By day, I'm a Dental Surgery student at the University of Nairobi. By choice, I've spent the last four years building web apps and server infrastructure.
Freelance web developer and software engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya. Specializing in high-performance websites, Next.js web apps, WordPress CMS, and server infrastructure.
What I Do
Domain Name
I help you choose and register a domain name that makes sense for your business, is easy to remember and gives your brand a proper home online.
Platform and Hosting
I choose a platform and hosting setup based on what your business actually needs. For something built around specific business requirements, I develop a custom web application. If you need to manage and publish content yourself, I can set up a content management system.
Server and Email Setup
I handle the server configuration and set up professional email addresses using a reliable email service. I'll also configure email authentication and deliverability so your messages have a better chance of landing in the inbox rather than spam.
Branded Email Signature
I create a clean, professional email signature that carries your branding into every message you send.
Front End and Back End
I build the part of your website customers see and the systems that make it work behind the scenes. Depending on your needs, this could include contact forms, customer accounts, product catalogues and other business-specific features.
Search Engine Optimization
I take care of the technical and on-page SEO basics to help search engines understand your website and make it easier for potential customers to find you through Google.
Link Previews and Performance
When someone shares your website on WhatsApp or social media, it should look good. I set up the titles, descriptions and images that appear in link previews, and optimize the website to load quickly on both phones and computers.
Maintenance and New Features
A website isn't something you build once and forget about. I can handle updates, fix issues and add new features as your business needs change.
Sample Websites
Services & Pricing
Every project is different. The prices below are starting estimates to give you an idea of what to expect. Your actual quote will depend on the size, functionality and complexity of your project. I'll discuss your requirements and provide a quotation before any work begins.
Domain, Hosting & Business Email
Get your business online with the essential infrastructure in place. I'll help you choose a suitable domain, configure your hosting environment and set up professional business email.
For businesses that need a reliable foundation without the hassle of figuring out the technical setup themselves.
Content-Managed Websites
A professionally designed website built around your business, with a content management system that lets you make changes whenever you need to. Manage your pages, images, articles and other content without having to edit code.
Suitable for businesses, professionals and organisations that need a strong online presence and control over their own content.
E-commerce & Online Stores
Custom-built online stores designed around how your business sells. From product catalogues, shopping carts and customer accounts to order management, inventory tracking, delivery configuration and automated notifications.
Direct M-Pesa STK Push and card payment gateway integrations, tailored to your sales workflows and customer experience.
Custom Web Applications
When an off-the-shelf website isn't enough, I build web applications around your specific requirements. This could be a booking platform, customer portal, management system, online service or an entirely new business idea.
Each application is designed around its intended users, workflows and functionality, with room to expand as your business grows.
Website Maintenance & Technical Support
Your website needs attention even after it goes live. I provide ongoing technical support to keep things running properly, handle updates, resolve issues and make improvements when needed.
