Website development
A website that earns its keep.
Website development for Kenyan businesses - fast, mobile-first sites that rank on Google, load quickly on Kenyan networks, and turn visitors into WhatsApp enquiries. Built AI-ready, so a chatbot, automation or booking flow can be added when you need it. Scoped to your needs, built in Nairobi, owned by you.
The job
What should a business website do for you?
A website is staff, not decoration. It has four jobs, and a build that skips any of them is money wasted.
Rank on Google
A website nobody finds is a business card in a drawer. We build the SEO foundation in from day one - structure, speed, schema markup and content that matches what Kenyans actually search for.
Load fast on Kenyan mobile networks
Most of your visitors are on a phone, often on patchy data. We build light, fast pages that load in seconds on Safaricom or Airtel - because a slow site loses the customer before it says a word.
Convert visitors to WhatsApp enquiries
In Kenya, the sale starts on WhatsApp. Every page we build has a clear path to a pre-filled WhatsApp chat, so an interested visitor becomes a conversation in one tap, not a lost tab.
Look credible to a buyer
Before a customer sends money or a partner signs, they check your website. A clean, professional site with real information answers the quiet question every buyer asks: can I trust these people?
Included as standard
What every build includes.
These are not add-ons or upsells - every website we ship has all six.
Mobile-first design
Designed for the phone screen first, tested from 320px up.
SEO foundation with schema markup
Clean structure, meta tags and structured data so Google understands every page.
Google Business Profile setup
So you show up on Maps and local search, where Kenyan buyers look first.
Analytics and Search Console
You see your visitors and your Google performance from day one.
SSL / HTTPS
The padlock in the browser - secure by default, and Google expects it.
WhatsApp click-to-chat
Pre-filled WhatsApp chat wired to every call to action.
Pricing
Priced on scope, quoted in writing.
Business websites
Scoped per project
A focused, professional site that does the four jobs above. The quote reflects the actual work - a genuinely useful business website, not a stripped demo you are pushed to upgrade.
Larger builds
Quoted after scoping
More pages, online stores, portals and custom features are priced after we understand the work - in writing, before you commit. No guessed quotes, no surprise invoices mid-project.
Proof we practise what we build: our cbcedukenya.com build reached Domain Authority 10 in five months - read the case study. And a website is often just the start: many clients grow theirs into a full business system, add AI automation for enquiries, or start with an AI Business Assessment to plan the whole journey first.
- How much does a website cost in Kenya?
- It depends on the scope and complexity of the work, which is why we quote every website individually - in writing, before you commit. A focused business site costs less than a portal or an online store, and the quote is itemised so you see exactly what you are paying for. If someone quotes you a site without asking questions about your business first, be suspicious.
- How long does a website take to build?
- A focused business website typically goes live in one to two weeks once we have your content and photos. Larger builds take longer and get a written timeline at scoping. The slowest step is usually gathering the content, so we help you with that too.
- How long before my website ranks on Google?
- Be wary of anyone promising page one in a week. A new site typically starts appearing in search over its first weeks and builds from there. What we control is doing the foundations properly from day one - clean structure, fast pages, real content - and the rest compounds with time. We have taken a site we built from zero to genuine search visibility within months.
- Do I need to pay for hosting and a domain separately?
- A .co.ke domain and hosting are real running costs, but they are modest, and we set both up in your name - you own them, not us. We tell you the exact renewal costs upfront so there are no surprise invoices later.
- Can the website grow into something bigger later?
- Yes, and we build with that in mind. A site can grow into a customer portal, an online store with M-Pesa payments, or a full business system without starting over. Tell us where you want to be in two years and we lay the foundation for it now.
