Work Hard
for Your Business

Why It Matters

The Gap Between
a Website and a
Good Website

01

Most African websites are designed for fast internet

Heavy images, slow load times, and zero optimisation for 3G or 4G data costs. We design lightweight-first — fast everywhere, not just in Nairobi's CBD.

02

Looking good ≠ converting

We design with psychology and intent — clear CTAs, trust signals, logical user journeys, and copy that speaks to your specific audience. Beautiful and effective.

03

You should be able to update it yourself

We don't lock you into calling us every time you want to change a word. Every site we build comes with a simple CMS and a 30-minute training session.

04

Design that reflects your actual brand

Not a template with your logo dropped in. A distinct visual identity, custom illustrations, and a personality that makes you recognisable and memorable.

What's Included

Everything From First
Pixel to Live Site

No nickel-and-diming. Every project includes strategy, design, development, and launch support — in one package.

UX Strategy & Wireframes

User journey mapping, information architecture, and low-fidelity wireframes that define how the site works before we design how it looks.

Visual Design & Brand

High-fidelity designs in Figma — colour palette, typography system, UI components, and illustration style. Everything documented in a design system you own.

Copywriting & Messaging

Headlines, body copy, and CTAs written by us — in your voice, for your audience. Because a beautiful design with weak copy still doesn't convert.

Full Development

Pixel-perfect implementation — fast, accessible, responsive across all devices and screen sizes. Built on modern, maintainable code you own fully.

SEO & Performance

On-page SEO, meta structure, image optimisation, and Core Web Vitals tuning so you rank and load fast — even on congested African networks.

Mobile-First Always

Over 70% of your visitors are on a phone. We design mobile first and scale up — not the other way around. Every tap target, every scroll, every interaction.

Our Process

From Brief to Live in
3–5 Weeks

A structured, collaborative process with clear checkpoints — so you always know where we are and what's coming next.

01
Discovery

Brand deep-dive, competitor analysis, audience definition, and goals clarification. We understand who you are before we design.

02
Wireframes

Information architecture and low-fidelity layouts — structure and flow before colour and detail. Your first opportunity to shape the experience.

03
Visual Design

Full high-fidelity mockups in Figma. Desktop and mobile. Two rounds of revisions included — we iterate until you love it.

04
Development

Design-to-code handoff with pixel precision. CMS setup, forms, integrations, SEO implementation, and performance optimisation.

05
Launch

QA on all devices, final client sign-off, domain setup, launch — and a 30-day post-launch support window for any tweaks.

Our old website was embarrassing to share. Prospects were asking if we were still in business. Three weeks after the new site launched, we closed our biggest contract to date — and the client mentioned the website specifically as a reason they felt confident moving forward.

What Changes

A New Website
Changes How People
See Your Business

Credibility you can see

A professional website signals that you're serious. Clients, partners, and investors all judge your business by your digital presence before they ever speak to you.

More leads, less chasing

A well-designed site with clear messaging works for you 24/7. Visitors know immediately what you do, who you serve, and why to choose you — and they contact you.

Rank on Google, get found

Every site we build includes SEO foundations — meta structure, schema markup, performance scores, and a content architecture that helps you rank for what matters.

FAQ

Things Clients
Usually Ask Us

Honest answers to the questions we hear most often. Nothing hidden, no jargon.

Ask Anything
How much does a website cost?
A professional 5–8 page corporate or brand website typically starts from $1,500–$4,000. An e-commerce store starts from $3,000 depending on the number of products and payment integrations. We provide a detailed quote after a 20-minute discovery call — no surprises.
How long does it take?
A standard corporate website takes 3–5 weeks from kick-off to launch. E-commerce sites take 4–7 weeks. The single biggest factor is how quickly we receive feedback from you — the faster you review, the faster we move.
Can I update the website myself after it's built?
Yes. We build on platforms that are easy for non-technical users to manage — WordPress, Webflow, or a custom CMS depending on your needs. Every project includes a 30-minute walkthrough so your team can add blog posts, update prices, swap images, and edit copy without calling us.
Do you offer website hosting?
Yes. We offer managed hosting plans that include server maintenance, security updates, daily backups, and uptime monitoring. You can also host it yourself or with a provider of your choice — we'll set everything up either way and document it completely.
What if I already have a website — can you improve it?
Absolutely. We do redesigns, performance audits, CRO (conversion rate optimisation), SEO overhauls, and targeted UX improvements. Sometimes a full rebuild isn't needed — sometimes a focused set of changes makes a dramatic difference. We'll be honest about which path makes sense for you.
