PXL Solutions
We build for you.
Web platforms, AI systems and integrations, engineered for your operations and measured against one number you care about.
Software studio · Cape Town
Prototypes are easy. Production is the work.
PXL is a Cape Town software studio. We engineer web platforms, AI systems and integrations for clients, and launch our own products in PXL Labs.

One studio
Two engines. One standard.
PXL Labs
We build for ourselves.
Products, prototypes and experiments, built in public with honest statuses. They're how we learn hard problems before you pay us to.
What we learn shipping our own products goes into yours.
client work surfaces real problems → Labs turns them into products → products become proof → proof wins the next client
PXL Labs · Mako
PrototypeBuilt here first.
Mako reads a borrower's documents, structures the financials and drafts a credit summary an analyst can check line by line. Scoped with a prospective lender, then built as a proof of concept to the same scope.
It never approves or declines. It prepares the file, cites every figure, and leaves the decision with a person.

Watch a pilot run: Consult Digital's CEO was losing afternoons to outreach. This is the system that took it over, and what changed.
Consult Digital

Before
Every week, by hand:
- Searching LinkedIn and databases for contacts
- Deciding who in each company was worth reaching
- Writing personalised emails one by one
- Tracking follow-ups and results by hand
Step 01
Lead sourcing
Contact data pulled from Apollo via Apify against predefined criteria: profiles, titles, business emails and company descriptions.
Step 02
Decision-maker filtering
An AI step reviews each lead and keeps the people who can buy: CEOs, operations managers, IT directors.
Step 03
Personalised drafting
Each email references the prospect's business, location or industry, so it reads as written for them.
Step 04
Campaign tracking
Leads, campaigns and responses stored in Supabase and shown on a custom dashboard.
Step 05
Weekly report
A summary email every week: leads sourced, emails sent, progress. No dashboard login required.
After
The CEO reviews a weekly report and spends the time on strategy and closing.
Clients since 2023
Some of the teams we've built for.
From a fifteen-plus-page school website to an outreach system that handed a CEO back 45 hours.
In their words
“We had a fantastic experience working with Luka! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to understand our vision and delivered in a way that fits our brand perfectly.”
Handré Laubscher
CEO, Consult Digital
“Luka's attention to detail and delivery was without doubt one of the best I've encountered over the past 20 years. I recommend him for any automation or web design projects.”
David Bulmer
CEO, Bull & Badger
“The solution he built for us exceeded expectations, even with the many changes we requested. Great service and attention to detail.”
Aletta Gradie
Production Manager, DigitalPerfection
“It is much more than what I expected! It makes you think that it's a huge organisation behind all of this, meanwhile it's little old me in the garden.”
Renate Jaccobs
Founder, Sprout and Feather
“He answered all our questions and delivered a professional final product that exceeded expectations. I can't recommend PXL enough.”

How we work
Small steps, real numbers.
Every engagement starts small enough to prove itself. Scale it only if the number moves.
01 · 30 min, free
Scope
A call to find the one workflow worth fixing first, and the number that says it worked.
02 · 2–4 weeks
Pilot Sprint
One workflow, one metric, fixed scope. You see the number move before anything scales.
03 · Scoped
Build
The platform or system, built properly: tested, reviewed, documented, handed over.
04 · Optional retainer
Run
Monitoring, improvements and new workflows, month to month.
Physics trains you to model a messy system, measure it, and distrust your first answer. PXL builds software the same way: model the workflow, ship the smallest thing that works, measure what changed.
PXL takes on a small number of client builds each quarter, scheduled around a full academic load. Fewer projects, done properly.
