When Shopify isn�t the right answer.

Shopify is a great default. It�s not always the right call. We help SA brands extend Shopify with custom logic, go headless with Next.js, or move to an owned stack when scale and margin demand it — honest trade-off advice included.

How we work with you in South Africa

Two clear offerings. No fluff, no oversold dashboards — just engineers and operators you can plug into your team on a retainer or by the project.

Full-stack software engineering

Senior engineers building and maintaining real production systems — web apps, APIs, internal tools and integrations. Embedded with your team or delivering as a small squad.

  • React, Next.js & TypeScript front-ends
  • Node.js & REST/GraphQL APIs
  • PostgreSQL, MongoDB & data modelling
  • Third-party & payment integrations
  • Code review, refactors & tech debt cleanup

Industries we focus on in South Africa

We pick engagements where we can actually move the needle — small to mid-sized teams that need senior help, fast.

  • D2C brands outgrowing Shopify
  • B2B catalogues with complex pricing
  • Subscription & membership
  • Multi-region storefronts
  • Headless Shopify on Next.js

Engagement models

Hire us the way that fits — no long lock-ins, no minimum seat counts.

Monthly support retainer

A set number of senior hours per month for ongoing DevOps and engineering support. Roll-over hours, predictable cost.

Project delivery

Fixed scope or T&M for a defined piece of work — a migration, a new service, a rebuild — delivered as a small squad.

Embedded engineer

A senior engineer or DevOps resource working inside your team, in your tooling, with your standups.

Common questions

Are you anti-Shopify?
Not at all. For most stores Shopify is the right tool. We tell you when staying, extending or leaving makes more sense — and we've done all three.
