Software Development · FAQs

Common questions about software development

What South African businesses ask us most often before starting software development with Black & Yellow.

What does software development include at Black & Yellow?
Web platforms, mobile apps, custom business software and cloud solutions — designed, built and supported by an experienced team using an agile, client-centric process. Every software development engagement is built around your business goals and integrates with the rest of our digital marketing services where it makes sense — from SEO and content creation to social media and lead generation.
How much does software development cost in South Africa?
Pricing for software development depends on scope, channels and how much creative is produced. Most South African SMEs invest from R8 000 – R25 000 per month for managed work, while project-based briefs are quoted on the deliverables. We share a fixed scope and price before any work starts — no open-ended retainers.
How long before we see results from software development?
For paid channels you'll typically see meaningful data inside 30 days. SEO, content creation and brand creation compound over 3 – 6 months. We report monthly so you can see momentum and reallocate budget early if a channel is outperforming. Pair this with an integrated digital strategy and results land faster.
Why work with Black & Yellow for software development?
We're a Johannesburg creative agency with 20+ years of work across brands like FNB, BMW, SodaStream and Lavazza. Software development sits inside a team that also owns web development, content creation and social media — so your campaigns inherit one consistent brand and one accountable point of contact.
