Choose the application capacity that fits your usage.
Lite and Standard applications can use the same core technology and custom features. The difference is expected usage: active users, API calls, storage, traffic, automation and the cloud resources required to run the application reliably.
INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA DESIGN COSTEvery managed web app includes a professional business website design.That means the Lite plan from R400/month already includes your web app + website design.

UPTIME GUARANTEE
Built to stay online. Backed by our uptime guarantee.
We aim for at least 99.99% monthly availability. When an Optiact-controlled server-side issue causes downtime, we take responsibility with a discount on the following month’s affected package fee.
Both managed application types can support the same business features. The classification helps ensure pricing reflects the actual cost of running the application based on users, API activity, storage, traffic and infrastructure demand.

01What does Optiact build?
Optiact builds professional websites and custom web apps for small businesses. Our websites help your business look credible online, while our web apps help you manage orders, bookings, clients, payments, staff tasks, messages, dashboards, and daily admin in one place.
02How is a web app different from a normal website?
A website mostly shows information. A web app lets customers, staff, or owners take action — such as booking, ordering, logging in, uploading files, making payments, viewing dashboards, or sending updates.
03What types of businesses can use Optiact?
Optiact can build systems for food sellers, salons, schools, daycare centres, tutors, cleaning services, small retailers, consultants, community organisations, and service businesses.
04Do you only build from templates?
No. Every Optiact website and web app is custom-built around the specific needs of your business. We use best-practice patterns as a strong foundation, but the final solution is designed around your workflow, goals, services, customers, and daily operations.
05How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on the features, number of users, integrations, support needs, and complexity of the workflow. Start with a free consultation so we can understand what your business needs.
06Why is Optiact subscription-based?
Optiact is subscription-based because we do more than just build and leave. Your website or web app needs hosting, maintenance, security, updates, support, backups, and improvements over time. The subscription makes it easier for small businesses to launch professionally without a large once-off development fee.
07Is it a long-term contract?
Optiact works on a month-to-month subscription basis with no long-term contracts. This gives your business flexibility while keeping your website or web app hosted, maintained, supported, and updated.
08How long does it take to build a website or web app?
Websites usually take 5–7 working days from design to going live, although complex sites may take longer. Custom web apps usually take around 14–21 working days, depending on features, workflows, integrations, testing, and overall complexity.
