Anyone can build it. Fewer are still here in year ten.
The usual story with custom software is that the developer moves on, the documentation goes stale, and a system nobody understands quietly becomes a liability.
We have been doing this for 29 years and 4 of the systems we built have been running for over a decade. Same two people, same phone number.

Four ways we help.
Four steps, no mystery.
Discovery
We sit with you and work out what actually happens day to day — not what the org chart says happens. Most of the useful detail surfaces here.
Design & planning
A plan that fits your budget and timeline, with the trade-offs spelled out. If we think the project is a bad idea, this is where we say so.
Build & test
You see working software early and often, so course corrections are cheap. No six-week silence followed by a reveal.
Launch & support
We go live with you, then stay on. Updates, fixes and new features for as long as you need them.
Straight answers.
Anything not covered here, just ask. Get in touch.
How much does a typical project cost?
Most of our work falls between R25,000 and R250,000. We give a detailed quote once we understand what you need — no hidden fees, no surprise invoices. Tell us your budget up front and we'll say honestly whether it's realistic.
How long does a project take?
Simple websites typically take 2-4 weeks. Custom applications range from 6-12 weeks depending on complexity. You'll get a realistic timeline in our first conversation, and we'll tell you if we think it will slip.
What happens after launch?
We stay. Several of our systems have been running for over a decade and we still support them — that is the whole point of how we work. Support ranges from ad-hoc help to a monthly retainer, whatever fits.
What makes you different from an agency?
We're not an agency — we're two people, and the ones you meet are the ones who build your software. No account managers, no juniors learning on your project, no agency overhead in the price.
What technologies do you work with?
React, Next.js, SvelteKit, React Native, Node.js, Python and .NET, with PostgreSQL, MongoDB or SQL Server behind them. We pick per project rather than forcing everything into one stack.
Can you work on a system somebody else built?
Yes, regularly. Modernising legacy software, adding features, or connecting existing systems together. We will assess what you have and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping.
How do we get started?
Send us a message. We'll set up a free 30-minute call to understand what you need and work out whether we're a good fit. No obligation and no sales pressure.
Chosen per project, not per habit.
We pick what suits the job and what you will be able to maintain — including handing it to someone else one day.
