Find the business
Someone you know who needs a website, or a better one than they have.
Digital Switch · Referral programme
Earn R750 for every client you bring.
You know business owners who need a website. We build animated, high-end sites that make them look like the biggest name in town. You win them over, we do the paperwork and the build, and you get paid.
What you earn
Once-off, for every website sale you close.
That's 25% of the R2,999 build fee. There is no cap: bring one client or twenty.
How it works
You do the convincing.
You do the convincing.
We do the rest.
Show them and win them over
Share the demo, explain what they get and what it costs, and answer their questions using this page.
Bring them when they're ready to buy
Not just a name or a number: someone who has said "yes, I want this." Send them to us on WhatsApp with their name and business, or start a group chat with all three of us.
Digital Switch signs them up
We go through the agreement with them and they pay R2,999.
You get paid R750
Within 7 days of their full R2,999 clearing, by EFT to your bank account.
The rules
Simple, and fair to everyone.
R750 per client, paid once.It's for the website sale only.
Paid after the full R2,999 is in.If a client doesn't pay, or the sale is refunded, no commission is due.
Ready-to-buy clients only.We pay for clients, not contacts. A name or "you should call my uncle" doesn't qualify.
Tell us who you're working on.WhatsApp us the business name when you start. If two people approach the same business, the first to tell us gets the commission.
Stick to what's included.Only promise what's in the package below. For anything extra, say "let me check with Digital Switch."
Ask before you share a number.Get the business owner's permission before you pass on their contact details (POPIA).
No limit.Every client you bring is another R750.
Tax is your side.Commission is income, so declare it if you need to.
What you're selling
Don't call it a website. Every business owner has seen a basic website. This one moves.
It moves.
Smooth animations as you scroll. It feels like a big brand's site, not a template.
People will assume you paid R20k.
High-end design at a small-business price.
It brings you customers.
One tap to WhatsApp you, call you or find you on the map.
Made for your industry.
A salon site looks like a salon. A caterer's looks like a caterer's.
Always show the demo. Open it on your phone and hand it over. Let them scroll. Your words just get them to look.

- Ask for the yes."Shall I connect you with Digital Switch so they can get started?"
When they say…
"I already have Facebook or Instagram."
"Keep them! A website makes you look established, shows up on Google and sends people to your WhatsApp. Social media is rented. Your website is yours."
"It's too expensive."
"Agencies charge R5,000 to R15,000 for a custom site. This one is animated and made for your industry. One or two new customers pay for it."
"I don't need a website."
"When someone hears about you, the first thing they do is Google you. What do they find right now?"
"Why R199 a month?"
"It covers hosting, your .co.za address, security and small updates. That's less than R7 a day to stay online."
"Let me think about it."
"Of course. What's holding you back? I'll get you an answer."
Then follow up in 2 to 3 days.
"Can it take bookings or sell online?"
"Let me check with Digital Switch. That's quoted separately."
