Code Garden is a software studio with 13 years of engineering experience behind every build. We build custom software for SMEs, taking full ownership from discovery through to deployment and beyond. We're not a staffing agency. We're a technical partner.
Primarily small and medium businesses across any industry that need software built from scratch: internal operations tools, customer-facing platforms, or systems that automate manual processes. We work with clients in South Africa and internationally.
We start with a discovery session to understand your business goals and define scope. From there we produce a technical roadmap and proposal. Once approved, we build iteratively, keeping you informed at every milestone. After launch, we offer ongoing support and maintenance.
It depends on scope. A focused internal tool might take 6 to 10 weeks. A full customer-facing platform typically takes 3 to 6 months. We give you a realistic timeline in our proposal, and we stick to it.
