What practical solution does your business need?
Pick one. Websites go to instant fixed pricing. Small apps start with a paid Planning Blueprint (not the build).
The 3 SFDS Pillars
We intentionally avoid complex enterprise platforms and speculative apps. We focus purely on high-utility tools within our proven scope.
Websites & Stores
Transparent ZARFast brochure sites, booking websites and online stores connected to your own payment account (Yoco suggested).
Business Apps
App templates from R6,950Simple, purpose-built mobile and web tools that replace paper forms, eliminate spreadsheet friction, and speed up staff work.
Built on our proven template, customised to your brand
We don't build large business systems
We build small apps and tools for small businesses, from our own templates. We do not take on large, complex business systems, such as:
The Customer Owns All Infrastructure & Accounts. Always.
SFDS never holds your website hostage or hides recurring software bills behind inflated markups. You own every account directly; we build, configure, and integrate it safely.
Direct 1-grid Hosting
We guide you to open your own 1-grid account via our disclosed affiliate link. You pay 1-grid directly. You hold the keys to your website and hosting. Already have hosting? We can build on it if it runs PHP 8.1 or newer with free SSL (https), and you give us Plesk or cPanel access and FTP or SSH access, plus database access if your site needs one.
Your Own Payment Account
Store payments settle from your own Yoco, PayFast or other provider account straight into your business bank account. SFDS never handles your customers’ money.
Client-Owned APIs & AI
If your app requires SMS gateways, AI APIs, or app-store accounts, the subscription is directly in your company name. Zero surprise markup risk.
