Build the system your business actually needs.
Web apps, portals, APIs, integrations, dashboards, automation and internal software for problems that off-the-shelf tools cannot solve cleanly.
When standard software keeps forcing workarounds.
Start with the business problem, not the technology.
Custom development should solve a real operational gap. If a simpler existing tool can do the job, that is often the better answer.
Our process does not fit off-the-shelf software.
Build an internal tool, portal or workflow around the way the business actually operates.
Discuss My Software Project →Our systems should share information automatically.
Connect APIs, databases, websites, CRM, POS, accounting and other supported systems.
Discuss My Software Project →We already have software that needs a new developer.
Existing codebases can be reviewed, stabilised, maintained or extended before responsibility is taken over.
Discuss My Software Project →Custom systems around real business workflows.
The stack follows the job. The common project types below remain part of the service.
Web Applications & Portals
Internal tools, customer portals and browser-based business systems.
APIs & Integrations
Connect existing systems so data and actions do not need to be copied manually.
CRM & Database Systems
Purpose-built systems for leads, customers, records and internal processes.
Dashboards & Reporting
Bring POS, accounting, CRM, website or database information into useful views.
WordPress / WooCommerce Extensions
Custom plugins and functionality where existing tools do not fit.
Automation & Data Pipelines
Scheduled data movement, repetitive workflow automation and ETL-style jobs.
Karodias: custom automation around an established business process.
Instead of replacing a useful internal system, Dsign built around it — processing complex catalogue data, handling thousands of products and automating image preparation for the website.
Custom software should be scoped before it is priced.
There is no useful Bronze/Silver/Gold package for a system that does not exist yet. The first step is a short fit call, then paid discovery only where the project needs deeper technical definition.
From business problem to scoped build.
The process removes guesswork before development starts.
Explain the problem
What is happening now, who uses the process and where the friction is.
Fit check
We decide whether custom software is sensible or a simpler tool may be better.
Discovery
For complex work, map requirements, systems, data, permissions and risks.
Build & test
Develop against the agreed scope and validate the important workflows.
Launch & support
Handover the system and continue maintenance where an ongoing scope is needed.
White-label development when your client needs more than your team can build.
You keep the client relationship. Dsign provides development capacity behind the scenes under an agreed communication, NDA and delivery structure.
What businesses usually want to know before scoping software.
Custom development is quoted around a defined scope. For projects that need deeper technical thinking before a reliable quote can be produced, technical discovery starts from R1,500.
Yes. An NDA can be used before sensitive business logic, internal processes or project information is shared.
Yes, subject to a review of the codebase, hosting, dependencies, integrations and current issues before ongoing responsibility is agreed.
It depends on scope. A small integration and a multi-user business application are very different projects. The timeline is defined once enough requirements are understood.
Maintenance and support can continue after launch where required. Optional ongoing support starts from R1,500/month depending on the system and support scope.
The business problem, who currently handles it, the existing systems involved and the result you want are enough for the first fit call.
Describe the business problem before talking about features.
Tell us what the team is doing now, what is not working and which systems are involved. We can tell you whether custom software, an integration, automation or a simpler existing tool is the sensible next step.

Describe the problem and the current systems. That is enough for the first fit check.
