We build software systems from the ground up. We also maintain these systems afterward.
How long does it take to build a new software system?
A typical project can take 6 months from start to finish. Other, more complex system development may be worked on over years. We will scope up a time frame that is suitable for your business. Often software system development is divided into different modules or phases, to make sure you go live with your system and most urgent functionality as soon as possible.
Which development platforms do you work with?
Our primary competence is developing on Laravel, WordPress, React and Node. These are the most common frameworks for building your own bespoke web system.
What information do we need from you to get started?
In an ideal scenario, you would have all the requirements for your new project sorted before contacting us, but don’t let that stop you. Some considerations you ought to think about include:
- System functionality (what do you need the system to do for you?)
- System budget (how much are you willing to spend?)
- Timeline requirements (when do you need the system by?)
- Number of users (how many of your staff will be users of the system?)
- Specific workflows (which specific workflows should this system replace?)
What else can you offer aside of the actual software development?
Aside from web and software development, we can help with the following:
- System hosting
- System back-up
- System maintenance (post-live)

I feel that wherever possible they have gone over and beyond in helping us to keep on top of the fast paced nature of the technology world.”
