.

  3. Build

    Mobile first, fast, set up for Google, with analytics, the contact form and the WhatsApp button.

  4. Your changes

    One round of changes per page, made before launch.

  5. Live

    The site goes live on your domain, with a training video so you know your way around. The second half is due.

Website questions

Question not here? WhatsApp Luke and he’ll answer it himself.

What does the 100-score speed target mean?

The site is built to score 100 for performance in Google’s PageSpeed test on a phone. It is a target, not a guarantee: tools you add later, such as chat widgets or tracking scripts, can slow a site down.

How many rounds of changes do I get?

One round of changes per page, before the site goes live. After launch, the Care plans include monthly hours for changes.

Can you build an online shop?

Not in these packages. E-commerce stores are quoted separately on request.

What if I need more pages?

Website covers up to 6 pages and Website + Brand and Signature up to 10. Pages beyond that, and copy beyond the stated pages, are quoted separately before any work starts.

Who owns the website?

You do, once it is paid in full: the code, the design files and the content. Your domain and email stay in your name and you pay for them directly. Lockhart hosts the site for you on a Care plan, or hands everything over to you or your next developer, with a training video.

Do I have to take a Care plan?

No. Care is month to month with 30 days’ notice. Without it, changes after launch cost R1,250 (US$80) an hour, agreed in writing first.

How do I pay?

Half when the work starts, after the scope is agreed in writing, and half when the site goes live.

How long does it take?

Website goes live in 3 weeks, Website + Brand in 5 and Signature in 6 to 7, counted from the briefing call.

Do you work outside South Africa?

Yes, across Southern Africa. Dollar prices are for clients who pay in dollars, set as round numbers and reviewed every January.

Tell Luke which package you’re weighing up.

He’ll reply himself, answer what the page doesn’t, and book the briefing call.
