Website Protection
Protect your website, search visibility and enquiries.
A website is not something you launch once and forget. Browsers change, pages slow down, old links break, forms stop delivering, image files grow heavy and small technical issues can quietly cost you leads.
PixelTime’s website maintenance plans are built for South African small businesses that want practical support without hiring an in-house developer.
Reduce website risk with regular checks, safe backups and basic security reviews.
Keep pages loading smoothly with speed checks, image reviews and clean technical updates.
Make sure forms, phone links, WhatsApp buttons and enquiry paths still work.

Custom-Coded Website Support
PixelTime builds and maintains lightweight, custom-coded websites — not WordPress templates.
PixelTime Web Design was founded by Shayne Prinsloo in 2010 and focuses on fast, custom-coded websites for small businesses. That means maintenance is built around clean code, speed, HTML structure, redirects, schema, metadata, forms, image handling, hosting setup and practical technical fixes.
If your existing website was built by another provider, PixelTime can review the setup first and confirm whether it is a good fit for ongoing support. Custom CMS, WordPress, Shopify, e-commerce or complex third-party systems may need a separate review before maintenance can be confirmed.
