Website and app for your business in Kigali
6 min read
A simple website or phone app can help customers find you, see your prices, and message you on WhatsApp. You do not need a big tech project to start.
Who this is for: Shops, cafes, hotels, NGOs, and small companies in Kigali
You do not need a big tech project
Many businesses in Kigali still get customers from WhatsApp, Instagram, and word of mouth. That is fine. A website or app is useful when people cannot find you, cannot see what you sell, or keep asking the same questions.
We start small. First a clear website. Later an app, only if you really need one.
What a website can do for you
A good website for a Rwanda business is usually enough if it does these things:
- check_circleShows who you are, where you are, and how to reach you
- check_circleLists what you sell, with prices or a “message us for a quote” button
- check_circleOpens WhatsApp in one tap
- check_circleShows up when someone searches Google for your kind of business in Kigali
- check_circleWorks well on a phone — most people will not use a computer
When you need an app (not always)
An app on the phone is extra work to build and extra work for customers to download. Start with a website unless you have a clear reason.
- check_circleYour staff take orders or bookings every day and a website is too slow
- check_circleCustomers come back often (deliveries, loyalty, members, students)
- check_circleYou need something that works with weak internet or offline
- check_circleYou already have a website and it is getting too much traffic or too many messages to handle by hand
What we can build
We are in Kigali. We build practical things, not complicated systems you will never use.
- check_circleA website for your shop, cafe, hotel, clinic, school, or company
- check_circleA simple booking or order page
- check_circleA phone app when a website is no longer enough
- check_circleWhatsApp buttons and MoMo payment instructions on the site
- check_circleHelp putting your business on Google Maps
How it works
No long process. We talk, we agree on a small first version, then we build it.
- check_circleYou tell us what customers ask you every day
- check_circleWe suggest a website, an app, or both — and say if you can wait
- check_circleWe build a first version you can show people
- check_circleYou test it, we fix what is confusing, then we put it online
What to send us when you write
A short WhatsApp or form is enough. Tell us what you sell, who your customers are, and whether you already have a Facebook page, Instagram, or WhatsApp Business.
Common questions
How much does a website in Kigali cost?
It depends on the pages you need. A simple site with your story, services, photos, location, and WhatsApp is much cheaper than a full shop or booking system. Message us and we will give you a clear range before we start.
Do I need both a website and an app?
Usually no. Most businesses in Kigali should start with a website that works on phones. We only suggest an app if customers will use it again and again.
Can the site be in English and Kinyarwanda?
Yes. Many of our pages already work in both. We can do the same for your website so local and visitor customers both understand you.
