Small business website building in Kenya

Build a small business website around verified services and a clear enquiry task.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional website WEB-81 builds a five-page site for 'Mtoni Cycle Workshop', a made-up bicycle repair business: home, services, process, about and contact. Original sample home copy: 'Bicycle repairs by appointment. Tell us the problem and bring your bicycle for assessment; staff confirm work and price before starting.' The enquiry form requests name, one callback method and a short message. Output is a staging prototype, approved live build only when authorised, owner handover and test log. Payments, customer accounts, booking automation and guaranteed search traffic are excluded.

Who is the first customer?

Owner-managed firms needing a manageable web presence.
