Services
Six ways we work with you.
We build the kind of software your business deserves — from marketing sites that rank on day one, to custom platforms that replace a stack of spreadsheets. Pick the shape that fits, or let us scope it together.
How we engage
Three shapes. Same standard of work.
Whether it is a single project or a multi-year partnership, the engineering bar is identical. Pick the engagement that matches the work — not the other way around.
Project
Fixed scope. Fixed price.
A defined deliverable shipped end-to-end — usually a website, an MVP, or a discrete feature. Quoted in three business days, delivered against a Linear board you can read.
- check3-day quote
- checkVercel previews from week one
- checkCode in your GitHub at the end
Retainer
Monthly hours. Compounding output.
A standing block of senior engineering time each month — for product iteration, growth experiments, monitoring, and the work that never quite fits a project shape.
- checkFrom R15 000 / month
- check8–40 hours of build
- checkHosting, monitoring, security
Advisory
Architecture-level partnership.
Board-style engagement for founders and CTOs — architecture review, AI strategy, hiring decisions, and a senior outside view on what you are building.
- checkMonthly working sessions
- checkAsync review of PRs and specs
- checkEquity-style options

Let’s scope it together.
A 20-minute call. We tell you what shape the work should be — and what it actually costs. No discovery deck, no nine-month runway.
FAQ
The questions everyone asks.
If yours is not here, write to us. We answer every email.
Marketing sites start around R35 000. Custom web apps typically range from R120 000 to R450 000+ depending on scope. Every project is custom-quoted after a 30-minute discovery call. We share a fixed-scope estimate within 3 business days.
Marketing sites: 2-4 weeks. Web apps: 6-12 weeks for an MVP, with weekly Vercel previews from week one. We do not believe in 9-month "discovery" phases.
Yes — completely. Every project ships to your GitHub, your Vercel, and your Firebase / Supabase. No vendor lock-in, no recurring "platform fees".
Yes — based in Pretoria, working with clients across South Africa, the UK, and the US. We invoice in ZAR (with USD/EUR available) and accept EFT, PayPal, and international cards.
Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind v4, TypeScript, and Vercel for the front end. Firebase or Supabase for data. Anthropic Claude and OpenAI for AI features. Resend for email. We pick the boring, battle-tested tools — not whatever is on Hacker News this week.
Often, yes. We do strategic engagements (architecture review, AI feature builds, performance audits) that slot into existing teams without owning the whole codebase.
We offer monthly retainers from R15k/month covering hosting, monitoring, security patches, and 8-20 hours of dev work. Or pay-as-you-go at R950/hour for ad-hoc work.
