Choose the right build

Web development services matched to the job

A brochure website, online store and internal web application solve different problems. Each scope below explains the use case, what is delivered, the usual schedule and the next step.

Business website development

Use case: A credible company website that explains services, proves capability and turns visits into enquiries.

Deliverables: Sitemap, responsive layouts, service pages, enquiry routing, CMS where scoped, analytics and technical SEO foundations.

Typical scope: 2–5 weeks for Starter or Business, depending on content readiness.

Explore business websites →

Custom web applications

Use case: Portals, dashboards or workflows that a standard website or plugin cannot handle reliably.

Deliverables: Requirements, user flows, interface design, application logic, database/API work, testing and deployment.

Typical scope: From 6 weeks; timeline and price follow discovery because functionality varies.

Scope a custom web app →

E-commerce development

Use case: Kenyan retailers and service businesses that need customers to browse, pay and receive order confirmation online.

Deliverables: Catalogue, stock, M-Pesa and card checkout, orders, delivery handling and store handover.

Typical scope: The published package is KSh 90,000; catalogue size, delivery rules and integrations determine the project schedule.

WordPress and CMS development

Use case: Marketing teams that need to update pages, publish articles or manage products without calling a developer.

Deliverables: Content templates, editor setup, sensible permissions, performance checks and CMS handover.

Typical scope: Included where stated in the package; custom editorial workflows are scoped separately.

Website redesign

Use case: An existing site is dated, slow, difficult to edit or no longer matches the business.

Deliverables: Content and URL inventory, revised journeys, responsive rebuild, redirects where needed and launch QA.

Typical scope: Quoted after an audit so useful content, links and search intent are preserved.

Plan a safe website redesign →

Website maintenance and support

Use case: Teams that need routine updates, security maintenance and a clear route for technical help after launch.

Deliverables: The post-launch support window plus optional ongoing updates, monitoring and technical support.

Typical scope: Agreed at handover or after an audit of an existing website.

Understand post-launch support →

M-Pesa and payment integration

Use case: Stores and web applications that need payment confirmation tied to a real order or account.

Deliverables: Checkout flow, provider callback handling, confirmed/failed payment states and end-to-end testing.

Typical scope: Included in the E-commerce package; standalone integrations depend on the current platform and merchant setup.

Read the M-Pesa integration guide →

Managed hosting

Use case: Businesses that want one team responsible for keeping the website online and maintained.

Deliverables: Hosting guidance, configuration, monitoring, updates, backups, restores and support as defined in the plan.

Typical scope: Optional after launch; currently from KSh 24,000 per year.

Compare managed hosting →

Technical SEO

Use case: A site that must be crawlable, understandable and fast enough to compete without shortcuts.

Deliverables: Architecture, titles, metadata, canonical rules, sitemap/indexing checks, internal links, redirects and performance groundwork.

Typical scope: Foundations are part of the build; ongoing SEO for competitive searches is a separate service.

Development process

A seven-stage process you can follow

Scope, responsibilities and review points are agreed before development. Real-device and mobile-data testing, CMS handover, technical SEO and post-launch support remain part of the approach.

1

Discovery

We establish the audience, required outcomes, constraints and client inputs.

2

Planning

Scope, sitemap, functionality, responsibilities and schedule are agreed in writing.

3

UI/UX design

Key layouts and journeys are reviewed before development begins.

4

Development

The site is built in reviewable stages, including CMS and integrations in scope.

5

Testing

Forms, payments, content, accessibility basics and responsive behaviour are checked on real devices and mobile data.

6

Deployment

Analytics, indexing, redirects, forms and launch-critical settings are checked before and after go-live.

7

Handover and support

Your team receives CMS handover and a support window, with ongoing management available if needed.
