When a client needs a plumber, a cleaner, or a contractor, they don't flip through a phonebook anymore. They search online. Your website is often their first impression—and if it doesn't showcase your work, make booking easy, and build trust instantly, they'll move on to the next option. For service and construction businesses in Kenya, a professional website isn't just marketing—it's your 24/7 sales team, booking system, and portfolio all in one. We build platforms that help you win more work, serve clients better, and grow your business.
🔨 Serving the service & construction sector: Just as we build healthcare portals, education platforms, and e-commerce stores, our service and construction practice combines technical excellence with deep understanding of quoting, scheduling, and client communication. We speak your language—from before-and-after portfolios to progress payment tracking.
Digital Challenges Facing Service & Construction Companies

How much does a service or construction website cost in Kenya?
Projects typically range from KES 65,000–95,000 for small service businesses (basic information, service listings, contact forms); KES 100,000–180,000 for growing service companies (online booking, M-Pesa integration, portfolio galleries); and KES 200,000+ for construction firms and multi-location service companies (client portals, staff scheduling, CRM integration). Every quote is customized based on your services, booking needs, and business size.
How does online booking work for service businesses?
Our booking system allows clients to view your availability, select a service, choose a date and time, and book instantly. Features include: calendar sync with your team's availability, automated email and SMS confirmations, reminder notifications before appointments (reduces no-shows), rescheduling and cancellation options, and integration with M-Pesa for deposits or full payment. You can manage all bookings from a simple dashboard.
Can clients pay deposits via M-Pesa on my website?
Yes. Our M-Pesa integration (STK Push) allows clients to pay deposits, progress payments, or final balances directly from your site. The customer enters their phone number at checkout, receives an STK push prompt, and authorizes payment with their PIN. You receive instant confirmation, and the payment is recorded against the booking automatically. No sensitive payment details are stored on your website.
How long does it take to build a service company website?
A basic service site takes 2–3 weeks. A site with online booking and M-Pesa integration takes 4–5 weeks. A construction or multi-location platform with client portals and staff scheduling takes 6–8 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during consultation and work efficiently to get you online.
Can clients request quotes online?
Yes—our quote request forms capture all the information you need: project type, size, location, photos or documents, timeline, and budget. You can set up automated responses acknowledging receipt, and your team can review and send quotes back through the system. For simple services, we can even build automated instant quoting based on your pricing structure.
How do client portals work for construction projects?
Client portals provide a secure space for project communication. Clients can: view project timeline and milestones, receive and approve quotes, download contracts and documents, track progress with photos and updates, message your team directly, make payments via M-Pesa or card, and request variations or changes. Everything is documented and accessible 24/7—no more chasing emails or WhatsApp messages.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for service websites?
Yes. Our maintenance packages include security updates and patches, daily automated backups, performance monitoring, booking system support, content updates (new services, portfolio items), and 24/7 technical support for urgent issues. Your website is often the first interaction clients have with your business—we keep it running smoothly.
Can you integrate with my existing business software?
Yes. We integrate with accounting software (QuickBooks, Sage, local ERPs), CRM systems for client management, Google Calendar or Outlook for staff scheduling, and payment gateways. For construction firms, we can connect with project management tools and job costing systems. We build custom API connections to ensure seamless data flow.
