02—The studio
We are a web, app and AI development studio based in Johannesburg, South Africa. We build the websites, stores, apps, software and AI automations that help businesses grow, and we do it with fixed quotes, plain language and code you own.

01—Why we exist
Nayvee Tech started in 2022 as a team of one. Nigel was building websites for local businesses and kept hearing the same story: a site that took six months, an app that never shipped, an agency that disappeared after the invoice cleared. The studio was started to be the opposite of that.
We are engineers first. More than 80 projects later, the people who scope your project are still the people who build it. We quote a fixed price, put a staging link in your hands from the first week, and hand over source code and documentation that any developer can maintain. Then we stay on: most clients keep us for hosting, email, Google Ads and the next feature.
We build for our own clients and, quietly, for other agencies who bring us their ideas to make real. Two of the products on this site, ZAMenu and ZADialer, are ours. The case studies are only the recent work we can show; behind them sit learning platforms, AI agents for WhatsApp and social inboxes, an AI video editor, CRMs, dashboards, Google Sheets integrations and ad campaigns we cannot name. Our tagline is not a slogan. When you bring us an idea, a problem or a napkin sketch, the answer is the same: we code it.
02—What we believe
- 01
Ship, then improve
A working product in weeks beats a perfect plan in months. We launch early and improve it with real users.
- 02
Plain language
No jargon in meetings and no surprises on invoices. You always know what is being built, why, and what it costs.
- 03
Built to last
Clean code, tests, documentation and a proper hand-over. Any competent developer can pick it up after us.
- 04
Your outcome is the metric
We measure ourselves on enquiries, orders and hours saved, not on features shipped or hours billed.
03—How we work
The same process on every project, whether it is a landing page or a platform. You always know what happens next.
- 01Scope & quote
Discover
A short workshop to understand your business, your users and what success looks like. You leave with a written scope, a fixed quote and a launch date.

Wireframes first, then high-fidelity designs you can click through on your phone. Nothing is built until you have approved how it looks and how it works.

Build
Senior engineers build in weekly sprints on a staging link you can open at any time. You see progress, not promises, and you can change course early.

04—Who you will work with
No account managers between you and the people doing the work. Every project gets the roles below, scaled to its size.
- 01
Product lead
Runs discovery, writes the scope and stays your single point of contact from quote to launch.
- 02
Designer
Turns the scope into wireframes and clickable prototypes you approve before anything is built.
- 03
Engineers
Senior full-stack developers who build in weekly sprints and ship to a staging link you can open any time.
- 04
AI engineer
Designs prompts, guardrails and evaluations so AI features answer correctly and hand over when unsure.
- 05
Support
Monitoring, updates and the quick fixes after launch, on a retainer or as needed.
- 06
You
You see every design, every demo and every invoice before it happens. No surprises, ever.
