About CodeBakery

A small, developer-led practice.

CodeBakery is a boutique software consultancy based in Paarl, Cape Winelands. Every engagement is led and built by a senior developer who has shipped production software in your sector before. No offshore team. No junior translation layer. No project manager standing between you and the person writing the code.

01Why we don't publish a team page

Privacy by default. Introduction on request.

Some of our work is for clients who prefer not to be public about the systems we've built for them. We match their posture rather than blow up a marketing page for its own sake.

WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE

You won't find a team page or a logo wall here. You will find concrete descriptions of the work, sector-specific pain points we've solved before, and price brackets we'll stand behind in writing. The detail that matters for a buying decision is on the page; the names are saved for the call.

HOW WE INTRODUCE OURSELVES

On a 15-minute video call before you sign anything. That same call doubles as the start of the scoping conversation — no separate sales stage, no slide deck. You meet the senior developer who would actually build your project, and you decide from there.

02Before you sign anything

Three things you can ask for. Free.

These are the artefacts that should give you real confidence — far more than a marketing page ever could.

01 · Ask for Free

A redacted scope document

We'll send the scope document from a comparable past project, with the client's name and any commercially sensitive numbers removed. It shows you exactly how we frame problems, structure milestones, and write a price you can plan around.

Delivery · Same day PDF
02 · Ask for Free

A reference call

We'll set up a 20-minute call with a current or past client in your sector. You ask them what we got right, what we got wrong, and whether they'd hire us again. No script, no chaperone.

Delivery · Within a week Video
03 · Ask for Free

A written technical plan

Tell us the problem. We'll spend 30 to 90 minutes scoping it and send back a written plan — what we'd build, in what order, and roughly what it would cost. Yours to act on with us or without us.

Delivery · 1–3 business days PDF + call
03The promise either way

Fixed price. Scope-locked. Zero critical bugs at handover.

The same engagement promise applies whether you call us today or in six months. A written scope document, a single fixed price, milestone reviews you can click through, and a clean handover with documentation and credentials.
