Your page is built from blocks — a WhatsApp button, your hours, a map, your prices, your licence number. You tap the one you want and it lands on the page already looking right, on a phone and on a laptop. There is nothing to lay out and nothing to style.
Building is free. You pay when you want a link to hand out.
What a page has to answer
Somebody you have never met has just opened your link in a WhatsApp thread. Every block on this page exists to answer one of these before they close it again.
Your trading name and registered details, so a stranger can tell whether they are dealing with a real business.
In your own words, in the first screen, before anybody has to scroll or guess.
A price in rands with the no-VAT line under it, so the number they read is the number they pay.
The two questions you answer most often by hand, answered once on a page instead.
A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you, on the phone they are already holding.
Built for how South African businesses actually sell
There are more than eighty blocks in the editor for headings, photos, galleries and layout. These six are the ones written specifically for this market — and they are the reason the page is worth sending.
Opens a chat with you, with a first message already written if you want one. Your number is validated as you enter it — a wrong format turns the button red instead of quietly becoming a link to nobody.
Someone who was sent your link is already inside a messaging app. This puts them back into one, in a conversation with you, in a single tap — instead of copying a number and hoping they typed it correctly.
The same blocks, arranged differently
Nobody is handed a finished page to fill in. You pick the blocks that match what your customers ask you about, and leave out the ones that do not apply.
The screen it will actually be opened on
Almost everyone who opens your link is holding a phone, often on prepaid data and often on one bar of signal. Every block is built to rearrange itself for a narrow screen, so you never have to think about it — and you can switch between phone, tablet and desktop while you work to check what each one looks like.
The published page is plain HTML with no scripts and no framework behind it. That is why it opens almost instantly on an old handset, where a normal website sits there loading until the person gives up.
The screen almost every visitor is on. Blocks stack into one readable column.
Wider layouts open up automatically as there is room for them.
For the client reviewing you at their desk, or the buyer on a work computer.
Your side of the relationship
This is the part you never get to watch, and it is the part that decides whether they contact you.
Pasted into a chat, your link unfurls with your name, a picture and a line of description. Most people decide whether to open it from that card alone — so it is part of the page, not an afterthought.
No scripts, no framework, no waiting. On a slow connection this is the difference between a visitor and someone who backed out while it loaded.
Your name, what you do, and your registered details if you have added them. This is the moment a careful buyer decides whether to keep reading.
A price, an address, an opening time, a registration number. Whatever they were sent to check, it is on the page rather than behind a message to you.
One tap into WhatsApp, or a card payment at an amount you set. Either way they act while they still want to, instead of adding it to a list of things to do later.
Your link keeps pointing at you. Rename your page and the old link still works, and your name is never handed to anybody else — so a link you sent last year still finds you.
They did not find you by searching, because published pages are deliberately kept out of Google. Somebody sent them, or they scanned your code. That is what this page is for — the conversation you are already having.
The difference in practice
"Hi 👋 braids and treatments, DM for prices, based in Soweto"
One link, sent into the same conversation
Your name and photo when it unfurls in the chat. Prices in rands with no VAT surprise. Your hours, your map, and a WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you.
You can build your whole page without paying anything and without creating an account. Tap some blocks, put your own words and photos in, and see what it looks like. A package is only what turns it into a link you can send.
