Web Design & Development in Eldoret

The questions are always the same, and most institutional sites answer none of them clearly: what does it cost, when does the next intake open, what are the entry requirements, what documents are needed, what happens after the application, and who do I call.

Publishing the fee structure is the decision institutions resist most. What actually happens when it is hidden is that families assume the worst, or the front office spends its day answering a question the page should have answered. Publishing it filters enquiries down to families who can proceed.

The calendar is the second half. Intake dates, application deadlines, term dates and open days have to be current on the day somebody looks, which means the pages must be editable by the administration without a developer. We build them that way, because a page that needs a support ticket to change will not be changed.

Remotely, with scoping and review calls, a written scope and a fixed price agreed before anything is built, and photography or on-site training planned into the scope where the project needs it.

The commercial terms are the published ones on our pricing pages, and the code, domain and hosting are registered in your name from the start rather than in ours.

The same published prices apply: the levels and figures on the website design cost page, with SEO and maintenance priced on their own pages, and no adjustment for where the client is based.

Excluded items are stated before work starts: photography, copywriting where you are not supplying it, hosting, the domain, and any ongoing plan. For an institution, the item worth budgeting for is usually photography that shows the place as it actually is.

Eldoret also hosts a visitor economy the rest of the country does not: the high-altitude training camps and the athletes, coaches and agents who come for them, many from outside Kenya. Camps, lodges and physiotherapy or sports-medicine practices serving that market are selling to people booking from abroad, often months ahead, who need altitude and facility detail, transfer arrangements from the airport, and a way to enquire in their own time zone. A site written for that reader converts a booking; one written for a general audience does not.

The same applies to Eldoret’s transport and logistics operators working the northern corridor. Their buyers are checking lanes served, transit times, cross-border documentation and insurance cover before they call, and most of them will look at three providers in one sitting. Publishing the coverage and the terms, and answering the enquiry within the hour, decides more of that work than anything else the website does.

For any of those businesses, the sequence we would suggest is the same: a complete Google Business Profile, a site that says plainly what you do and at what price, WhatsApp as the primary enquiry route, and content only once those three are in place.

It is a cheaper programme than most Eldoret businesses expect, and in a region where competitors publish very little, it is usually enough to take the enquiries that were previously decided by referral alone.
