Dominate

Technology that won't fail, built for Angolan companies to grow without the risk

Software, design and infrastructure under one roof — with the same team making sure it keeps running after delivery. The people designing talk to the people building every day, and it shows in what comes out.

Who we are

Technology made in Angola, to solve Angolan problems.

We started from a simple conviction: there were problems around us going unsolved, not for want of technology, but because the right technology never reached the people who needed it. We build secure products that get operations off paper and out of scattered spreadsheets and into one system, without ever compromising the data and critical systems companies trust us with. We're still a small team for the size of the problem — and that's exactly how we intend to keep growing.

Ways of working

Pick the model that fits where your company is right now. Same team, same delivery standard in all of them.

Full time

One professional dedicated exclusively to your project. A good option for continuous demand with a broader scope.

Advantages

  • Full dedication to your product
  • Continuity and accumulated context
  • Immediate day to day response

Roles

  • Product Design
  • Development

Best for: Teams without a dedicated professional to spot product opportunities and needs on an ongoing basis.

Fixed scope

A multidisciplinary team joins your project with the scope agreed up front.

Advantages

  • Each discipline handled by someone who owns it
  • Everything agreed upfront, avoiding surprises
  • Fixed budget from the start
  • Efficient allocation of resources

Roles

  • UX, UI and Motion Design
  • Design System
  • Front-end development

Best for: Projects with clear, stable requirements where predictable timelines and costs are essential.

Open scope

You contract a number of hours a month and we spend them where they are needed most.

Advantages

  • Specialists without carrying them on the payroll
  • No idle time: we work only on what is a priority
  • Ideal for scaling with consistency and speed

Roles

  • UX, UI and Motion Design
  • Design System
  • Front-end and back-end development

Best for: Projects with varying volume, or that have someone internal to organise and prioritise the work.

Hybrid

A combination of both models: one full-time professional plus hours with Dominate's specialist team.

Advantages

  • Leadership to manage and organise
  • Immersion in your routine
  • Technical backup when the problem gets hard
  • Speed on more technical or refined tasks

Roles

  • UX, UI and Motion Design
  • Design System
  • Front-end and back-end development

Best for: Clients who need someone embedded in the team to structure the work, plus specialist support for more complex work.

Workflow

A process tested across dozens of projects, with the client involved at every stage.

  1. 1. Kickoff and alignment

    We understand the business context, align expectations and set clear goals.

  2. 2. Research and references

    We analyse the market and gather benchmarks and references to steer the creative and strategic decisions.

  3. 3. Architecture and structure

    We organise the information, define hierarchies and map the navigation flows.

  4. 4. Interface design

    We create the screens focused on aesthetics, usability and visual consistency, always tied to the brand identity.

  5. 5. Front-end development

    We turn the design into clean, semantic and optimised code, with high performance and responsiveness.

  6. 6. Validation and final delivery

    We test, refine and hand over the project with documentation, full access and support to keep evolving it.

Companies that trust us

The companies we work with come from different sectors, but arrive with the same problem: systems that can't keep up with growth anymore. Among our main clients and partners:

From transport to training, from insurance to retail

Designers and developers working side by side, which avoids the classic: a beautiful design nobody can actually build.
