How we work

We quote per engagement, not from a rate card.

Every engagement here is scoped and quoted for the work in front of us, so you are not paying a rate designed for someone else's project. What follows is exactly how that works: the minimums, what moves the number, and what you get back after the first call.

Written scope

You approve it before we start

Fixed quote

No hourly surprises on scoped work

Two days

Typical turnaround on an estimate

Taking work now

Usually starting inside a week

Three ways to engage us

Pick the one that sounds like you. Each is quoted for the work itself — the difference is how much of our time you are reserving and how much notice you need to give.

Most common

Agencies and consultancies

White-label delivery capacity

Subcontract senior delivery under your own brand. You keep the client relationship, we never approach them, and the terms are agreed before work starts.

From ten days a month

See partner capacity

Teams that need hands

Embedded capacity

A senior full-stack developer inside your team for a day, a month, or an hour of advice when you are stuck. Your repo, your process, your standups.

Half-day to monthly minimums

Sites that are already live

Ongoing care and growth

Monthly work on something that exists: compounding SEO, or the unglamorous upkeep that keeps a live site from breaking.

Monthly, low commitment

How a quote is built

Three steps, and nothing is billable until you have approved the second one.

01

A short scope call

Forty-five minutes on what has to ship and by when. Free, and we will tell you if you do not need us.

02

A written scope and a fixed quote

Deliverables, timeline, assumptions, and the number — usually within two working days of the call.

03

You approve before anything starts

Nothing is billable until you have signed off the scope. If the scope changes later, we quote the change separately.

What moves the number

Three things decide whether a build takes ten days or forty. None of them are secret, and knowing them before you brief anyone saves money.

Scope clarity

A written page list and a decision-maker we can ask. Vague scope is the single biggest multiplier, because it turns into rework.

Integrations and auth

Payments, SSO, CRM and ERP connections, and anything with a third party who has to answer an email before we can proceed.

Content and design readiness

Copy and images supplied, or we draft them. This is usually the difference between a two-week build and a six-week one.

Typical project cost

R30,000 to R90,000

That is what our scoped work has actually cost, not a rate card, and what you approve in writing is what you pay — no hourly surprises. A focused site with the copy supplied sits near the bottom and typically ships inside a week; add payments, third-party integrations or a CMS migration and it moves up.

Embedded capacity is different — it is measured in days rather than money, so you are never paying a rate that was built for someone else's project.

Fastest way to start

If you want something live quickly rather than a long discovery, this is the shortest path from a call to a working site.

One-week launch sprint

R18,000 fixed

A focused site, live inside a week, for a fixed price. No hourly billing and no scope creep — the scope is agreed in writing before we start.

  • One to five focused pages

  • Messaging and copy structure

  • Mobile-first build with SEO foundations

  • Contact, WhatsApp and analytics wired in

  • Live inside seven working days

How we work FAQ

Can we combine a project with a retainer?

Yes. That is our preferred path. Build at a published day rate, then move onto monthly capacity, SEO Growth or a Care Plan.

What currency do you quote in?

Yes. Listed prices are in South African Rand and exclude any third-party licences called out in a proposal.

Do retainers require a long lock-in?

We recommend three months for SEO so compounding can start, then month-to-month. Care Plans are month-to-month after onboarding.

Is the consult really free?

Yes. We will look at your goals and tell you whether a project, retainer, or both makes sense. No obligation.

What if I need something outside these engagement models?

Enterprise and custom apps are scoped before we start. Use Get Started or WhatsApp and we will quote clearly.

When do I pay?

Scoped projects usually start with a deposit and milestone billing. Capacity and retainers are billed monthly in advance once the scope is agreed.

Not sure which fits?

Tell us what you are trying to get done. You will get a written scope and a fixed quote — and an honest answer if we are not the right fit.
