About us

Our personal motto is "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra" and this philosophy shines through clearly in our work.

Elite Ideas  was started in 2001 and has grown from strength to strength. The business is managed daily by Remé Verster (IT and Programming Manager) and Lerynne Verster (Sales and Marketing Manager). Various people with a large variety of other skills make up our trusted team on an "as needed" basis.

So, who are we?

Reme Verster, Elite IdeasRemé is a B.Sc. (Physiology and Psychology) and HED graduate from UFS.

He has a great interest in computers  - he started exploring the world of bits and bytes while still at school - and has been actively involved in the IT field since 1993.  In 1997 he began his own computer hardware and consulting business, which proved to be an invaluable source of resources, experience and support when it came to the establishment of Elite Ideas.

Remé also has 12 years design experience in print and other visual media. A natural talent for combinations that work well, combined with years of experience gives him a powerful skill-set when approaching client projects.

"I enjoy extending my skills and creating challenges for myself. The idea that there are so many things to learn and that most of them are wonderfully interesting makes me excited about life. The fact that I can use my knowledge for the benefit of others is particularly satisfying."

Lerynne’s formal qualifications include a BA (Law) degree (UFS), a BA (Hons)(Linguistics) degree (UFS), a TESOL Certificate (St George’s International School of English, London, UK), a Written English Professional certification (BrainBench) and a Personal Computing Diploma (Damelin).

Lerynne is a keen student of old and new, "dirt world" and online marketing and sales techniques. She is interested in systems and how they can be designed and practically applied to help an organisation function optimally. She also has 12 years copywriting, freelance journalism, translation and editing experience.
