About Send to Site
What is Send to Site?
Send to Site is a South African website care service that rebuilds your WordPress site as a fast static site, then lets you change it by email and adds up to four SEO articles a month that you approve before they go live.
It is a service of Raimond AI (Pty) Ltd, a Johannesburg company.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. If you can write an email, you can change your website. You describe what you want in plain words, look at the preview we send back and tap Publish. We handle the hosting, the speed, the security and the search engine side.
Who is behind Send to Site?
Raimond AI (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2025/964604/07), based in Saxonwold, Johannesburg. The service is built by Arno van der Walt, and Laurence Stafford looks after new clients. See about us.
Price and billing
How much should I pay for website maintenance?
Published South African care plans run from under R100 to almost R7 000 a month, and most sell a set number of hours for changes, with hosting often extra. Send to Site is R1 500 a month including VAT for the first six months, which covers rebuilding your site, then R750 a month. Hosting, changes by email and up to 4 SEO articles a month are included.
Our website maintenance cost guide compares the published plans hour for hour.
Why is the price higher for the first six months?
The first six months pay for rebuilding your site: every page recreated as a fast static page, checked against the original and switched over with your URLs intact. Once that is paid for, the price halves to R750 a month and stays there.
Is there a contract or a minimum term?
No. The plan runs month to month from the first month, and you can stop at any time with one calendar month's notice, including during the first six months. The higher price in those months pays for the rebuild as you go, so there is nothing to lock you in.
Do your prices include VAT?
Yes. R1 500 and R750 are the full monthly prices, VAT included. Many agencies and care plans quote before VAT, so add 15% to their price when you compare.
What counts as a change, and is there a limit?
A change is anything you would ask a web person to do on your existing pages: text, prices, hours, photos, a new section or a new page. There is no limit on the number of changes, and nothing is billed by the hour. One change is worked on at a time, so send the next one when the last is published, or reply to the open one to add to it.
Are there any extra costs?
Not from us. Hosting is included and there is no setup fee. Your domain name stays registered in your name, so its yearly renewal is paid to your registrar as it is today. Prices include VAT.
What happens after six months?
The price drops to R750 a month without you doing anything. Everything stays included: hosting, changes by email and the articles.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. There is no minimum term: give us one calendar month's notice, even during the first six months. Your domain, email and content were always yours, and we hand over your site’s files so any developer can host them. See the terms.
The rebuild
Do websites need monthly maintenance?
A WordPress site does: its core software, theme and plugins need regular updates and security patches, and something has to run the backups. A static site has no plugins and no login page, so most of that upkeep disappears. What every site still needs is correct, current content, and that is what the monthly plan looks after.
Will I lose my Google rankings when you rebuild my site?
The rebuild keeps every URL, and every page is checked against the original before the switch: the same words, links, headings, page titles and descriptions. Any address that has to move gets a permanent redirect. Nobody can promise rankings, but a move that changes nothing search engines read is the safest kind there is.
Will my website look different after the rebuild?
No. Each page is compared with the original on desktop, tablet and phone before the switch, and the words must match exactly. Once the rebuild is live, you can ask for design tweaks by email, such as a bigger logo or a new colour for a button, and approve each one.
Which websites can you not rebuild?
Online shops (WooCommerce), membership sites, online courses and booking systems. Those need a server running behind the pages, so a static rebuild is the wrong tool. Service businesses, company sites, portfolios and blogs are a good fit.
My site is not on WordPress. Can you still help?
Send to Site is built for WordPress sites, and that is where the rebuild is proven. If yours runs on something else, ask for the free audit: it tells you whether your site can be rebuilt the same way.
How long does the rebuild take?
It depends mostly on how many pages your site has and which WordPress theme and plugins it uses. We give you a date once we have looked at your site, and your current site stays live until the new one has passed every check.
How much does it cost to have a website redesigned?
