The opportunity

Why does your business need a website in Kenya?

Your customers are already searching online. Most of your competitors are still invisible there. A professional website puts your business in front of buyers at the exact moment they are looking.

63%

of Kenyan SMEs still have no website. Showing up at all puts you ahead of most of your market.

23.4M

Kenyans are online, and the number grew 9.9% in a single year. The buyers are there.

~70%

of Kenyan web traffic comes from phones. Every site we build is designed mobile-first.

91%

mobile money penetration. If your website cannot take M-Pesa, it is leaving money on the table.

What you get

What does our website design service include?

Every Optisites build is a complete working asset, not just a set of pages. Design, development, performance and the tools Kenyan customers actually use, connected from day one.

Strategy-led design

We start with your customers, your competitors and the actions you want visitors to take. The design serves the business goal, not the other way round.

WordPress development

A clean, fast WordPress build you can update yourself. No locked-in page builders you cannot touch, no mystery code.

SEO foundations

Clean structure, optimised titles and descriptions, fast load times and Search Console set up. Our SEO service can then build on a solid base.

Speed and mobile performance

Designed for phones first, because that is where roughly 70% of Kenyan traffic is. Optimised images, caching and clean code keep load times low.

WhatsApp and M-Pesa built in

Chat buttons, click-to-WhatsApp enquiries and M-Pesa payment integration. Your website works the way Kenyan customers already buy.

Hosting and maintenance

Managed hosting and maintenance with SSL, backups and monthly updates. We stay accountable after launch.

Industries

We specialise in established Kenyan businesses that already serve customers well and want their online presence to match. These are the industries we know deepest.

How it works

How does the process work?

A clear four-step process with fixed milestones. You know what is happening, what it costs and when it goes live.

Step 01

Discovery

We learn your business, your customers and your goals, then map exactly what the website needs to deliver. You get a fixed quote before anything starts.

Step 02

Design

Page layouts, copy direction and visual design, approved by you before a single line of code is written. No surprises at launch.

Step 03

Build

Development, integrations, tracking and testing on real devices. Speed and mobile performance are checked before you ever see it.

Step 04

Launch and grow

We go live, monitor performance and train your team. Hosting, maintenance and optimisation continue month after month.

Proof

Real builds. Measurable results.

We designed, developed and launched a full-stack automotive platform for the UK market: a real-time car valuation engine and vehicle history checker used by thousands of drivers every month.

The same standards apply to every Kenyan business we build for: real performance budgets, tested on real phones, measured after launch. We take on a limited number of projects so each one is done properly.

FAQ

Web design in Kenya: common questions

How much does web design cost in Kenya? +
Most professional SME websites in Kenya cost between KES 40,000 and KES 150,000 depending on scope. At Optisites a 5-page business website is KES 40,000 fixed, and our Growth package with branding, monthly SEO and one AI automation is KES 85,000. For the full market breakdown, read our website cost guide for Kenya.
How long does it take to build a website? +
A standard business website goes live in 4 to 6 weeks. That covers discovery, design approval, development, device testing and launch. E-commerce stores and booking systems can take longer depending on scope, and we tell you the timeline with your quote.
Can my customers pay through M-Pesa on the website? +
Yes. We integrate M-Pesa payments, including STK push, so customers can pay directly on the site or from a WhatsApp conversation. It works for deposits, bookings and full e-commerce checkouts.
Do you only work with businesses in Nairobi? +
No. We are based in Nairobi and work with businesses across Kenya. Discovery calls, design approvals and support all run remotely over WhatsApp, phone and video calls, so your location never slows the project down. Based in the capital? See our dedicated web design in Nairobi page.
Will my website show up on Google? +
Every site ships with SEO foundations: clean structure, optimised titles and descriptions, fast load times and Google Search Console set up. Ranking positions depend on competition and content, so no honest agency guarantees a specific position. Our SEO service builds visibility month by month on top of that base.
What happens after my website goes live? +
We do not disappear after launch. Hosting and maintenance is KES 3,500 per month and covers hosting, SSL, backups, plugin updates and performance checks. When you need changes, you message us on WhatsApp and they get done.
