Why we ask you to sign off at every step
Four sign-offs keep a software project honest. Here's what each one is for.
Software company · Durban, South Africa
We're a Durban software company. We build products of our own, and we build websites and business software for people who need theirs to work properly from the first day.
What we build
A website that earns its keep, and somebody looking after it.
Software shaped around how you already work, and our products wired into it.
Senior technology, architecture and security leadership, by the month.
Products
Use any of it as a tool, build on its API, or let us wire it into your systems.
How we work
Step 1
We meet, ask a lot of questions, and write down what we'll build, what we won't, the price and the date. Nothing starts until you agree.
✓ You sign off the brief.
Step 2
Before we write the real thing, you click through a working design of the main screens on your own phone and computer.
✓ You sign off the design.
Step 3
We build in short steps and put each one in front of you. You test it with your own information, and we fix what you find.
✓ You sign off that it's ready.
Step 4
We go live on the date we promised, train your team, hand over a plain guide, and stay on to look after it.
✓ You sign off go-live.

Five jobs a small business website should do, and a quick way to check whether yours does them.
Why it works
Most software projects go wrong in the same place: the gap between what was asked for and what was built. We close that gap by showing you working software early and often, and by asking you to sign off each step before we take the next one.
We run our own products too, so we feel the same pressures you do: customers who need answers, invoices that need paying, and systems that can't go down on a Friday afternoon.
