ZARQ Digital

Technology that works for your business.

From your first website to automating the work that slows you down, we design, build and support practical technology at prices that make sense for small businesses, schools and organisations.

Launch special: 40% off all services

Prices exclude VAT.

Why ZARQ

Work that pays it forward.

01

Practical and affordable.

Clear scopes, transparent prices and solutions you can actually use and maintain.

02

Qualified and hands-on.

Led by a BSc Information Technology graduate with business analysis experience, so we understand the business problem as well as the technology.

03

Purpose built in.

Revenue from every ZARQ Digital project helps fund devices, connectivity, learning and mentorship for young people.

How we work

From first call to launch.

More about our process
  1. 01

    Conversation

    Tell us what you need and what you’re trying to achieve.

  2. 02

    Scope

    We agree on what will be delivered, by when, and at what cost.

  3. 03

    Design & build

    We design, build and check in with you as the work takes shape.

  4. 04

    Launch & support

    We hand over, launch and help you get the most out of it.

Why we do this

It’s bigger than device access.

A young person can use a phone every day and still have little chance to learn how technology is built, develop a portfolio, meet mentors or turn digital skills into income.

What’s often out of reach

  • Computers and reliable connectivity
  • Practical digital skills
  • AI and emerging-technology exposure
  • Mentors and professional networks
  • Project opportunities
  • Knowledge of technology careers

Programmes

Learn it. Build it. Use it.

ZARQ programmes take young people from first access to real projects and opportunity, with Digital Kindness in every class. Free for learners, in Matatiele and online.
