03 Digital Health Check
I review speed, mobile experience, accessibility, SEO fundamentals, UX, security configuration, hosting architecture, outdated dependencies, deployment, analytics and technical debt.
You get a practical view of what matters, why it matters and what to improve first.
04Building is only the start
Website and app projects can use an upfront build fee, monthly build payments with care, or once-off self-hosted delivery. We agree the scope, payment schedule and outcome first.
Compare launch packages on the pricing page.CATDOG™-hosted or managed solutions include paid monthly care in the package’s recurring amount. Self-hosted, self-managed delivery has no compulsory monthly CATDOG™ fee; you or your provider take over ongoing operations and costs.
Hosting scope, support hours and change allowances are agreed in your quote.Within the agreed scope: Maintenance · Content changes · Monitoring · Bug fixes · Deployments · Dependency upgrades · Reporting · Troubleshooting · Small enhancements · Infrastructure management
05How we work
06 Why CatDog
I’m Malan van Wyk, the engineer behind CatDog. I bring software, cloud, data and production experience to the same conversation.
Meet the person behind CatDog ↗The person discussing the problem is also deeply involved in designing and solving it.
Development, hosting, deployment, monitoring, data and integration are parts of the same system.
Technology earns its place by solving the problem and remaining maintainable.
You do not need to become the system administrator after delivery.
Decisions explained in terms that make sense to the person paying for and using the system.
07 Modern tools. Deliberate decisions.
It has never been easier to generate code, create a website or experiment with an idea. Operating it still needs ownership.
Someone must decide how it works, where it runs, who can access it, how data is protected, how failures are handled and how the system is monitored, maintained and improved.
Use AI where it helps.If you would rather spend your time running your business, give the technical problem to CatDog.

Yes. Paid care covers the agreed supported components, hosting allowance, maintenance and any included change time. Support hours and boundaries are set in your quote; there is no unlimited or 24/7 support promise.

See the Pricing page for launch packages: Build + Managed Care, Monthly Build + Care, and once-off Self-Hosted delivery. Monthly build payments have an initial term; only care remains after the build schedule is completed. One-off technical jobs do not automatically create a subscription. We confirm scope and the full quote before work starts.
