Lightweight websites for small business

Fast. Simple. Professional.

Built for people who just want it to work.

About PicoBuilder

Many small businesses in South Africa and Africa are missing out on customers because they do not have a presence online.

Studies have shown that a significant percentage of owners of small businesses, consultants, freelancers, or one-man operations that are normally run on a tight budget believe that a website is not necessary.

At the same time, there is a common misperception that a website needs to be large, complex, and filled with multiple pages. For most small companies, that is not the case at all. An elaborate website with all the bells and whistles may be impressive, but in most cases, it's overkill.

Modern lightweight website workspace

Simply put, today, if your business is not visible online, you are being overlooked. For example, potential customers, whether they hear of your business, service, or product through word of mouth, a chance meeting, or in conversation, will almost certainly look for you online — or ask you for your website address.

When people search online for your business, even a simple lightweight, but professional, web presence can be the difference between being found or being overlooked.

PicoBuilder was created to solve this.

Building clean, effective one-page scrollable websites that give small businesses a strong online presence without the complexity is the deal.

Importantly, after handover, the PicoBuilder website becomes fully your own. As the owner you are not locked into a complicated platform dependent on unneccessary expensive systems for which you are charged monthly.

After a once-off payment PicoBuilder belongs to you for life. A monthly website update/upgrade/maintenance subscription is optional.

Whether you are a plumber, electrician, landscaper, or any service-based business, PicoBuilder makes it easy to get online with a website that works.
