A small team that finishes things
WebNinja is a digital technology agency building websites, web applications, mobile apps and business systems for organisations that need software to actually work.
We started because good software was being sold badly
WebNinja began in 2014 after too many conversations with business owners who had paid for a website and received a brochure, or paid for a system and received a demo that never quite reached production.
The pattern was always the same. Nobody had asked what the software was supposed to achieve commercially, so nobody could tell whether it had. We decided to start every engagement with that question and let the technical decisions follow from the answer.
Today we build websites, web applications, mobile apps and business systems for organisations across Zimbabwe and beyond. We are still deliberately small, because the thing clients value most is being able to speak to the person who wrote the code.
Our mission
To give growing organisations software that measurably improves how they operate, built on technology they can maintain and afford, by people who explain their decisions in plain language.
Our vision
A region where a small business can commission serious software with the same confidence a large one does, and where nobody has to accept that a website is something you rebuild from scratch every three years.
Four things we will not trade away
Preparation over speed
The cheap way is to paint over mill scale and deliver tomorrow. We would rather blast it properly and deliver on Thursday.
Tell people the cheaper option
If DTF will do what you want for half the price of screens, we will say so, even though the screens bill better.
Behave well as a subcontractor
Work that comes from another workshop stays theirs. We do not approach their client afterwards.
Finish the job
A job is done when it fits, works and has been signed off on site, not when it leaves the workshop.
Most of our work comes from referrals
These are the reasons existing clients give when they recommend us.
Two trades, one order
Kit the crew and fabricate the site steel on the same job card, with one delivery and one invoice instead of chasing two suppliers.
We say when it is not worth it
If embroidery will pucker your fabric, or a lighter section will do the job, you hear it before you order rather than after.
Prepared properly, not just painted
Steel is blasted back to clean metal before coating. It costs a little more and lasts years longer, which is the whole point.
Your artwork stays on file
Screens, stitch files and colour references are kept, so next year's order matches this year's exactly.
The people who will actually do the work
No account managers between you and the person building your project.
Six stages, no surprises
Talk
Tell us what you need. A drawing, a photograph or a description is enough to start.
Measure
For steelwork we measure on site. For garments we take real sizes rather than guessing from a headcount.
Quote
A firm written price against a stated specification, with the lead time we can actually hold.
Sample
One printed garment or an approved shop drawing before anything goes into production.
Make
Printed, stitched, cut, welded and finished in the workshop, under cover and on a jig where it matters.
Deliver
Sorted, marked up and delivered in the order you need it, or installed by the people who made it.
Got a job for us? Let us quote it.
Send a drawing, a photograph, or just a description. You get a firm price, a lead time we can hold, and an honest word if there is a cheaper way to do it.
