Is Your Current Website Costing You Business?
Let's be completely honest. You've probably been burned by freelancers or agencies in the past. Here are the common headaches my clients tell me they faced before they hired me:
The 'Missing' Developer
They built your website, collected the final check, and then vanished. Now, simple edits like changing a phone number or pricing table take weeks of chasing, or never happen at all.
The Speed Penalty (15-Second Load)
Your site looks decent on a high-speed fiber connection in an office, but takes forever to load on Safaricom 3G/4G. Since 80%+ of Kenyan traffic is mobile, your customers click away in frustration.
The Silent Phone (No Leads)
You paid a lot for a digital 'brochure' site. It looks neat, but nobody calls, books, or inquiries. It lacks strategic call-to-actions, conversion copywriting, or direct M-Pesa shortcuts.
Confusing Jargon & Over-Complication
You ask for a simple online ordering form and get hit with long lectures about framework options, database schemas, and API hosting. No clear timeline, and no talk of business outcomes.
Recent Websites Built For Conversion
A curated collection of web applications and business portfolios shipped with speed and local payment systems.
What Makes Me Different
I do not compete with cheap template copywriters or slow agencies. Here is why serious businesses hire me to build their web platforms:
Outcome-Driven (No Jargon)
I don't just sell you 'responsive designs' or 'CMS databases'. I focus on the metrics that pay your bills: increasing bookings, making checkout faster, and landing WhatsApp calls.
Engineered for Safaricom Network Speeds
Every site is minified, optimized, and built to load under 2 seconds on weak mobile data connections. I make sure you don't lose up to 50% of Kenyan mobile traffic.
Zero Retainer Lock-in (100% Ownership)
You own everything. The domain, the hosting, the code repository, and the databases are all registered in your business name. No hidden recurring fees to keep your site online.
Plain English & Swahili Communication
No tech elitism. We talk about your customer journeys, checkout flow, and pricing pages in plain terms, with live preview links showing progress every few days.
How It Looks Working With Me
No guessing games, no missed deadlines. A structured 14-day pipeline to go from idea to launch.
Discovery & Strategy
A 20-minute strategy call to unpack your business goals. I prepare a scope proposal with fixed pricing and timelines within 24 hours.
Live Prototype Preview
I build the wireframe design and core pages. You receive a secure, live link to test the layouts and provide feedback as it builds.
Payments & Forms Setup
We hook up payment workflows (M-Pesa STK Push via Daraja or aggregator APIs) and automate WhatsApp/Email lead notifications.
Speed Tuning & Launch
We run network speed tests, map your domain, deploy SSL security, and launch. I send a custom 5-minute video tutorial on updating your site.
Honest Talk: Who I Am NOT For
I only take on projects where I am 100% confident I can deliver massive business outcomes. To save both of our time, we are likely not a fit if:
Ksh 5,000 Budget Hunters
If you want a cheap, slow template built in a day that breaks and loads in 15 seconds, there are plenty of freelancers available on local directories. I build custom, high-speed business assets.
Micromanagers
I operate best with business owners who hire me for my UX, copywriting, and speed optimization expertise. If you want to direct every pixel and dictate design rules, we won't work well.
Hands-Off Owners
A high-performing site requires your input. If you cannot spare 15 minutes a week to review preview links, clarify product details, or share assets, the project will stall.
Get-Rich-Quick Schemes
I do not build platforms for unlicensed gambling, questionable investment programs, or fake copycat platforms. I partner with legitimate businesses building real value.
Frustrations Solved
Got questions or fears? Here are the exact problems business owners bring to me, and how we solve them.
My developer disappeared and I can't update my site.
I build websites on clean content editors or provide a customized, simple CMS. Plus, you get a custom 5-minute video tutorial showing you exactly how to update text and images. You remain in complete, independent control.
We get visitors from social media, but nobody buys.
Traffic without conversion is useless. I restructure your landing page layout using proven user psychology, clear headlines, and fast WhatsApp/Call CTA buttons that guide visitors step-by-step to transact.
I don't know anything about domains, hosting, or SSL.
You don't have to. I register your domain, configure fast secure hosting, deploy SSL certificates, and set up professional business emails. I deliver a 100% finished product.
Lipa na M-Pesa automated payments are too complicated.
I handle the entire setup. Whether we connect directly to Safaricom's Daraja API for STK PIN popups or use gateways like Pesapal or IntaSend, I write the code and test callbacks to ensure secure transactions.
