Global web consulting from Nairobi, Kenya
We build websites and the online tools behind them, on the software that fits. We connect them to the systems you already use. We put the numbers where you can read them. All of it sits in accounts you own. We write a plain guide for whoever comes after us. Then we keep it working, month by month.
If someone sent you here, tell us their name. We will start from what they told you.

Proof
We built our own dashboard this way. Since May 2026 we have read it every working day. It shows revenue (the money coming in) against target, cash collected and work in progress. Each figure comes straight from the record that made it. Nobody types it in.
The example alongside shows the same view for a different kind of organisation. This one sells through its website, takes payment online and keeps its stock in a separate system. The figures are invented. The shape is not. Every tile names the system it reads from. Nobody retypes a number.

Illustrative example for a business that sells online. Every figure is invented; the layout is the one we build.
Scope
Public websites. Members' portals and programme portals. Online shops, and the online tools that run behind them. We build on the software your website runs on: Shopify, WordPress and Drupal are the main ones. Where that software would get in the way, we build the tool from scratch. Everything is in your organisation's name from day one. You get a plain written guide to how it is built and how to change it.
You already use systems: your website, forms, payments, accounts, stock or programme records. We connect them so they share the same information. It lands in one place you own. Then you get one screen that shows what is happening across the organisation. The numbers come straight from the systems, not from the people reporting on them. Some of the tasks in that flow repeat every week, and AI can do some of them. AI here means software that does a repeated task on its own, with a person still responsible. Where it can do a task reliably, we put it to work, and we say where it cannot yet.
Google Analytics is the free report of who visits your website. Meta is Facebook and Instagram ads. Search Console is Google's own report of your search traffic. Your sales system knows what was paid for. Each tells part of the story, and each has a reason to flatter itself. We join them into one view, every number taken straight from the system that made it. Then you can see which sources bring money in, which spend is wasted, and what to change next. We are not paid by any of the tools we measure.
Method
A call, then a short written plan. We look at what you have, who uses it and what breaks. Then we say in writing what we would build or fix, in what order, and what it would cost.
Your domain name, hosting, code and data are in your organisation's name from the first day. We work inside them under a login you can remove. Nothing depends on an account of ours. The same holds for the connections and the dashboard: they read from your accounts and live in them.
A plain written guide to how the system is put together, where everything lives and how to change it. Your own people, or whoever comes after us, can pick it up without us in the room.
Websites break quietly. The small security file a website needs to stay open runs out. An add-on updates. A form stops sending. The retainer is a monthly arrangement. We keep the site patched and backed up, and we answer when something breaks. Once a month you get a short note of what was done and what is coming. When something does stop working, we find the cause and fix it. Then we write down why, so it does not happen twice.
What you own
Everything. It all sits in your accounts, with a written guide for whoever comes next. The retainer keeps it working. Stopping it does not take anything away.
Who does the work
Erick Kagai, our principal, leads every project and does the build work himself. If a job needs a specialist, say a designer, we bring that person in by name. You meet them.
Work
Described by sector. Client names are added as each client approves naming. Some of this work is the websites and portals underneath. The connected systems described above sit on top of them.
National programme
The programme is run by a ministry and paid for by donors. We rebuilt its public website on Drupal. The work is delivered in paid blocks of days, and the programme lead signs off each block. Work in progress.
Non-governmental organisation
A non-governmental organisation that works on climate resilience has three domain names and a Drupal site. We keep the domain names registered and the site reachable. We work with the organisation's own developer, so it all stays in one pair of hands.
Insurance
A public website for an agency that resells personal accident cover, with an enquiry form that reaches the agency. One day the form's emails silently stopped. We found a switched-off key and a blocked address, and put both right.
Apparel brand
A purchasing tool for an apparel brand's warehouse: purchase orders, goods received and back stock. It reads stock live from the warehouse system. Low stock and incoming orders sit on one screen. Delivered as a working system for the client's review.
Our own business
Revenue against target, cash collected and work in progress, read from our own records every morning. Built, hosted and written up the way we build for clients. In daily use since May 2026.
Trading venture
A one-page website for a trading venture, built and hosted on a domain in the client's name. The client then asked us to put it behind a password while the venture prepared its launch.
Questions
Shopify, WordPress and Drupal are the ones we work in most. We choose the software for your organisation, not for us. We also take over sites that someone else built, once we have read how they were put together.
You do. All of it is in your organisation's name and lives in its accounts, under your login. You can remove our access at any time and nothing stops working.
Usually, yes. Most systems have a way to read and write their data. Where one does not, we work from the files it can export, on a set schedule. We start by mapping what you run and where you cannot see what is happening. The written plan then says which connections to build first.
A screen that reads from your systems as they are, not from a report someone prepared. Stock next to incoming orders. Enquiries next to the pages they came from. Revenue against the target you set. We run our own business on exactly this. The example above shows the shape of it.
Inside the connecting work, on the tasks your people repeat every week. Sorting enquiries. Drafting the first reply. Matching records. Summing up documents. We put AI on the parts it can do reliably, inside your accounts. We say plainly where it will not help yet.
The other half of the picture. Google Analytics only knows about visits. Your sales system knows what was actually paid for. Each tool reports on itself. We join them on one screen, on the same terms. Then you can see which sources bring money in and which spend to stop.
No. The same screen reads search, links from other sites, email and direct sales. Ads are one more source when you run them. The point is to see every source on the same terms.
Everything keeps running and stays yours. What stops is our work: the patching, the backups and the monthly note. You also lose the same-day answer when something breaks. Someone on your side takes those over. The written guide is made for exactly that.
Each project is priced on what it actually needs. So there are no packages and no published prices. We talk it through on the discovery call. Then we put it in writing with the plan.
Next step
A discovery call is thirty minutes, on the phone or on video, with nothing to prepare. Bring the site that needs building, or the systems that do not talk to each other. Or bring the numbers you do not trust. We will say what we would do, what it would take, and whether we are the right people for it.
