Starting Your Business on a Budget

Starting your own business can be daunting, we get it! From the admin tasks of registering your company to figuring out how you’re going to fund things, it can be quite a head-scratcher. However, the process of setting up your website, managing your customers or clients, and growing your business doesn’t need to be a tricky or expensive process, thanks to platforms like Digitise.

Getting your website up and running

We’ve seen lots of DIY website builders online, but they’re often not intuitive and leave you high and dry once the basics are complete. Not to mention that they just don’t look great. South Africa’s very-own Digitise features easily the best online website builder available. Once you’ve got your domain name and URL set-up (which you can do all on the Digitise platform), you can start building your website immediately. Adding widgets, banners, social media integration, or any other custom elements is incredibly easy thanks to a fly-out menu and drag-and-drop system that all works in real-time. No waiting or long load-times – you can check out your site as you work on it.

For those who want a shop-front and e-commerce capabilities, those can also be added with ease, as well as having Digitise taking care of the hosting requirements so that you don’t have to break a sweat.

Building your customer base

Digitise has a built-in CRM system, which allows you to manage your users’ email addresses, mobile numbers, or any other information provided by your customers; while also creating custom lists which curate your audience into different segments based on their answers or form inputs.

Marketing your brand

Digitise also has a built-in SMS marketing system, where you can build your own client or user base and create customised SMS campaigns to directly target your audience – whether it be highlighting a sale, new product launch, or just letting people know about your business.

How much does it cost?

The team behind Digitise is aware that start-ups need flexibility, so when it comes to costs, there are no contracts or long-term commitments; and there are flexible pricing packages so that you can find the best option for you and your business.

The benefit of using the Digitise platform is that from the front-end of the webpage to the CRM and marketing tools in the background, your entire online toolbox is with the same provider, making the transition in the digital space a hassle-free one rather than a painstaking process of vendor selection and hunting down the right service providers.
