Location

Nairobi — online and client-office meetings by appointment

Nairobi is the startup capital of East Africa — and one of the most competitive markets on the continent. A dated, slow, or mobile-broken website tells potential customers you can't keep up. We help Nairobi businesses look as good as they operate, with websites engineered to convert mobile-first Kenyan buyers into paying customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does web design cost in Nairobi?

Our website packages start at KES 24,999 for Bronze. Silver and Gold are scoped and quoted individually, with larger platforms and e-commerce stores quoted after scoping. We provide a fixed quote after a free consultation.

Why should I hire a Nairobi-based web design agency?

A local agency understands the Kenyan market — M-Pesa integration, mobile-first behaviour, local payment and delivery logistics, and the business context. We build for Kenyan customers, not generic templates.

How long does it take to design a website in Nairobi?

A standard business website takes 4-8 weeks from strategy to launch. E-commerce sites take 6-10 weeks. You'll see design mockups within the first two weeks and get regular updates throughout.

Do you build e-commerce websites for Nairobi businesses?

Yes. We build online stores with M-Pesa STK push integration, secure checkout, and mobile-first design — see our e-commerce services for details.

Can you help with SEO for a Nairobi business?

Yes. We offer technical SEO, keyword strategy, and content engineering, including local SEO to help you win 'web design Nairobi' and 'near me' searches. Every website we build comes SEO-optimized out of the box.

What is included in a website package?

Every package includes strategy, mobile-first design, engineering on Next.js with TypeScript, on-page SEO, an XML sitemap, structured data, analytics setup and a documented handover. Bronze covers five pages, Silver adds a CMS and ten pages, and Gold adds off-page SEO and up to twenty pages. Hosting and domain registration are arranged separately so you own both.

Do you only work with businesses in Nairobi?

No. We are based in Nairobi and most of our clients are in Kenya, but we build for organisations across East Africa and further afield. Consultations happen online or at your offices by arrangement, and we work in English across any time zone.

Can you redesign an existing website instead of starting again?

Often, yes. We start with an audit of your current site — performance, structure, content and conversion paths — and tell you honestly whether a targeted set of fixes will get you there or whether the platform is the thing holding you back. Many businesses we work with come to us with a site that simply needs engineering attention rather than a full rebuild.

How do I choose a web design company in Nairobi?

Ask for page counts, what happens after launch, and whether the price is fixed. Compare real page speed on mobile rather than portfolio screenshots, and check whether the site you are shown was built recently. Anyone who cannot state which pages a proposal covers, or what support follows the launch, is selling an estimate rather than a package.
