Websites that load fast and get found

We design and build websites, online shops and web applications. Our recent work includes the website for Africa Capital Week, an investment forum, and the site for My Secret Glow, a natural hair and skincare brand. Whatever the size, we build it to open quickly on a phone and to be found by the people searching for what you sell.

Ask about web development

Why it matters

A website has a job. For some businesses it is to bring in enquiries, for others to sell products or take bookings. We ask what that job is before we design anything, because it decides what goes on the first screen and what a visitor is asked to do next.

Speed matters more here than in most places. Many of your visitors are on mobile data, and a page that takes too long to appear loses them. We keep pages light, size images properly, and test on ordinary phones, not only on office laptops.

What we build

Company websites
A clear account of who you are and what you offer, with a simple way for a customer to reach you.
Online shops
Product pages, a basket and checkout with M-Pesa and card payments, and order management for your team.
Web applications
Customer portals, booking systems and internal tools that run in a browser on any device.
Event websites
Programmes, speakers and registration for conferences and forums, ready before the invitations go out.
Search set-up
Page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and structured data, so Google and AI assistants understand what each page is about.
Pages you can edit
You change text, images and prices yourself, without waiting for a developer.

How it goes

  1. We agree what the site is for

    One meeting to settle who visits, what they want to know, and what you want them to do.

  2. We design the pages

    You see the design on a phone and on a desktop before we build it, and ask for changes.

  3. We build and test

    We build the site, load your content, and test it on different phones, browsers and connection speeds.

  4. We launch and hand over

    We put the site live on your domain, submit it to Google, and show your team how to update it.

Questions we are asked

How long does it take to build a website?

A company website of a few pages is usually ready in a few weeks, most of which is spent agreeing the design and gathering your text and photographs. Online shops and web applications take longer because there is more to build and test.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. We set the site up so that you can change text, images, prices and blog posts from a simple editing screen. We show your team how to use it when we hand the site over.

Will my website appear on Google?

We build every site so that Google can read it properly and we submit it to Google Search Console at launch. How high it appears then depends on your content, how long the site has existed, and who links to it.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes. We keep the addresses of your current pages wherever we can, and redirect the ones that change, so you do not lose the position you already hold in search results.

Do you also provide the domain and hosting?

Yes. We can register your domain, host the site and set up business email, or we can build the site and hand it over to a hosting provider you already use.
