What we do

Four things, done properly.

All services →

Websites & digital platforms

A stronger first impression, fewer lost visitors.

A website that loads fast on real Kenyan networks, reads clearly, and makes it easy to contact you so the people who find you don't bounce to a competitor.

Learn more →

Custom business systems

Less spreadsheet work, fewer administrative errors.

Internal dashboards, administrative portals, booking platforms, school systems, invoicing and reporting tools: purpose-built web software that replaces the manual work currently living in WhatsApp threads, spreadsheets and paper.

Learn more →

Managed hosting & infrastructure

One accountable technical partner.

We host what we build, and can take over what others built.

Learn more →

Support & modernization

Your existing system, made dependable again.

Inherited a site or system nobody maintains? We audit it honestly, stabilise it, document it, and modernise it in stages without a risky big-bang rewrite unless one is genuinely needed.

How it works

Five steps. No surprises.

01

Discover

We learn your organisation, users, constraints and the outcome you actually need.

02

Design

The system, scope, interface and delivery plan, written down with a fixed quote.

03

Build

Development in clear milestones with regular demonstrations, not a long silence.

04

Launch

Deploy, migrate content, test, document and train your team.

05

Support

Hosted, monitored and improved, with real responses when you need help.

Tilisther Construction

From word of mouth to a credible first impression online.

The problem

Tilisther had no website. Every commercial lead came through referrals and cold calls, and prospects had nowhere to check their work before picking up the phone.

What we built

An authority-first site with dedicated pages for construction, renovation and project management, a gallery of recent works, and an enquiry form that asks for the project type up front, with WhatsApp one tap away on every page.

Kenya Children's Homes

A charity founded in 1961 gets a website that matches its mission.

The problem

KCH's old UK-hosted site was bare-bones: no clear structure, no way to give online, and no mobile layout. Sponsors abroad struggled to find information or donate.

What we built

A complete rebuild on a Kenyan domain, with a page for each of KCH's five programmes, news, volunteering and careers, a gallery, and a donation page with monthly giving.

Aestra

Our own product: the launch site for a free, native music workstation.

The problem

A new desktop app has to explain itself to musicians, publish releases and documentation, and build an audience before it is generally available.

What we built

A product site with features, pricing, docs, changelog, roadmap and download pages, a waitlist with email sign-up, and structured data that tells search engines it is software, with its FAQs.
