FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions and
straight answers.

Everything clients usually ask before starting a project with Real Tech Solutions, grouped by topic.

GENERAL

Working with
Real Tech Solutions.

What services does Real Tech Solutions offer?

Web development, SaaS engineering, cloud and DevOps, automation and AI, technical consulting, maintenance and support, networks, hardware and IT support, and design and digital services. We also run an online Express Store for computer hardware and accessories.

Where is Real Tech Solutions based, and who do you work with?

We are based in South Africa and work with individuals, businesses and organisations in South Africa and in other countries. Software, cloud, AI and consulting work is delivered remotely, so location is not a barrier.

Can you improve an existing website or system?

Yes. Share what you have, what is getting in the way and what you would like to improve. We can recommend a review, targeted improvements or a broader rebuild.

How do we get started?

Send us a message through the contact form, WhatsApp, email or phone with your goals, current setup and preferred timing. We discuss the need and a sensible starting point before agreeing the scope.

Do you provide maintenance after launch?

Yes. Maintenance and support are scoped around your system. Coverage, response targets and any after-hours support are agreed in a support plan.

Can you help us choose the right technology?

Our consulting service covers technical strategy, architecture, performance and technology roadmaps. We weigh your goals, budget, current tools and future needs when comparing options.

How much does a project cost?

Cost depends on scope. After a short conversation about what you need, we provide a written scope and quote so you know what is included before work starts.

WEBSITES AND WEB APPLICATIONS

Web Development

About this service
Can you redesign or rebuild my existing website?

Yes. Send us the current site and tell us what is not working, whether that is speed, design, enquiries or how hard it is to update. We can recommend targeted improvements or a full rebuild.

Do you build online stores?

Yes. We build e-commerce storefronts with product catalogues, carts and checkout integrations, and we can connect them to payment providers and the tools you already use.

Will I be able to update the website myself?

Where you need it, we set up a content management system and walk your team through it at handover, so routine changes do not need a developer.

Is search engine optimisation included?

Every site we build includes technical SEO foundations: clean page structure, page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and fast loading. Ongoing content and marketing work can be scoped separately.

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND PLATFORMS

SaaS Engineering

About this service
Can you build a minimum viable product first?

Yes. We usually recommend starting with the smallest version that real users can test, then adding features in planned phases once you have feedback.

What is multi-tenant architecture?

It means one platform serves many customer organisations while keeping each one's data and users separate. We design the data model and access rules for this from the start when your product needs it.

Can the platform connect to our other systems?

Yes. We build APIs and integrations so your platform can exchange data with accounting, CRM, payment and other business systems.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND DELIVERY

Cloud & DevOps

About this service
Which cloud providers do you work with?

Our main focus is Amazon Web Services (AWS). If you already use another provider, tell us and we will confirm what we can support.

Can you move an existing application to the cloud?

Yes. We assess the current setup, plan the migration in stages and agree a rollback plan before anything changes in production.

Can you help reduce our cloud costs?

We review how resources are sized and used and recommend changes. Savings depend on your current setup, so we report findings before making changes.

WORKFLOWS AND AI TOOLS

Automation & AI

About this service
Can you build an AI chatbot for our website?

Yes. We build assistants that answer from your own approved content, collect enquiry details and hand conversations to your team, rather than giving generic answers.

Is our business data safe when using AI?

We scope what data each tool can access, which providers process it and where review steps are needed, and we document these choices with you before anything goes live.

Which tasks are worth automating first?

Usually the ones that are frequent, rule-based and time-consuming, such as data entry between systems, routine reports and enquiry routing. We help you list and rank them.

TECHNICAL STRATEGY

Consulting

About this service
Do we have to use you for the build after a consultation?

No. The roadmap and recommendations are yours to use with any team. If you want us to deliver the work, we can scope that separately.

Can you review a system another company built?

Yes. We review architecture, code quality, hosting, security and performance, and report what to keep, fix or replace.

CARE AFTER LAUNCH

Maintenance & Support

About this service
Can you support a website or system you did not build?

Yes. We start with a review of the current setup so we understand it before taking responsibility for support.

Do you offer 24/7 support?

After-hours and 24/7 cover can be included in a support plan. The hours, response targets and escalation route are agreed in writing.

EVERYDAY TECHNOLOGY

Networks, Hardware & IT Support

About this service
Do you come on site?

On-site support depends on where you are. Contact us with your location and we will confirm whether we can visit or help remotely.

Can you recover data from a damaged drive?

Tell us what happened to the drive. We will assess whether recovery is possible and explain the options before any work starts.

Can you help me choose computer parts?

Yes. We can check compatibility and recommend components, and you can browse parts through the Real Tech Solutions Express Store.

BRAND AND DIGITAL DESIGN

Design & Digital Services

About this service
Can you design a logo and brand for a new business?

Yes. We design logos and the supporting identity, including colours, typography and templates, and supply files for print and digital use.

Do you design and build mobile apps?

Yes. We design app screens and user flows and can develop the application, often alongside a web platform or API.
