Web development in Nairobi: what your business should know

A short guide to getting a website that customers can find, trust and use.

Web design and development in Nairobi

A good website is often the first place a customer checks before they call, visit or pay. We design and build business websites in Nairobi that load quickly, look professional on any screen and make it easy for visitors to contact you or buy from you.

E-commerce websites with M-Pesa

Kenyan shoppers expect to pay with M-Pesa. We build online shops with product pages, carts, orders and M-Pesa STK push payments, so a customer can pay from their phone and you see the order confirmation straight away.

Websites that get found on Google

Search engine optimisation starts with how a site is built. We use clear page titles and descriptions, tidy headings, fast pages and mobile-friendly layouts, then set up Google Search Console and your Google Business Profile.

Mobile-friendly by default

Most people in Kenya browse on their phones, often on mobile data. We design for small screens first, compress images and keep pages light, so your website opens quickly wherever your customers are.

How to choose a web developer in Kenya

Ask to see real projects, check that the developer builds for mobile and search, ask how M-Pesa payments will be handled, and confirm who looks after the website after launch. Clear quotes and timelines are a good sign.

Website maintenance and support

Websites need regular updates, security checks and backups. Our maintenance support keeps your site running smoothly, fixes problems quickly and adds new features as your business grows.

Where we work. We are based in Nairobi and build websites for businesses across Kenya, including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret, in person or remotely.

What is web development, and why does your business need it?

Web development is the work of building and maintaining websites and web applications. It covers everything a visitor sees on screen, such as layouts, menus, forms and product pages, and everything that happens behind the scenes, such as saving orders, processing payments and keeping your data safe.

For a business in Kenya, a well-built website works every hour of the day. It answers questions before customers have to call, shows your work, collects enquiries and takes orders and M-Pesa payments while you are busy with other things.

Web design and web development are closely linked but not the same. Design decides how the site looks and how easy it is to use. Development makes it work: loading quickly, adapting to every screen, connecting to payments and staying secure. We handle both, so you deal with one team from first idea to launch.

Front-end development

The part customers see and touch: pages, menus, buttons, forms and animations. Good front-end work makes a site clear, quick and comfortable on small phone screens.

Back-end development

The part that runs behind the scenes: databases, user accounts, order handling, admin areas and the logic that makes a web application do its job.

Integrations and payments

Connecting your website to M-Pesa, card payments, WhatsApp, email, SMS, Google Maps and the other tools your business already relies on.

What affects the cost and timeline of a website in Kenya

No two websites are the same, so there is no single price. These are the things that decide how much work a project takes.

Size and content

The number of pages, and whether the text, photos and product details are ready or still need to be written and prepared, shapes both cost and timing.

Features

A brochure site is simpler than an online shop with carts and orders, and a shop is simpler than a booking system or customer portal with logins and dashboards.

Design

A clean layout built around your brand moves quickly. Fully custom visuals, illustrations and animation add design time.

Integrations

Taking M-Pesa payments, connecting other systems through an API or syncing stock and orders needs extra development and careful testing.

Feedback and approvals

Projects move fastest when feedback is gathered in one place and decisions are made quickly at each stage.

Support after launch

Hosting, backups, security updates and new features are ongoing work, which is why we offer maintenance plans after the site goes live.

Questions we often hear

Cannot find your answer? Send us a message and we will reply.

How much does a website cost in Kenya?

It depends on the number of pages, the features and the design. A simple business website costs less than an online shop or custom system. Tell us what you need and we will send a quote.

Can you connect my website to M-Pesa?

Yes. We integrate M-Pesa payments so customers can pay from your website, and we link payments to your orders.

How long does a project take?

A simple business website can take a few weeks. Shops and web applications take longer. We give you a timeline once we understand what you need.

Will my website work well on phones?

Yes. Every site we build is designed for mobile first and tested on real devices.

Do you help after the website is live?

Yes. We offer maintenance and support, including updates, bug fixes, security checks and new features.

Can you help my business show up on Google?

We build search-friendly sites and set up Google Search Console and your Google Business Profile. No one can guarantee a ranking, but a well-built site gives you a strong start.

What is the difference between web design and web development?

Web design is how your website looks and how easy it is to use. Web development is how it works: the code, speed, security, payments and features. We do both, so you work with one team.

What do I need to get started?

Just tell us about your business and what you want the website to do. If you already have a logo, photos, text or examples of sites you like, share them. If not, we can guide you on what to prepare.
