Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Pivot2Connect different from other digital agencies?
We specialise in established business owners over 50 who want results without technical confusion.
We won the Best of Pretoria Readers' Choice Awards 2025 because we deliver what we promise: websites that work, support that shows up, and clear communication.
Plus, with 35+ years of business experience, we understand your challenges.
I’m not tech-savvy. Will I be able to understand what you’re doing?
Yes.
We explain everything in straightforward business terms.
You will never wonder what we're working on or why something matters.
If we can't explain it, we don't do it.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most business websites: 2-4 weeks from approved content to launch.
We will give you a realistic timeline in our first conversation, not an optimistic guess.
What if my current website isn't getting results?
We'll audit it honestly.
Sometimes we can improve what exists. Sometimes a rebuild makes more sense. We will tell you which and why, with no pressure to choose the expensive option.
Will I be locked into a long-term contract?
No.
Monthly retainers can be cancelled with 30 days' notice.
We earn your business every month by delivering value, not trapping you with contracts.
If we're not helping you succeed, you shouldn't be paying us.
How quickly will I see results from local SEO?
Most clients see improved local search visibility within 2-3 months.
Some improvements (like Google Business Profile optimisation) work faster.
SEO is a long-term investment that compounds over time, not an overnight fix.
Do you work outside Pretoria?
Yes, but we specialise in Gauteng businesses because local SEO works best when we understand the local market. We have worked with clients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Centurion, and the surrounding areas.
What are your payment terms?
For once-off website builds:
A 50% deposit is required before we begin work. The remaining 50% is due upon completion before your site goes live. This is standard in the web design industry and ensures we're both committed to the project.
For monthly retainer websites:
The first month is paid upfront before we begin your build. Ongoing monthly payments are then due on the 1st of each month in advance. This ensures uninterrupted service and keeps your project prioritized.
Why do you require payment upfront?
We cover hosting costs, development resources, and design work from day one. Requiring deposits protects both of us: you get a committed team focused on your project, and we can deliver quality work without financial uncertainty. Every reputable web design agency works this way.
Can I see the work before final payment?
Yes. For once-off builds, we develop your site on a secure staging server where you can review everything before final payment. Once you approve the completed work and submit the final payment, we push your site live immediately.
What payment methods do you accept?
EFT (bank transfer) is our standard method. Payment details are provided with your invoice.
