02 — SELECTED WORK
A club, a product business, and a chamber — different problems, same process.
CLIENT BUILD · BOOKING & PAYMENTS

Open the live club
CLIENT BUILD · PRODUCT WEBSITE
LIVEPS3A resurfaces tennis, padel and netball courts. The site shows the work at its best: a video gallery, a colour configurator for surfaces, and a lead engine that scores every enquiry and follows up automatically.
CLIENT BUILD · DIRECTORY & REGISTRATION
STAGINGA searchable business directory, a membership registration flow, and an admin desk for the chamber — built on a database that imports and maintains the town’s business records.
2,717 businesses listed · 10 sectors · 41 towns and suburbs

04 — CAPABILITIES
Everything below is something we have built and shipped, not a service line we borrowed from a deck.
Marketing sites, product pages and enquiry capture that fit how you actually sell.
Let people book, join and pay themselves. You keep the admin view.
Searchable directories, clean business records, and the tools to maintain them.
Answer the phone and the messages when you can’t. Qualify, book, hand over to a person.
Stop copying between spreadsheets, inboxes and booking systems.
A measured accessibility scan: what was tested, what it found. No score, no ‘compliant’ claims.
BUILT ON CLOUDFLARE
Sites served from a global network — fast for visitors, cheap to run, no server to babysit.
05 — SYSTEMS
25+ SERVICES WIRED
A missed call becomes a booked job. A quote becomes a payment. A brief becomes a film. The value is in the wiring between your tools — and we build that wiring ourselves.

THE INTERNAL MACHINE
We keep the business logic in our own code. A carrier, a model or a payment processor is a part we can swap without rebuilding the business.
See the full systems audit06 — PROCESS
We start with the business, not the website. What costs you time? What do customers keep asking?
A working slice you can click, early. Not a mockup.
Phone, tablet, slow connection — the things real customers use.
Deployed, documented, handed over. Ongoing support if you want it.
Most builds run two to six weeks. Fixed scope, fixed price, quoted before we start.
07 — THE LEDGER
Every build we can show, in order. We’ve included the retired ones — a portfolio that only shows wins isn’t a record.

08 — ABOUT
ZuluWorks is Lee Normand, building from Knysna on South Africa’s Garden Route, with Bertus on the ground in Florida and Hermes — our always-on AI build system — doing the heavy lifting on code, testing and deployment. Small team, short lines, real deadlines.
We build in South Africa and the United States, mostly for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads but don’t want to hire a department to fix it. Every project on this page was designed, built and deployed by the team. Nothing here is a mockup.

Tell us what’s slowing the business down. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can fix it, what it would cost, and how long it takes.
