Cape Town developer,
building for SA business.
14+ years writing code. Fixed quotes, realistic timelines, no nonsense.
The short version
I'm Jacques - a Cape Town-based full-stack developer with 14+ years of experience building websites, custom web apps and mobile apps for businesses of every size.
DMX Designs exists because I got tired of seeing South African business owners stuck between two bad options: cheap template-builders that never quite fit, or big agencies that charge fortunes for the same work. I do the actual development myself - no middlemen, no outsourcing, no surprises on the invoice.
I work with law firms, medical practices, restaurants, estate agents, logistics companies, tradesmen - basically any South African business that needs a proper online presence or a custom tool built around how they actually run their operation.
Build once. Build properly.
Every project I take on is built with the same mindset: it should load fast, look great on phones, be easy to update, and still be running smoothly three years from now.
That means modern frameworks, clean code, proper hosting, and no lock-in. If we ever stop working together, everything is yours - code, domain, database, everything.
How I work
Fixed quotes
You get a clear, upfront price before anything starts - no surprise invoices.
Realistic timelines
I only commit to dates I can hit, and I keep you updated throughout.
Clean, modern builds
Fast sites that look great on phones and don't fall apart six months later.
You own it
Your code, your domain, your hosting - nothing locked behind a proprietary platform.
SA-based & contactable
Cape Town-based, same time zone, reachable on WhatsApp or email.
Post-launch support
Websites and apps aren't 'done' on launch day - I offer ongoing retainers too.
