Web applications · Ethiopia
Many organisations need software that fits how they work: a recruitment portal, an approvals workflow, a member dashboard. We build these web applications on WordPress, giving you custom tools on a platform that is widely supported.
Ethiopian businesses and NGOs often run key processes on spreadsheets, email chains and paper forms. That works until volume grows, staff change or a manager asks for a report nobody can produce quickly.
A web application brings the process online with clear roles, automatic notifications and reliable records. WordPress gives us user management, security and an admin interface as a solid base, so budget goes on your specific workflow rather than reinventing basics.
We start by mapping the process as it actually happens: who submits what, who reviews it, what decisions are made and what records must be kept. That becomes the application design. A recruitment portal might take applications, let HR shortlist and schedule interviews and notify candidates at each step. A grants portal might collect proposals, route them to reviewers and track approvals. Each is scoped feature by feature.
Web applications hold the most sensitive data an organisation has: staff records, applications, financial details. Proclamation No. 1321/2024 requires controllers to register with the Ethiopian Communications Authority, keep data secure and report breaches within 72 hours. We build role-based access so people see only what they need, log important actions, and plan storage with Article 22's data sovereignty requirement in mind, setting out options for your legal adviser.
Many applications include a payment step: membership fees, event registration or service charges. We integrate gateways such as Chapa or SantimPay so telebirr, CBE Birr or card payments update the record automatically. Where deadlines and schedules matter, the application can display Ethiopian and Gregorian dates and state times in East Africa Time, so instructions are not misread. Failed or pending payments are flagged for staff follow-up.
A dashboard should answer the questions managers ask every week without an export to a spreadsheet. We design reporting screens around those questions: applications by stage, payments received, tasks overdue. Data can be filtered, exported when needed and shown in charts that load quickly on a phone or laptop. Access to each dashboard follows the same role rules as the rest of the application, so sensitive figures are visible only to the people who need them.
We build applications in phases, starting with the core workflow and adding features once it is in use. Code is documented, held in version control and tested on staging. Development starts from $5,000 per project, with ongoing care available through Managed Services from $2,000 per year. Each phase ends with a demonstration and sign-off, so you see working software regularly rather than waiting months for a single launch. When a new need appears, we scope it as an addition rather than rebuilding what already works.

ASEP Logistics' recruitment portal and HR dashboard, the Federal Ministry of Education boot camp registration and Technext's QR check-in system were all built by our Nigeria team.
WordPress provides user accounts, security, an admin interface and a large support community as a starting point. That means more of your budget goes on the workflow that is unique to you. It also keeps you independent: many developers know WordPress, so you are not tied to one agency.
Usually. If your HR, accounting or CRM system has an API, we can exchange data with it, for example creating records automatically or pulling reference data. We check the other system's documentation during scoping and agree exactly what moves where.
That is agreed during scoping. Ethiopia's proclamation includes a data sovereignty article requiring storage of personal data in Ethiopia, so we map the data the application handles and set out hosting options, including in-country servers, for your legal adviser to confirm.
It depends on the number of workflows, roles and integrations. We usually recommend a first phase covering the core process, which gets the application in use sooner. Your written scope includes milestones and demonstrations at each stage. Larger integrations or complex reporting usually move into later phases.
Yes. We design screens that work on phones, tablets and laptops, which is important when field staff or managers are away from a desk. Heavier reporting screens are optimised so they remain usable on mobile connections. We test on real devices before each release.
