Zulu Code is a design and engineering studio. We make websites, apps and business systems for companies around the world, and we run products of our own.
Booking marketplace for iOS, Android and the web

We also build websites for clients. See website prices
Websites have fixed starting prices. Apps and software are scoped with you on a free call and quoted in writing before we start.
Fast, search-friendly sites, hand-built rather than dragged together in a page builder: responsive, accessible to WCAG AA, with a two-second load target and free SSL. Every website includes three months of updates after launch.
Research, wireframes and finished screens you approve before anything is built. You keep the Figma source files, the design system and a clickable prototype.
iOS, Android and web from one codebase in Flutter or React Native: booking platforms like CutQ, ride sharing, property and tenant management, access control, invoicing and management dashboards.
Dashboards, workflow automation, APIs and AI assistants, built around how your business actually works once we have audited it. You own the code, the database and the hosting.
Managed hosting on AWS Cape Town behind Cloudflare: a free .co.za domain for the first year, SSL, email, daily backups kept for 30 days, a 99.9% uptime SLA and monitoring around the clock. Live in under 48 hours.
In the first week we agree goals, budget, scope and timeline in writing.
Wireframes, then finished screens you approve before anything is built.
We work in two-week sprints and show you working software at the end of each one.
We launch, monitor hosted sites around the clock and keep supporting what we built.
