Have you worked with clients in Kenya before?
Not yet, and we prefer to say so plainly. Our clients so far are in Nigeria, the UK and the USA. The platforms we have built, such as an online school taking payments in four currencies and an events system that sold and scanned over 10,000 tickets, solve the same problems Kenyan organisations bring to us. We are happy to walk you through them on a call.
Can my website take M-Pesa payments?
Yes. For most sites we connect M-Pesa through a gateway such as Paystack, Flutterwave or Pesapal, which handles the phone prompt and confirms payment back to WordPress. If you already have a Safaricom Till or Paybill and want payments to go straight to it, we can integrate with Safaricom's Daraja API instead. We help you choose based on fees, settlement and the reporting you need.
Do we have to register with the Data Commissioner?
Registration with the ODPC depends on your size and sector under the registration regulations, so check your position with a lawyer or the ODPC directly. Whatever the answer, the Data Protection Act still applies to the personal data your website collects. We make the site's side simple: clear consent, minimal storage, secure forms and a record of where data is held.
How do we work with a team based in Nigeria?
Remotely, with a clear process. You get a named project lead, a shared board for tasks and approvals, and scheduled calls during the hours our days overlap. We are two hours behind Nairobi. Feedback is given on staging links, so you can review designs and builds from anywhere, and every decision is written down.
What currency do you charge in?
Our prices are set in US dollars: Strategy and Design from $1,500 per project, Development from $5,000, Migrations from $1,000 and Managed Services from $2,000 per year. Every engagement is scoped and priced in writing. If your finance team needs a shilling reference figure for internal approval, tell us when we scope the work.
How does a project start?
With a short discovery call about your goals, audience and the systems the site must connect to, such as M-Pesa or your CRM. We then send a written scope with deliverables, timeline and price. Once you approve it, design begins. Nothing is built on assumptions, and you see progress on a staging site throughout.
