# **Websites and apps that bring in work**
Websites, online shops and apps for Kenyan businesses whose site should bring in enquiries or sales, not just exist. Built around what customers come to do, with search and analytics from day one.

## **What changes when the site does its job**
Most business websites look fine and do little. Visitors can't find the next step, and when someone does get in touch, nobody can tell where they came from.

*- Built around what visitors came to do - Every enquiry reaches a person - You can see where work comes from*
### **Today**
- The site looks fine, but nobody gets in touch through it.
- Enquiries sit in a form inbox nobody checks.
- You can't tell which pages or ads bring in work.
- Changing a price or a photo means calling a developer.
### **After launch**
- Every page leads to one clear next step.
- Enquiries and orders reach the right person straight away.
- You can see where your work comes from.
- You update prices, photos and pages yourself.
## **What's included**
- A site structured around what customers come to do
- Online shop, booking or enquiry flows
- Mobile money and card payments, where you sell online
- Page titles, structured data and fast pages for search
- Analytics that track enquiries, calls and orders
- Content you can update yourself, and a short handover
Not included yet Mobile apps. An app is its own project, so we scope and price it separately, often once the website shows what people use most.
what we leave out, we write down
## **How it goes**
1. **01**### **Free first scope**
We agree what visitors should be able to do, which pages that needs, and what the first version leaves out.
2. **02**### **Plan the pages**
You see the structure and the main pages, with the words in place, before we build.
3. **03**### **Build**
We build the site, the forms and any checkout, and you review it on a private link.
4. **04**### **Launch**
We connect your domain, set up search and analytics, and check that every form reaches someone.
5. **05**### **Learn and improve**
Once visitors arrive, we look at what they do and change the pages that aren't working.
## **Which kind of site fits**
If a website builder would do the job, we'll tell you in the first scope. This is roughly how the options compare.
a builder is fine for some
| Question | **Website builder** | **WordPress** | **Custom-built** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Good for | A simple brochure site you run yourself | Sites with lots of pages and posts | Shops, bookings and flows specific to you |
| Ongoing cost | A monthly plan, plus add-ons | Hosting, plugins and regular updates | Hosting and someone to look after it |
| Watch for | Hard to move away from, and limited checkout | Plugins that need updating to stay safe | The highest cost up front |
## **Common questions**
**How much does a website cost in Kenya? **
Websites and online shops start from KES 70,000. The final price depends on the number of pages, the shop or booking flow, content and integrations. The free first scope gives you a fixed quote.
**How long does it take to build a website? **
Most websites and online shops take 2 to 4 weeks once the scope is agreed.
**Can my online shop take mobile money and card payments? **
Yes. Checkout can take mobile money and card payments, and each order is confirmed automatically once the payment arrives.
**Can I update the site myself? **
Yes. You can change text, prices and photos yourself, and we show you how at handover.
## **Not sure this is the right fit?**
Most projects touch more than one of these areas. Tell us what's slowing you down and we'll send back the smallest useful first version as a one-page scope.
