Studio
No mystery. Just a Joburg studio that does the work and shows it.
We build, automate and run the digital systems SA businesses depend on. Here's how we work, what we believe, and what we'll put in writing.
How we work
A process you can follow
- 1
Discovery call
We get to know your business, your goals, and your constraints — budget, timeline, load shedding, the lot. If what you've asked for isn't what you need, we'll say so before a cent changes hands.
- 2
Scope & fixed quote
You get a written scope and a real Rand figure before anything starts. No open-ended hourly meters, no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
- 3
Build in the open
We work with regular click-through previews, so you can see the real thing taking shape — not a mock-up — and flag anything before it ships.
- 4
Launch & hand over
We deploy, hand over every account, credential and codebase you own, and walk you through it. Then you run it yourself — or we keep it on a Care plan.
What we believe
The principles we hold to
You own everything
Code, accounts, domains, DNS, content — all yours, handed over cleanly. No retainer to keep the lights on, no platform you can't walk away from.
Real prices, in writing
Fixed-scope work shows real Rand prices. Custom builds get a written quote before we start. “Contact for a quote” is not a pricing model.
Built for SA conditions
Served from Cloudflare's Johannesburg edge. Fast on a mid-range Android over patchy LTE. Still reachable when the power's out — because the site lives on the cloud, not your server. POPIA-aware from the first commit.
One team, full accountability
We build it, automate the work around it, and keep it running. One studio accountable for the whole system — no agency handoffs, no three vendors pointing fingers.
Built in public
Every service we sell, we run on our own business first. The results — good and bad — go into the journal and changelog. You can see the work before you pay for anything.
Honest over eager
If a cheaper option does the job — or Wix does the job — we'll say so. We'd rather lose a sale than deliver something that doesn't serve your business.
In writing
What we guarantee
- A fixed, written quote before work begins — the price is the price.
- You own your code, accounts and domains, handed over in full.
- We reply to enquiries within one business day.
- Everything we ship is tested to a 90+ Lighthouse score for performance and accessibility.
- Every site ships with a POPIA-compliant privacy notice, included.
- If we can't help, we'll say so and point you to someone who can.
Our first proof is this site — built on Next.js, deployed to Cloudflare's Johannesburg edge, with POPIA-ready forms and a sub-second load on mobile. We run every service on our own business before we sell it. The work is live, and you're reading it right now.
