How do projects start?
Every project starts with a free 30-minute consultation. We then send a fixed quote and timeline in Kenya shillings (KES), or in USD if you prefer.
What are your engagement models?
Free consultation; fixed-price starters from KES 7,500; team training from KES 25,000; strategy sprint from KES 60,000 (2–4 weeks); PoC or MVP build from KES 250,000 (4–12 weeks); and a dedicated AI team from KES 150,000 per month.
Are your prices in Kenya shillings?
Yes. Every price on this site is set in KES, because that is what our clients earn and pay in. Use the KES / USD switch at the top of any page if you are outside Kenya and want to see dollars. We quote and invoice in whichever currency suits you.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes. Starters take 50% to begin and 50% on delivery, and you can split either half into smaller M-Pesa payments. Larger builds are paid in milestones (30% to start, 40% at the working demo, 30% on handover) so your cash flow stays comfortable.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Any fixed-price starter can be split into two or three M-Pesa or bank payments, and larger builds are paid by milestone. Ask for the schedule when you book and we will put it in the quote.
Are prices inclusive of VAT?
Prices are before VAT. Where VAT (16% in Kenya) applies, it is shown on your quote and invoice. We issue a proper tax invoice for every payment.
How long does a PoC or MVP take?
A proof of concept typically takes 4–6 weeks and an MVP 8–12 weeks, with weekly demos throughout.
How long does a website or web app take?
Small websites take 2–4 weeks; business web applications 8–16 weeks.
Which payment methods do you accept?
M-Pesa (Paybill or Till), Airtel Money, bank transfer, cards (Visa, Mastercard) and Paystack or Flutterwave. We invoice in KES or USD.
I run a business outside Kenya. Can I pay in my own currency?
Yes. Clients elsewhere in Africa can pay in US dollars, or in their local currency through Paystack or Flutterwave where it is supported (for example Nigerian naira, Ghanaian cedi, South African rand, Ugandan or Tanzanian shillings and Rwandan francs). Ask us for a quote in the currency you prefer.
Do you offer startup or NGO pricing?
Yes, lean startup packages and impact pricing for NGOs are available. Mention it when you book.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes, monthly support plans cover hosting, security updates, backups and small improvements.
