About Us
Thetaware has been in business for over two decades now, our core business being the development of professional websites for pretty much anyone who wants one from Individuals, small home offices to larger corporate type businesses.
We build a variety of websites from the basic informative brochure types, on line shops, hotels, on line catalogues. Every new customer who comes with a new idea is treated as a challenge. Changing technology itself is also a challenge and we do our best to keep up to date with what is relevant to our industry.
Mobile Friendly
With the advent of mobile smart phones and tablets the facility to access information wherever you are is now possible, for many it is essential. The reports vary but the essence is that the number of people accessing the internet via a mobile device is increasing, take a look at the table below and the more graphic pie chart below that (extracted from perficient.com) which show figures from 2019 and 2020. It is possible that this was altered by the worldwide Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, but we suspect that probably increased it in favour of mobile devices. It has now become essential for businesses to have a mobile presence, because of the smaller screen size the website needs to optimised for the smaller size but should still be as readable as on a on a desktop.
Mobile Friendly, Responsive - what's the difference
Current Global Device Breakdown

Updated Global Traffic Share
- Mobile Devices: 64.35% (Up from 68% in the 2020 chart if accounting for the removal of tablet variance, or tracking stable at roughly ~64% net web traffic).
- Desktop PCs: 34.10% (Down slightly from 29%).
- Tablets: 1.55% (Down from 3%).
- The Mobile Plateau: The massive jumps seen between 2019 (63%) and 2020 (68%) were accelerated by pandemic-era browsing habits. Growth has now leveled off in the mid-60s due to smartphone market saturation.
- Tablet Decline: Tablet market share has halved since 2020 (dropping from 3% to roughly 1.5%), as users favor large-screen smartphones or light laptops.
- The Bot/Human Variance: Modern data from networks like Cloudflare Radar highlights that while human traffic leans 55-64% mobile, automated bot traffic heavily skews toward desktop architecture, creating slight variations across different tracking tools.

5 Stars
My www.healthyalternatives.co.za website was recently hacked and to all intents and purposes destroyed. Being an e-ignoramus, I needed help URGENTLY. Was put in touch with Ian of Thetaware. Man, did he go the extra mile! – got the new site up and running virtually over the weekend and has become a mentor par-exellence. with such a helpful and creative attitude. Thank you Ian — you deserve the 5 stars.

It is also mobile friendly which has made a big difference to my clients ability to search for my business. I am in the construction industry and so have vehicle signage etc. I often notice people in the traffic seeing the website details on my van and doing a phone search in Ian has been extremely helpful and patient to realising my concept of how my website should fit my specific industry.
