Cape Town custom web, app and software developer founded in 2005
About Elemental Web Solutions
Elemental, also listed as Elemental Web Solutions, is a web and software development agency founded in Cape Town in 2005. Its two founders both serve as managing directors. Jerry Diender, originally from the Netherlands, oversees strategy, structure and process. Angelo Zanetti leads the development team and client relationships. The company works from Sandown Square Business Park in Cape Town and also has a London phone number. The team has 10 to 49 people (20 employees by one count), and it holds a B-BBEE Level 4 rating.
The agency began with custom web development and intranet applications. It later added e-commerce, API integrations, mobile apps and a creative design team. Its current offer covers discovery and consulting, website audits, custom software, web and mobile development, front-end and back-end work, SaaS and e-commerce builds, legacy system modernisation, process automation and AI development. Its stack includes Angular, React, Vue.js, Laravel, CodeIgniter, PHP, Flutter and WordPress. It uses an AI-assisted workflow in which senior developers plan, build and review code, making projects up to 30 per cent faster. The agency prices by outcome rather than by the hour.
SEO is a secondary service. The agency appears on a TechBehemoths list of Cape Town SEO firms, but it does not publish an SEO process, local search work or Google Business Profile management. Its industries are automotive, fintech, edtech, travel, IoT and proptech. The only health-related name in its project list is Phonak, the hearing-aid brand. For a dental practice, Elemental is best suited to a custom-built site, patient portal, booking integration or bespoke software. Ongoing local SEO would likely need another provider.
Named clients and projects include Heineken's Open Your City campaign, Adidas, Changecars, Visio, Sure Trading, Zeal Surf and COMSSA, the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Other clients include Red Bull, BMW, Vodacom, Capitec, Lexus and Bosch. It is rated 5.0 on TechBehemoths from five reviews and won TechBehemoths awards in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
