Which South Africa cities do you cover?

All 12 listed on this page, across 1 region. Coverage is remote rather than territorial — there is no travel radius, because there is no travel. If your town is not listed the answer is still yes; the list is for navigation, not a limit.

What currency will a South African client be invoiced in?

ZAR. Quotes, milestones and final invoices are all written in ZAR so you are never comparing a converted number against a local supplier's quote. On tax: VAT at 15%, reverse-charged on imported services.

How do you handle South African customer data?

Your customers' data sits under POPIA, the Protection of Personal Information Act. Sending it to a developer in Pakistan is a restricted transfer, and it is resolved by Section 72 of POPIA governs transfers abroad and the DPA records the lawful basis — published and pre-signed on this site before you enquire.

What payment methods can a South Africa checkout accept?

Stripe, PayFast, Yoco, Ozow for instant EFT, and SnapScan. Which combination is right depends on your basket size and your customers, and it is decided during scoping rather than defaulted to whatever the platform ships with.

What are your working hours from South Africa?

My day lands at 06:00–15:00 in your time, which is roughly 6 hours inside a normal working day. Enough for a reliable daily window rather than an overnight round trip on every question.

What is different about building for South Africa

Data cost and intermittent connectivity are real constraints for a large share of South African visitors, so page weight is a commercial metric here, not a vanity score. I build to a hard kilobyte budget on ZA projects.

All cities and towns by region

12 places across South Africa. Each page carries the same ZAR pricing and the same terms as above — tap any town for its own page. Coverage is remote, so a town missing from this list is still a town I can work with.

What I build for South African businesses

E-commerce website development I build online stores end to end — catalogue, cart, Stripe checkout, order emails and the technical SEO that gets them found. Six of the fifteen sites I have shipped are e-commerce builds, and every one of them takes real payments. From $150 · 7 days Technical SEO audits and implementation Most SEO audits hand you a 60-page document and an invoice. I am a developer first, so I find the problems and then fix them in the codebase — crawlability, indexation, schema, Core Web Vitals, and whether AI answer engines can read your site at all. From $80 · 3 days Business website development Most small business websites fail at one job: turning a stranger who searched for your service into a phone call. I build the version that does — three days, mobile-first, live on your own hosting, with the enquiry form tested before anybody sees it. From $80 · 3 days Custom website development A template is the right answer more often than developers like to admit. This page is about the times it is not — when the thing your business does has a shape no theme author anticipated, and forcing it into one costs more in permanent workarounds than building it properly would have cost once. From $200 · 10 days Web application development A website presents information. An application does work — it holds state, enforces rules, and produces something at the end. Most businesses that need the second one are running it on a spreadsheet nobody is allowed to sort, and paying for that in errors rather than in software. From $200 · 10 days
