The Sitect Edge

Every service ships with AI baked in — not bolted on.

We don't run an "AI team" on the side. AI is the substrate every Sitect engagement runs on — from drafting your contract to monitoring your production app.

AI-drafted proposals & contracts

Drafter, our in-house agent, writes the first version of every quote and contract — reviewed by a human before it leaves the building.

Private RAG on your data

For knowledge-heavy projects we deploy isolated retrieval pipelines so your docs and customer data never leave your tenant.

WhatsApp + Instagram agents

Aria handles after-hours inbound on WhatsApp / Instagram. Escalates anything spicy to a real human within 4 hours.

Always-on revenue insights

Live dashboards spot anomalies — falling conversion, slipping invoices, churn risks — before they show up in your monthly board pack.

Approval gates on every action

Any AI action over R5k or that touches a client requires a human sign-off. Audit log is sacred — every action is replayable.

POPIA + cost ceilings

Every prompt is metered. AI spend is capped per month — we'll never burn through your budget on a runaway agent.

Why teams pick us

The agency we wish existed when we were the client.

Most SA agencies either charge for slide-decks or vanish after launch. Sitect is built differently — senior practitioners, transparent dashboards, and AI we ship to ourselves before we ship it to you.

Senior, end-to-end ownership

The person you meet in the discovery call is the person you'll WhatsApp at 9pm. No account-manager layer between you and the work.

We dog-food everything

Our own CRM, billing, proposals and inbox run on Sitect's tools. If it's not good enough for us, you don't get it.

Fixed-scope quotes — in writing

You'll never get a Friday-afternoon "small variation" invoice. Anything new gets re-scoped and re-signed.

SA-first, never SA-after

POPIA, ZAR, 15% VAT, Yoco / Payfast / Peach, SA English — all defaults, no opt-in needed.

Common questions

Things every smart buyer asks first

If your question isn't here, hit the chat in the bottom-right — Atlas answers most of them in under 60 seconds.

How do you price an engagement?
Every project is scoped before signing. You'll receive a written, fixed-price quote tied to specific deliverables, in ZAR including 15% VAT. Retainers are flat-monthly with a 3-month minimum and a 30-day exit clause after that. Hourly advisory is billed in 30-min increments.
What's the smallest engagement you'll take?
An AI Readiness Audit at R6,000 (one week, one deliverable) is the most common entry point. We're happy to do a single afternoon consultation at R600/hr if you just want a second opinion.
Who owns the code we pay you to write?
You do — outright, at handover. Source on your GitHub, infrastructure under your AWS account, domains in your registrar. We keep nothing locked behind us.
Do you do POPIA / compliance work?
Yes. Every Sitect build ships with POPIA-aware defaults — encrypted-at-rest data, audit logs, opt-in consent flows, and a documented Data Processing Record. We'll happily liaise with your Information Officer.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes a 30-day warranty against defects. Most clients move onto a small monthly retainer (from R5k/mo) for monitoring, security patches and small enhancements. You're never locked in — month-to-month after the first three.
Can you work with our existing dev team?
Often — we co-build with internal teams on bigger projects. We can run a Sitect pod alongside your engineers, or just supply senior reviewers for code reviews and architecture sessions.
Do you do equity-for-build deals?
Rarely, but yes — for early-stage founders with a strong commercial signal we'll consider a partial equity component (typically 20–40% of fees). Talk to us; we say no more than yes.
In their words

What South African founders say

Real teams, real outcomes. Names redacted only when the client asked us to.

"Sitect rebuilt our e-commerce store and added an AI assistant that now handles 60% of our customer queries. Conversion is up 38% and our support team finally sleeps at night."
