How to Get a Website for My Business in Kenya: Fast, Affordable, Effective
3 paths to get a website for my business in Kenya
Choose based on your budget, timeline, and growth goals.
Path 1: DIY with a builder (KES 2,000–5,000/month)
Use Wix, WordPress.com, or Squarespace. Fast to start, but limited for M-Pesa, SEO, and scaling. Best for: testing an idea or very simple service businesses.
Path 2: Freelancer on a budget (KES 20,000–50,000 one-time)
Hire a local freelancer via WhatsApp groups or Facebook. Risk: inconsistent quality, no contract, limited support. Only choose this if you can vet their live portfolio thoroughly.
Path 3: Professional Kenyan agency (KES 35,000–150,000 one-time)
Fixed scope, written contract, local support, and ROI-focused design. This is the path we recommend for serious businesses. See our transparent tiers on pricing.
