Frequently asked questions

How do I create a website in South Africa?

Sign up on themv.shop, choose a theme, add your content, and publish to your own subdomain. Our no-code builder means you don't need any coding or design experience.

How much does a website cost in South Africa?

Free themes cost R0 and apply instantly. Premium themes are a one-time purchase in ZAR. There's no recurring subscription required to keep your site live.

Can I build a website without coding?

Yes. The builder uses drag-and-drop blocks and ready-made sections, so you can create a professional site without writing a single line of code.

Do I need a theMV store to use themv.shop?

Only if you want to sell products online. For a website — business, NGO, or portfolio — no store is needed. Add commerce later by opening a store on themv.co.za and applying one of our themes.

Can I sell products on my website?

Yes, if you have a theMV store. Build an online store with products, cart, and checkout powered by Yoco in South African Rand. Get a store on themv.co.za to start selling — and apply one of our themes. No store? A website-only build doesn't need one.

Do you offer website design services?

Yes. Independent South African designers publish themes on our marketplace. Browse, preview, and apply their designs — or use the platform to connect with a designer.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. You can publish to a themv.shop subdomain for free or connect a custom domain you already own.
