Web design pricing.
from KES 50,000
A business website at this price includes:
- A properly structured, responsive site, built to the page count your business needs
- Hosting setup and SSL
- Google Business Profile connection
- Analytics and Search Console, configured before launch
- Schema markup and a self-updating sitemap
- A measured page-speed target, tested on PageSpeed Insights
What moves the price up: page count beyond the standard set, custom functionality such as booking forms, multi-location structure or member areas, and content that has to be written rather than supplied.
Out of scope at this price: logo and brand identity design, professional photography, and ongoing content writing after launch.
Ecommerce pricing.
from KES 150,000
A storefront with payment integration, M-Pesa, and a real product structure. Product photography, copywriting and the initial catalogue entry are not included, and day-to-day catalogue and stock management stays with you. See ecommerce web design for the scope.

Why the cheap quote is cheap.
A very low web design quote usually means the structure, speed and schema work has been left out. The site looks fine and cannot be found, and fixing it later costs more than building it properly would have. A very low SEO quote usually means a narrower scope than it looks, a templated deliverable, or shortcuts such as bought links that put your site at risk.
None of that is a reason to pay more than you need to. It is a reason to ask what is in the quote. Two guides explain how to read one: how much a website costs in Kenya and how much SEO costs in Kenya.
Pricing FAQ.
Are these fixed prices?
The SEO audit (KES 35,000) and GBP Rescue (KES 25,000) are fixed. The two monthly tiers are fixed per month with a six-month minimum. Web design and ecommerce are "from" prices, because page count, custom functionality and who writes the content change the scope. You get a written quote before any work starts.
Do the prices include hosting and a domain?
Hosting is set up as part of a web build, and the domain is registered in your name. Ongoing hosting management is optional for a small monthly fee, or you can take over the hosting yourself. Ask for the exact figures in your quote.
What if my budget is below KES 50,000?
Then a full custom build is probably not the right fit yet. The guides cover what you can do yourself in the meantime, and you can message me on WhatsApp with what you need and I will say honestly whether a smaller scope makes sense or whether to wait.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Nobody can guarantee a position on Google, and a provider who promises one is a red flag. What I commit to is the deliverables in the scope, reported against numbers you can check yourself.
