Faztech Websites

Wondering how to get a website for your business in Kenya without the tech headache or a scary bill? You are in the right place. Whether you run a shop in Nairobi, a school in Eldoret, a SACCO, an NGO, or an online hustle, a good website helps customers find you, trust you, and buy from you. This beginner-friendly guide shows you exactly how to get a website for your business in Kenya, step by step, in plain language — so you can go from idea to a live site with confidence.

What is the quickest way to get a website for your business in Kenya?

The quickest way to get a website for your business in Kenya is to decide your goal, gather your basic content (logo, text and photos), choose a fixed-price package that fits your needs, secure a domain name, and let a developer build it. With Faztech Websites you can order a website online, pay a 50% deposit to start, track progress, and pay the balance before your site goes live. Smaller sites can be ready in a matter of days once your content is in.

Step 1: What do you want your website to do?

Before anything else, get clear on your goal. This one decision shapes everything that follows. Ask yourself what success looks like.

  • Look credible — a simple site so customers can find and trust you (a landing page or small portfolio).
  • Show your services — a multi-page site explaining what you offer, with a contact form and gallery.
  • Sell online — an online store with a cart, checkout and M-Pesa or card payments.
  • Manage members or clients — a web app with user accounts, logins or a dashboard.

Write your goal in one sentence. That clarity makes the whole process faster and cheaper.

Step 2: What content do you need to gather first?

Most delays happen because the content is not ready, not because building takes long. Collect these before you start:

  • Your logo — or at least your business name and preferred colours.
  • Text — a short "About us", your services, and why customers should choose you.
  • Photos — clear pictures of your products, premises or team (phone photos are fine if well lit).
  • Contact details — phone, WhatsApp number, email, location and business hours.

Do not worry about perfect wording. A good developer will help polish and arrange everything for you.

Step 3: Which type or package is right for you?

You do not need to guess your budget. Faztech uses clear fixed KES prices, so you know the full cost upfront with no surprises.

  • Small — KSh 5,000: up to about 5 pages, ideal for a landing page or portfolio.
  • Medium — KSh 15,000: a multi-page custom site with a content system (CMS) and integrations.
  • Large — KSh 20,000: backend-heavy sites with user accounts, dashboards or custom features.
  • E-commerce — KSh 25,000: a full online store with cart, checkout and payments.

Not sure which fits? You can compare all the packages on the pricing page or reach out and describe your business — we will point you to the right one.

Step 4: How do you get a domain name?

Your domain is your web address, like yourbusiness.co.ke or .com. Tips for choosing one:

  • Keep it short, easy to spell and easy to say over the phone.
  • A .co.ke domain signals you are a local Kenyan business and is often available.
  • Match it to your business name where possible.

If domains feel confusing, do not stress. When you order, we can advise on a good name and help you get it set up alongside your site, so it is one less thing to handle.

Step 5: How do you work with a developer or order online?

You do not need any technical skills to get a website for your business in Kenya. With Faztech the process is designed to be simple and stress-free:

  1. Choose your package and place your order online at the order page.
  2. Pay a 50% deposit to get started. Payments go through Paystack, which supports M-Pesa, cards and bank transfer.
  3. Share your content — send your logo, text and photos, and describe what you like.
  4. Track progress as your site is built, and share feedback along the way.
  5. Pay the balance before delivery — never more than the fixed package price.

That 50% deposit model keeps things fair: you commit a little to begin, see real progress, then settle up when you are happy.

Step 6: How should you review your site before it goes live?

Before launch, take a few minutes to check the details. Look through every page and confirm:

  • Your phone number, WhatsApp and email are correct and clickable.
  • Spelling and prices are accurate.
  • The site opens well and loads fast on a phone, not just a computer.
  • Buttons like "Order", "Call" or "WhatsApp" actually work.

Once you approve, your developer publishes the site and it becomes live for the whole world to see.

What makes a good small-business website in Kenya?

A great Kenyan website is built around how your customers actually behave. Focus on these essentials:

  • Mobile-first: many Kenyans browse on their phones, so the site must look and work well on mobile.
  • WhatsApp button: a one-tap WhatsApp link lets customers chat instantly, the way many prefer to buy.
  • M-Pesa friendly payments: for stores, accepting M-Pesa (widely used across Kenya) removes friction at checkout.
  • Fast loading: a light, quick site keeps visitors from leaving, even on slower connections.
  • Clear call to action: make it obvious how to call, order or visit you.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

Cost is simple: a fixed KES price per package (from KSh 5,000), with a 50% deposit to start and the balance before delivery. You will never pay more than the package price. Timelines depend on the size of the site and how quickly you share your content — smaller sites can be ready in just a few days once everything is provided, while larger, backend-heavy sites and online stores take a little longer.