South African agencies commonly quote R15 000 to R60 000 for a small business redesign, paid up front. A Send to Site rebuild keeps your design and is included in the monthly plan: R1 500 a month for the first 6 months, then R750 a month. Our website redesign prices guide breaks the options down.
What happens to my domain and email?
They stay where they are, in your name. Your domain is pointed at the new site, and nothing else changes: your email, your domain registration and your other accounts are never touched.
Changes by email
How long does a website change take?
A small text change usually reaches your inbox as a preview within a few minutes; on our pilot site one went from email to live in 3 min 57 s. Changes to the layout or the site-wide styling take longer, sometimes more than ten minutes. The acknowledgement arrives within a minute either way.
What if the change is not what I wanted?
Reply to the preview email and say what to change, in plain words. The change is rebuilt and you get a new preview. Nothing goes live until you tap Publish, and if you change your mind afterwards, reply and ask for it to be undone.
What if my request is unclear?
If the answer would change what you see, you get up to three short questions in one email, with options to pick from. Small gaps are filled with a sensible choice that is listed in the preview email, so you can correct it before publishing.
Who checks the changes?
Three things stand between an email and your live site: automated checks that build and test the site, a separate reviewer that only reads the change and confirms it does exactly what you asked, and you, because nothing goes live until you tap Publish.
Can I undo a change after it is live?
Yes. Reply to the email about that change and ask for it to be undone. Every change is stored in version history, so the undo restores exactly what was there before, and you get a preview of it like any other change.
What happens if I ignore a preview?
You get a reminder after three days. After seven days the preview expires and we tell you, and nothing on your site changes. Send the request again whenever you are ready.
Can I still edit the website myself?
Not through a login, because there is none, and that is part of why the site is fast and hard to break into. You email the change instead, from any device, and approve the preview. Tell us which email addresses may send changes, and anyone on your team can do it.
Can my staff send changes?
Yes. Tell us which email addresses may send changes for your website. Each request is checked to be really from that address, so a forged email cannot change your site, and every preview goes back to the person who asked.
Can I write my request in Afrikaans?
Yes. Requests in Afrikaans are understood and built. Our replies are in English for now.
How much does it cost to have a website updated?
Published South African rates run from about R500 an hour for once-off changes to monthly plans of roughly R400 to R2 500 for 1 to 20 hours. With Send to Site, changes are part of the monthly plan (R1 500 a month for the first 6 months, then R750 a month), with no limit and no hourly billing.
SEO articles and AI search
Do I have to take the SEO articles?
No. You approve or decline every article, and you can tell us you do not want them at all. The price is the same either way; up to 4 a month are included for those who want them.
How much does it cost to write content for SEO?
South African writers publish rates from about R300 to R3 500 per 1 000 words, and SEO agencies charge from about R3 500 to R50 000 a month, often with a minimum term of three months or more. Send to Site includes up to 4 articles a month in the plan, each one approved by you. See our guide to SEO prices in South Africa.
Are the articles written by AI?
Yes, drafted by AI and then held to strict rules: topics come from real search data, every claim is fact-checked section by section, anything about law or money is worded carefully, and an article that cannot be checked is not sent. You are the person who reads it and decides whether it goes live.
Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. What we control is the work: a fast site, articles on topics people actually search for, pages structured the way search engines and AI assistants read them, and each new article submitted for indexing the day it goes live.
Will the articles help me show up in ChatGPT and other AI answers?
They are written to be quoted: each section opens with a direct answer, questions are marked up for machines, and AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are allowed to read your site. No one can guarantee an AI assistant will cite you, but a fast, current, clearly written site gives it every reason to.
Is SEO still worth it in 2026?
Yes, and it now reaches further: the same pages that rank in Google are the ones AI assistants read and quote. What has changed is what works. Thin, keyword-stuffed posts are ignored; clear answers, real numbers and fresh pages are what get found and cited.
What if I do not have time to read the articles?
The article waits for you. We send it again weekly for a month, then every two weeks, and after 90 days it is archived, never deleted. We do not write the next one until you decide, so you get fewer articles, never a backlog.
