PRESS RELEASE
MATSAPHA – Stratcom Pty Ltd has announced the launch of the Stratcom MSME Website Sprint, a nation-wide competition that will award three Eswatini MSMEs fully built, professional websites valued at E15,000 each — designed, developed and launched in just 10 days per winner.
The Sprint is purpose-built to help small businesses move from informal or social-only selling to a credible, high-converting web presence with on-page SEO, analytics and WhatsApp click-to-chat integrated from day one. Women-owned and youth-owned (under 35) enterprises are prioritised, with at least one winner guaranteed in each of those categories.
“We’ve met hundreds of entrepreneurs who are doing amazing work offline and on WhatsApp, but need a fast, affordable path to a real website,” said Sibusiso Mngadi, CEO of Stratcom. “This Sprint is our way of investing in the ecosystem and proving what a smart, focused 10-day build can achieve.”
What winners receive
- A 5-page website (Home, About, Products/Services, Testimonials/Portfolio, Contact) built on 10Web/WordPress
- 1 campaign landing page for lead capture
- 1 year domain & hosting with SSL
- On-page SEO, Google Analytics 4 and Tag Manager
- WhatsApp click-to-chat + lead form with email alerts
