Questions before you brief us.
I want to build something. Where do I start?
Pick what you want to build, or skip straight to a 5 minute brief. We reply within one business day with questions, a path and a budget band. No pressure to hire.
Are you a marketplace like Bark?
No. Bark sends your brief to several providers. Smart Macmane is the studio. You talk to the people who will design and build the product.
What should I look for in a software development partner?
Look for a team that can shape the product, not only write code. You want senior engineers, clear delivery, and a studio that stays after launch. Smart Macmane was founded in 2015 in Bloemfontein and works as a long term software development partner for web, mobile, AI and custom systems.
Do you work with clients outside South Africa?
Yes. We are based in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and we build for teams across Africa, Europe, the UK, the US and the rest of the world. Delivery is remote first, in English, with overlap across major time zones.
How long does it take to build custom software or an app?
A focused first version often ships in weeks, not months. Timeline depends on scope, integrations and how quickly decisions get made. After a short brief we propose a realistic path, a first milestone and what you will see working.
