1010 Collective (Pty) Ltd

We build the software your business actually needs. That’s just the start.

Custom websites, apps and bespoke software — plus media and marketing through 1 Stop Media. Built fast on MegaPixel, our own AI platform, then kept in a loop with you: the live build becomes the source everything else is made from.

  • 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

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.

  • The quote is the bottleneck — Work is lost in the days between "sounds great" and a number. So the spec form feeds a real itemised quote in 1010 minutes.
  • Clients go quiet when they can’t see — Silence is not patience. Every client gets a portal: their jobs, quotes, invoices, statement and support thread, live.
  • Launch is where agencies leave — The handover is where value dies. We stay in the loop on the live build, and the build becomes the source everything else is made from.
  • The good people are already out there — Talent and relationships exist; the machine around them doesn’t. That is exactly what the partner ladder hands over.

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.

  • Full quote and proposal: 1010 minutes (about 17 hours) — from your spec landing — A fixed, itemised quote and a written proposal — every line priced, so you can see what to keep and what to drop.
  • Working MVP preview: 1010 minutes (about 17 hours) — from approval and deposit — Not a mock-up or a slide deck. A clickable preview of your actual product, running, that you can pull apart and give feedback on.
  • Live: 10 days & 10 hours (about 250 hours) — from your mvp preview — The real work: refining what you saw, wiring up integrations, securing and hardening it, and getting it launch-ready.
  • 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.

Launch is the beginning

Going live isn’t the finish line. It’s the first thread: client, agency and service partner keep iterating on the live build together, and the build becomes the source of truth MegaPixel makes further work from.

  • You — The client — Watch the live preview, approve quotes in your portal, raise tickets, request the next thing. Your feedback lands on the real product, not in a meeting summary.
  • 1010 + 1 Stop — The agency — Build and media in one team, iterating on the same live project — the landing page, the tracking and the campaign changed together, by people who talk to each other.
  • Service partners — The network — Partners log leads and full specs from their own portal and follow every referral through the same pipeline the work runs on.

What we build

  • Custom websites — Fast, mobile-first marketing sites that rank, convert and are genuinely easy to update.
  • Web applications — Dashboards, portals and booking systems — real software behind a login, built to your workflow.
  • Mobile apps — iOS and Android from one codebase, store submission and release management included.
  • Custom software — Line-of-business tools that replace the spreadsheet everyone is quietly fighting with.
  • E-commerce — Product catalogues, carts, South African payment gateways and an order admin you will actually use.
  • Hosting & support — Managed hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and a real person when something breaks.
