We offer monthly maintenance plans starting from R1,500/month for basic support to R10,000+/month for enterprise-level support with priority response times. All our websites come with a 30-day post-launch support period included in the initial development cost.
We use modern, industry-standard technologies to build secure, scalable websites. For frontend development, we use HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, and Vue.js. For backend development, we work with PHP, Node.js, Python, and Laravel. We specialize in WordPress, custom CMS solutions, and headless CMS architectures. For databases, we use MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. We also implement modern tools like Git for version control, Docker for containerization, and CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment. Technology choices are tailored to your specific project requirements.
Absolutely! We specialize in website redesigns and modernization. Our redesign process includes analyzing your current website, identifying areas for improvement, creating a modern design that aligns with your brand, improving user experience and navigation, optimizing for mobile devices, implementing SEO best practices, and migrating existing content. We can work with your existing platform or recommend a migration to a better solution. Redesign costs vary based on the scope but typically range from R20,000 to R150,000. We ensure zero downtime during the transition and provide training on the new system.
Mobile app development costs in South Africa vary significantly based on complexity. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) app starts from R80,000-R150,000. Business apps with custom features range from R150,000-R400,000. E-commerce apps cost R200,000-R500,000 depending on features. Enterprise apps with complex integrations can cost R500,000-R2,000,000+. Factors affecting cost include platform (iOS, Android, or both), design complexity, number of features, backend development, API integrations, and ongoing maintenance. Cross-platform development (Flutter/React Native) is typically 30-40% cheaper than native development for both platforms. Contact us for a detailed quote.
The platform choice depends on your target audience and budget. In South Africa, Android has approximately 85% market share, while iOS has 15% but represents higher-income users. If budget allows, we recommend both platforms to maximize reach. For startups or limited budgets, start with Android to reach the majority, then expand to iOS. Alternatively, use cross-platform development (Flutter or React Native) to build for both platforms simultaneously at 30-40% lower cost than native development. We analyze your target market demographics and business goals to recommend the best approach.
Mobile app development timelines depend on complexity. An MVP app takes 2-3 months from concept to App Store launch. Business apps with custom features require 3-5 months. E-commerce apps need 4-6 months depending on features. Enterprise apps with complex integrations can take 6-12 months. The timeline includes discovery and planning (1-2 weeks), UI/UX design (2-3 weeks), development (6-16 weeks), testing and QA (2-3 weeks), and App Store submission and approval (1-2 weeks). We provide detailed project timelines and regular progress updates throughout development.

A custom CRM is a customer relationship management system built specifically for your business needs. Unlike Salesforce and other off-the-shelf solutions, a custom CRM is tailored to your exact workflows, industry requirements, and processes. Key differences: Custom CRM has no monthly per-user fees (one-time development cost), includes only features you need (no bloat), integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, can be modified anytime without vendor restrictions, and you own the code and data completely. Custom CRMs are ideal for businesses with unique processes, specific industry requirements, or those wanting to avoid ongoing subscription costs. Typical cost is R150,000-R800,000 depending on complexity, with no recurring fees.
Custom CRM development costs range from R150,000 for basic systems to R800,000+ for enterprise solutions. A basic CRM with contact management, lead tracking, and reporting starts at R150,000-R250,000. Mid-level CRMs with sales pipeline, automation, and integrations cost R250,000-R500,000. Enterprise CRMs with advanced features, multiple departments, and complex workflows range from R500,000-R1,500,000+. Unlike Salesforce (R800-R2,500 per user per month), custom CRMs have no recurring fees. For a team of 20 users, a custom CRM pays for itself in 1-2 years compared to Salesforce. We provide detailed cost breakdowns and ROI analysis during consultation.
Yes, we specialize in CRM integrations with existing business systems. We can integrate with accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Pastel), email platforms (Gmail, Outlook, Office 365), marketing tools (Mailchimp, HubSpot), e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento), ERP systems, payment gateways, telephony systems, and custom databases. Integration methods include REST APIs, webhooks, database connections, and file imports/exports. We ensure real-time or scheduled data synchronization, maintain data integrity, and provide comprehensive testing. Integration costs vary from R15,000 for simple connections to R100,000+ for complex, multi-system integrations.
Yes, comprehensive training is included with every custom CRM project. Our training includes on-site or online sessions for administrators and end-users, detailed user manuals and documentation, video tutorials for common tasks, hands-on practice sessions, ongoing support during the transition period, and train-the-trainer programs for larger organizations. We typically provide 2-5 days of training depending on system complexity and team size. Additional training sessions can be scheduled as needed. We also offer ongoing support packages that include refresher training, new feature training, and support for new team members.
