South African companies that outsource development usually pick between a local firm at local capacity and an offshore team behind an account manager. The second option is why so many projects here arrive late: questions pass through several hands before they reach the person who can act on the answer.
Written first, so nothing waits
Scope, decisions and progress are written down and readable whenever your day starts. Calls are booked when a call is faster than a paragraph.
POPIA, planned from the start
The data model is planned with GDPR principles and the POPIA conditions in mind. Purpose limitation, minimality, retention windows, subject access and deletion are architecture decisions, made once at the start rather than in a second pass. Designating an Information Officer and registering where required stay with you as the responsible party. The build is documented so you can evidence how personal information is actually handled rather than asserting it.
Where the data sits is decided up front
The hosting region for your project is fixed before the build and written into the contract. If one of your customers requires residency inside South Africa, that is a decision to take before the first table is created. Moving a live product's data later is a project of its own, and it is always more expensive than the conversation that would have avoided it.
The deal
- Takeover of an app your developer left behind from $10,500, a new First Version (MVP) from $27,800
- Fixed price in US dollars, scope in writing before the first line of code
- Market-ready app for iPhone and Android from one codebase, macOS native where it belongs
- Full handover of code, cloud accounts, store listings and documentation
- Built for intermittent connectivity where the use case calls for it
How the remote model works: remote app developer.
