What we do
We would rather do a short list of things well than a long list badly. If you need something outside this, we will tell you straight — and point you to someone who does it better.
Business sites, landing pages and online brochures that load quickly, work properly on a phone and get found on Google. Standards-based and yours to own — not rented back to you every month.
Internal tools, client portals, dashboards, booking and quoting systems. For when the off-the-shelf product almost fits, but the gap is costing you hours every week.
Domain registration, business email, SSL certificates, hosting, backups — and the unglamorous maintenance that keeps it all running. One place to go when something breaks.
Getting your existing systems to talk to each other, so nobody is retyping the same data into three places. Often the cheapest improvement a business can make.
Recent work
BondMakers Home LoansBond origination & home finance
BondMakers submit a buyer’s application to every major South African bank. The site needed to make that free service believable, pre-qualify buyers in a couple of minutes, and answer the money questions before anyone picks up the phone.
Kosmos Village AssociationNon-profit residents’ association
The association needed a site owners would actually use — membership and fees, the rules on zoning and land use, AGM notices and a proper document library — that a volunteer committee could keep up to date without calling a developer.
Pricing
These are our starting points. Every project gets an itemised quote in writing before any work begins — and the number does not move unless the scope does.
For sole traders and new businesses that need a professional presence, quickly.

Custom software
Web apps, client portals, internal tools, dashboards and automations, built around how your business really works. Because no two systems are alike, we scope it with you first, then give you a fixed quote.
Prices are once-off and in South African rand. Hosting, domain registration and ongoing support are quoted separately, so you only pay for what you use.
In every build
Then scaled up for desktop — because that is where most of your visitors are.
Optimised images, no bloated page builders, and caching set up properly.
Page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and structured data, configured from day one.
SSL, spam-protected forms and sensible server settings on every site.
Code, content and domain in your name. No lock-in and no licence fees to us.
A walkthrough and plain-English notes, so you are never stuck waiting for us.
How we work
The thing people dread about hiring a developer is the open-ended bill. This is how we avoid it.
A proper conversation about what you actually need — not a sales pitch. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need us at all, and we will say so.
Itemised and in writing, with the scope and exclusions spelled out. You know the number before any work starts.
You see working previews early and often, so there are no surprises at the end. Feedback is expected, not resented.
Code, domain, hosting and logins, handed over in your name. If you ever want to work with someone else, nothing is held hostage.
About
Simplicity Technologies is a small South African software company. Small means you deal directly with the person designing and building your project — no account managers, no ticket queues, and nobody passing you along.
We started the company in 2026 on a simple idea: most businesses don’t need more technology, they need technology that works, and someone who takes the trouble to explain it. So we build with plain, standard tools that any competent developer can pick up, we write quotes you can actually read, and we hand everything over in your name.
You can see how that works in practice in our Kosmos Village Association case study — a practical, local website that a volunteer committee now runs themselves.
We work remotely with businesses anywhere in South Africa — over email and video calls, with working previews you can open from wherever you are.
Questions
Our websites start at R3 000 for a one-page site, R6 500 for a site of up to five pages that you can edit yourself, and R12 000 for larger, fully custom builds. You get an itemised, fixed quote in writing before we start, so the price you agree to is the price you pay.
Custom software is priced on what is required. We start with a free conversation to understand the problem, then give you a written scope and a fixed quote. Larger systems can be built — and paid for — in stages, so you see progress before committing to the next step.
It depends on the size of the project and how quickly the content — text, photos, logos — comes together. Your quote includes a realistic timeline, and you will see working previews along the way rather than waiting for a big reveal.
Yes. Business and Growth websites include a simple content editor, so you can change text, photos and notices without touching any code. It can be added to a Starter site too, or we can make small changes for you.
You do — the code, the content, the domain and the hosting account. If you ever want to move to another developer, everything is handed over. Nothing is held hostage.
We can register your domain, set up business email and host the site, or work with a host you already have. Either way, the accounts are in your name. Hosting and domains are quoted separately from the website itself.
No. We work remotely with clients anywhere in South Africa, over email and video calls. You get working previews as we build, so you can follow progress from wherever you are.
You get a walkthrough and plain-English notes on how everything works. After that we are available for changes, updates and support whenever you need them.
