Get it built now. Pay monthly. End up owning it.

Yes. Once the total shown has been paid, the software is yours. You get the source code, the database, the documentation and a licence to use and change it however you like, forever. We put that in the agreement before you pay us a cent.

Yes, and that is the test that matters. You get the source code in a repository in your name, the database, the deployment instructions and a signed assignment of the copyright. South African law requires a copyright assignment to be in writing and signed, so we do that properly rather than just saying the word "own".

Being straight about the edges: the open source frameworks, libraries and fonts underneath stay under their own licences, the same as they would with any developer, and third party services like a payment gateway or a mapping API stay in your own accounts. What you own is everything we wrote for you, and it is built on ordinary mainstream tools so any competent developer can pick it up.

You phone us and we sort it out. Late payments happen in every business and one slow month from a big client is not a reason to switch anything off. There is a grace period written into the agreement, and no penalty interest.

If payments stop altogether we talk first, then pause the plan rather than cancel it, and your data stays exportable the whole time. Nothing gets deleted without written notice and a window for you to take a full copy. Everything you have already paid stays credited to your account, so if you restart later you pick up where you left off.

You do, from day one. Your customers, your orders, your records, all of it is yours the whole way through. Ask us any time and we will export the lot in a normal format you can open. That is never conditional on you being paid up.

You can settle the outstanding balance at any time and own it immediately, with no penalty and no early settlement fee. That figure only ever goes down, and we will tell you what it is whenever you ask.

If you would rather walk away entirely, we talk first. You keep your domain and your data, we help you move, and we stop the hosting. What has been paid stays paid, and what is still owing on the build is what we would need to agree on. We have never had to make that an unpleasant conversation.

Yes, and it is cheaper. Choose Pay once above and you will see the price. After that you only pay a small monthly amount for the domain, hosting, backups and support, because those cost real money every month whether you own the software or not.

Fair question, and you should ask it of anyone, especially a small studio. Promises are easy, so here are the mechanisms instead.

Your domain is registered in your name from day one, not ours, so you keep it whatever happens. You get read access to your own code repository from the first commit, so the code is never somewhere you cannot reach. Your data is exportable on request at any time. And the agreement carries a handover clause: if we cannot carry on, the assignment is triggered and you get everything needed to run it, at no cost and with no balance owing.

One .co.za domain, registered and renewed for as long as you are with us, in your name. If you want a premium domain or a .com that costs more than R1,000 a year, we quote that separately at cost. No markup.

A website is usually two to three weeks. An online shop is three to five weeks. A web app is six to ten weeks depending on how much it has to do. A mobile app is eight to twelve weeks, and the app stores add a week or two of their own for approval. Your monthly only starts once it is live and you are using it.

That is what the included hours are for, and most small changes fit inside them. Anything bigger gets quoted before we touch it, so you are never surprised by an invoice. This is the main reason people stay on a plan rather than buying outright, because the thing keeps up with the business.

Yes. We are fully remote and we have clients in several provinces. Everything happens over WhatsApp, email and video calls, and it works fine. Nobody has ever needed us to drive out.

They are real. What changes a quote is scope, not sales tactics. If you tell us you need a five page website and then need fifteen pages and a booking system, the price moves and we will show you exactly why. Nothing gets added quietly.

It is 1.06% a month on the amount you still owe, exactly the way a vehicle or a bond works. There is no initiation fee, no monthly admin fee and no penalty for settling early.

The rate is set so that spreading the cost can never add more than 21% to the price of the software in total. Over one year it works out at about 7%, over two years about 14%, and over three years, which is the longest plan we offer, about 21%. That is a ceiling, not a target, so most quotes come in well under it.

Because it is charged on what is left, it shrinks every month and stops entirely the day you finish. A bigger deposit or a bigger monthly means fewer months and a smaller total. Hosting is not hidden inside it, it is the separate monthly line that stays the same before and after you own it. The last payment is reduced so you land exactly on the total shown.

Because paying over time with a charge for the deferral is regulated in South Africa under the National Credit Act, and the rules are different depending on who is buying. Keeping payment plans to registered businesses, so a Pty Ltd, CC or registered trust, keeps the arrangement clean and straightforward for both of us.

If you trade in your own name, nothing is lost. The pay once price is exactly the same and is the cheaper option anyway. We can also point you at a registered credit provider if you would rather spread the cost.
