TRIDENT PULSE

Everything your business needs online. One monthly price.

A subscription for SMMEs who want a professional online presence — designed, deployed, and managed by Trident Cloud. From R499/month.

WHY PULSE

Skip the setup. Skip the headaches. Just launch.

Most small businesses need a website to be found. But between hosting, domains, SSL, email, design, updates — the technical side eats weeks of your time. Pulse removes all of that.

Live in days, not months

We handle everything from design to deployment. Your site is up and running in under two weeks.

Always secure, always up

SSL certificates, security patches, daily backups, uptime monitoring — all included by default.

Real people, real support

Business-hours support from real humans on WhatsApp and email. No ticket queues, no waiting.

Grows with your business

Upgrade tiers, add pages, add features anytime. No re-platforming, no rebuilds.

PRICING

Three plans. One monthly price. Everything included.

Choose your tier. Cancel anytime after 12 months. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Loyalty reward: Stay on Pulse for 36 months and the site transfers to you for free. No buy-out fee, no strings.

PULSE VS ONCE-OFF

Which is right for you?

Pulse is our subscription. Once-off is our traditional project model. Trident owns the site during a Pulse subscription; ownership transfers after a buy-out or free transfer after 36 continuous months. Once-off projects give you ownership, and both options include 12 months of hosting.

  • No ongoing subscription (12 mo hosting included)
  • Custom features, integrations
  • Larger scope, longer timeline
  • Traditional agency engagement

FAQ

Common questions

Pulse is our monthly subscription for small businesses that want a professional online presence without the technical overhead. You get a website, hosting, domain, SSL, support, and monthly content updates — all handled by us, all on one monthly price.

Two reasons: (1) It keeps upfront costs low so you can launch today. (2) It keeps us invested in your success — we handle updates, security, and support every month, so your site stays current.

There is a 12-month minimum commitment, which covers the setup and design work. Trident owns the site during your subscription.

Your plan continues month-to-month. You can cancel anytime after 12 months with 30 days' written notice.

Yes. A buy-out fee applies to leave before the 12-month minimum: R5,000 (Starter), R8,000 (Business), or R12,000 (Premium). Buying out transfers the full site — code, content, and domain — to you, with no further obligation to Trident.

A buy-out unlocks full transfer of the site — code, content, and domain. Once transferred, you own the site outright and have no further obligation to Trident.

After 36 continuous months on Pulse, the full site — code, content, and domain — transfers to you for free, with no buy-out fee. You then own it outright.

The site is deactivated and your data is preserved for 30 days in case you return. There is no refund for the 12 months paid, and you do not own the site unless you pay the applicable buy-out fee.

Pulse is designed to grow with you. You can upgrade tiers anytime. When you outgrow Pulse, you can transition to our Build services. Trident owns the site during your subscription unless you complete a buy-out or the free transfer after 36 continuous months.

Yes. We register and manage a .co.za domain for you in the first year, free. After that, it's included in your subscription. The domain transfers to you with a buy-out or the free transfer after 36 continuous months.

Absolutely. Point your existing domain to us and we'll handle the rest — no extra cost.

There is no separate setup fee. Setup and design work are covered by the 12-month minimum subscription.
