What does a project cost?

A marketing website generally lands between ETB 150,000 and 600,000. Custom platforms and enterprise systems are quoted after discovery, because a fixed price before scope is either padded or wrong. Retained marketing starts at ETB 45,000 per month.

How long does delivery take?

Marketing sites run four to eight weeks. Mobile apps and custom platforms typically run three to six months, delivered in two-week increments so you see working software throughout.

Yes. On final payment you receive full source code, infrastructure access and documentation. We do not hold clients hostage to their own systems.

What happens after launch?

Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. Beyond that, most clients move to a managed plan covering hosting, monitoring, updates and a support desk.

Can you take over a system someone else built?

Often, yes. We start with a technical audit that tells you honestly whether the existing codebase is worth continuing or replacing — including when the answer costs us the bigger project.

Do you run marketing for sites you did not build?

Yes, though we will ask to fix tracking and page speed first. Spending on ads that point at a slow, untracked page wastes your budget and our time.

Rollout subcontractor

Every site in a national rollout, on one map

How we work

No surprises, by design

Most software projects fail quietly, months before anyone admits it. Ours are deliberately uneventful.

The price you agreed

Fixed after discovery, in writing. Scope changes are quoted before they happen, not added to an invoice afterwards.

The date you agreed

A working demo every two weeks, so slippage shows up in fourteen days rather than five months.

The team you met

The people in the pitch are the people who build it. No quiet handover to a bench you never saw.

Our process

A working demo every two weeks

Most failed projects fail quietly, months before anyone admits it. There is no six-month silence here — our process is built so that cannot happen without you noticing.

Discover

We map the business problem, the people it touches and the systems already in play — before anyone opens a design tool.

Define

Scope, architecture and success metrics written down and agreed. You approve a plan, not a vague direction.

Design

Prototypes you can click through and react to. We change things on screen, while changing them is cheap.

Build

Two-week increments with a working demo at the end of each. No six-month silence followed by a surprise.

Launch

Migration, training and a monitored go-live. We are in the room on day one, not on a support ticket.

Grow

Analytics, iteration and marketing that compounds what you have built. Most of our work is with clients we already have.
