[ The difference ]
We're not just a design studio. We're engineers, researchers, and precision-obsessed thinkers who build with purpose.
What kind of brands does Dev404 work with?
Dev404 works with independent brands, creative studios, product businesses, non-profits, consultants, start-ups, and established companies that care about design quality and digital credibility.
How long does a typical project take?
A focused page can usually be completed in 5 to 10 business days if the content is ready. A premium build usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. A custom platform can take 4 to 12+ weeks depending on complexity.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. Dev404 is based in South Africa and can work remotely through structured calls, shared documents, design reviews, and staged delivery checkpoints.
Can we start with a smaller project to test the collaboration?
Yes. A landing page, brand audit, Shopify diagnostic, or creative direction sprint can be used as a focused starting point before a larger build.
What does your onboarding process look like?
Onboarding starts with an enquiry. We review your goals, current brand or website, timeline, budget range, and required support. If there is a fit, we move into discovery and define the first milestone.
