Add-ons and Additional Charges
Ongoing Maintenance Retainer: For clients who don't want to manage the system themselves, we can offer a monthly retainer (e.g., R 750 - R 2,000 p/m) to manage staff changes, add new services, and provide ongoing support.
Large-Scale Data Input: If you have more services or staff than your top package allows, charge an hourly rate (e.g., R 400 - R 600 per hour) for the additional data entry.
Third-Party Software Integration (via Zapier): If you want to connect their bookings to external software not natively supported by Hostinger (e.g., a specific CRM or accounting software), this requires a custom setup and will be quoted separately (R 1,000 - R 3,000+ depending on complexity).
Professional Copywriting: If we are writing compelling service descriptions and crafting marketing-focused email templates, this is an additional service that will be charged for.
You can add a Bookings System to your Website. Depending on what you want, we are able to help you integrate it with your website, staff and schedule. We can also connect an email and CRM, as well as give you the ability to manage it yourself. Training comes hand in had with the system.
