Dealership websites
Car Dealership Website Providers
A showroom site built around the car page, with stock that loads itself.
Last updated
Social Agencies is a car dealership website provider that designs and builds sites for South African dealers. Every site is hand-coded, loads stock from the feed you already have, and puts an enquiry form and WhatsApp button on every car. The site, the domain and every lead are registered to your dealership, so the showroom online is yours to keep.
What's included
What a Social Agencies dealer site includes
-
Stock from your feed
Loaded from your dealer system or portal export, with sold cars removed automatically.
-
A page for every car
Full-size photographs, the specification and the price, built to load fast on a phone.
-
WhatsApp on every car
WhatsApp, call and email buttons that already carry the vehicle the buyer is looking at.
-
Filters that work on a phone
Make, model, price and year, so a buyer finds the right car in a few taps.
-
Trust on show
Reviews, your address and trading details, so a buyer knows you are a real dealership.
-
Leads in your database
Every enquiry saved to a database registered to your dealership, not ours.
The feed goes in first
Can my new website use the stock feed I already have?
Usually, yes. If your cars already go out to AutoTrader or Cars.co.za, the same export can drive your own site, so nothing is typed twice.
Social Agencies checks what your current system exports before you commit. The feed is connected before the design work starts, because it decides whether the site is still accurate a month after launch.
Franchise dealership
A franchise showroom built model by model.
Changan Table View has a page per model, a live colour-changer and test drives booked by scanning a code on the showroom floor, with every lead landing at the dealership.

Your options
Portal listing, template site or a Social Agencies build
Three ways to put your stock in front of buyers, side by side.
| Portal listing | Template dealer site | Social Agencies dealer site | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the buyer's details | The portal | Often the platform | Your dealership |
| What sits next to your car | Other dealers' stock | Only your stock | Only your stock |
| Look | The portal's grid | Shared layout, your logo on top | Designed for your dealership |
| Stock | Loaded by feed or by hand | Often loaded by hand | Loaded from your feed |
| When you stop paying | Listings and audience go | The site stays with the platform | You keep the site and the leads |
The Social Agencies method
How does working with Social Agencies work?
- 01
Discover
A short call about your business, where enquiries come from today and where they get lost.
- 02
Plan and quote
A written plan and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
- 03
Build
You get a live preview link from early on and watch it take shape, instead of waiting for a reveal.
- 04
Launch and grow
It goes live on accounts in your name, then we host, support and keep improving it every month.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the site when it is finished?
You do. The domain, hosting and database are in your dealership's name from the start of the build, so there is nothing to transfer and nothing to hold back.
Do you use WordPress or a drag-and-drop builder?
No. Social Agencies hand-codes dealership sites on Astro or Next.js and hosts them on Vercel. That is why they load quickly and why there is no plugin licence to renew.
Why is the vehicle page the most important page?
A buyer usually lands on one car from an advert, a search or a portal, and that page decides whether they phone you. Social Agencies designs it first and builds the rest of the site around it. When the enquiry is recorded against the car, your salesperson knows what the buyer wants before phoning back.
Can I make changes after the site is live?
Yes. Small changes are covered by the monthly retainer. Anything larger is quoted before it starts, so there is no hourly meter running when you ask a question.
Will moving my domain affect my email?
No. When we point your domain at the new site, we leave your email settings alone. Your mailboxes keep working exactly as they do now.
What does a dealership website cost?
The price depends on the number of pages, how your stock feed works and what you want wired in behind it. Social Agencies quotes a fixed price after a short call, and you keep the quote whether you build with us or not.
