FAQ

Common questions

What types of businesses do you work with?

We work with startups, SMEs, NGOs, and enterprises across Kenya and East Africa. Our clients range from early-stage founders needing their first MVP to established companies looking to modernise their infrastructure or tighten security.

How long does an app or website project take?

A typical landing page or marketing website takes 2–4 weeks. A full e-commerce or web app project is usually 6–12 weeks. Mobile apps range from 8–16 weeks depending on complexity. We always share a detailed timeline after the discovery call.

Do you support regulated environments (banks, fintech, public sector)?

Yes. Our security work maps to CIS Benchmarks, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and the Kenya Data Protection Act. We tailor all artifacts for auditors and risk committees.

Which cloud platforms do you support?

We specialise in Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We also work with Cloudflare for networking and edge, and can support hybrid or multi-cloud environments.

Can I get ongoing support after my project is delivered?

Absolutely. We offer monthly retainer packages for development, hosting management, security monitoring, and general IT support. Most clients move to a retainer after their initial project is complete.

How quickly can we get started?

We typically schedule a discovery call within 48 hours of your enquiry. Most projects kick off within 1–2 weeks of signing an agreement.
