Custom websites, apps and software. Built for you.

• Bloemfontein based: South African team, South African hours
• Fixed, itemised quotes: You approve every line before we build
• Live preview from day one: Watch it get built, not a status email
• You own the code: No lock-in, no proprietary black box

Five things. One team. One system underneath.

Pick the one that sounds like you. The same people build all five on the same stack, so the simple version can grow into the serious one without starting again with somebody new.

• Websites — A site built to your brand, not bought as a template. — Designed from scratch, fast on a phone, and written to be found — with the meta, the structured data and the share cards done properly.
  • Designed and written for your business
  • On-page SEO and per-page meta
  • Forms that email you the second they land
  • Hosting, SSL, backups and edits on a plan
• CMS — You change the words. No developer, no ticket, no invoice. — Every site ships with an admin you can actually use — pages, posts, images, prices, team members. Change it and it is live.
  • Edit pages, posts and images yourself
  • A media library with captions and alt text
  • Roles, so staff only see their part
  • Drafts and preview before anything goes live
• Apps — One build, both stores, and the same data as the website. — iOS and Android from a single codebase, installed from the store or straight to the home screen — with push, offline handling and device features.
  • One codebase, App Store and Play Store
  • Push notifications and offline use
  • Submission and releases handled for you
  • Shares the same login and database
• Software — The workflow you already run, minus the spreadsheet. — Quoting, jobs, stock, bookings, approvals — the thing your business does all day, built as real software behind a login instead of a shared file.
  • Roles and permissions enforced on the server
  • Reporting, exports and an audit trail
  • Documents generated as real PDFs
  • Built around your process, not a product’s
• Systems — Everything joined up, so nothing gets retyped. — Website, app, admin, payments, email and the tools you already pay for — connected, with one source of truth in the middle.
  • Card payments, invoicing and recurring billing
  • Maps, delivery zones and nearest-branch search
  • AI search over your own documents
  • APIs and webhooks into what you already run

Everything we build · Spec your project

Ten years of agency industry experience, condensed into a unified software update.

Every agency runs the same gauntlet: quotes in one tool, jobs in another, invoices in a third, and the client left guessing between them. We ran it for a decade. Then we stopped patching and wrote the whole thing down as one system — spec to quote to build to invoice to support, with the client and the partner sitting inside it instead of emailing about it.

Building the industry one software update at a time.

What a decade in the industry taught us

Your team uses it. Your customers use it. You watch all of it.

The dashboard is one door into your system. Your staff get the version that fits in a pocket, your customers get the part that faces them, and you get the numbers — same data, same login, nothing retyped between them.

• You — The dashboard: jobs, money, stock, staff — today, not last month.
• Your team — The app on site: their list, their photos, their sign-off, offline if the signal drops.
• Your customers — The site, the shop, the booking form — writing straight into the same system.
• 1010 Collective — Your portal with us: quotes to accept, invoices to pay, a support thread that stays put.

Want to try something? Fork your own site and break the copy.

Your project lives on MegaPixel — the AI coding platform we build everything on. Subscribe and you get in yourself: duplicate your live site into a private sandbox, build the idea, and ship it back when it earns its place. The live one never moves while you play.

• 01 Your live site (Production) — Running, taking real customers, untouched by any of this.
• 02 Fork it (Sandbox) — One click duplicates the whole project — code, content and data — into your own sandbox.
• 03 Build the idea (Experiment) — Try the new checkout, the booking flow, the AI search. Break it. Nobody sees it but you.
• Merge back what works. — When the experiment earns its place, we ship it into the live build — reviewed, tested and dated. What didn’t work costs you nothing but an afternoon.

• And from the same project: artifacts. Proposals, company profiles, logo and brand packs, reports — generated from what is already inside your build, read-only, without touching what is running.

How we build

Spec to live, on a clock.

Most agencies answer "how long will it take?" with a shrug and a range. We put a number on every stage, and we start the clock the moment you do.

• 01 Spec it — 5 minutes — Fill in the spec form — plain language, no jargon. We turn it into a proper scope.
• 02 Quote — 1010 minutes (about 17 hours) — A fixed, itemised quote and written proposal land in your portal. No hourly guessing games.
• 03 MVP preview — 1010 minutes (about 17 hours) — Approve and pay the deposit, and a clickable preview of the real thing is in front of you.
• 04 Live — 10 days 10 hours (two working weeks) — Refining, integrating, securing and hardening it for launch — the keys are yours, and the loop begins.

• The clock runs on our side of the work. It pauses while we are waiting on you for information, media, content or access to a third-party system — and anything that depends on somebody else, like an app store review or a payment gateway approval, runs on their clock, not ours.

Know what it costs before you call.

The standard packages are being updated. Tell us the shape of your project on the spec form and we will quote it properly.
