06 / Good to know
Common questions
Clear answers before we begin.
Good projects start with clear expectations. These answers cover scope, delivery, content, ownership and support.
01Which service or package should I choose?
You do not need to choose perfectly before contacting me. Share what you want to achieve, who it is for, your timeline and approximate budget. I will recommend the most suitable package or prepare a custom scope when needed.
02How long will my project take?
Standard websites normally take between two and six weeks, depending on the selected package and how quickly content and feedback are supplied. Online stores and custom software may require more time. Your proposal includes milestones and an estimated delivery schedule.
03What do you need from me before work begins?
I normally need your project goals, intended audience, required pages or features, brand materials, available content and access to any existing website. If some items are not ready, I can help organise the requirements during discovery.
04Can you improve an existing WordPress website?
Yes. I can redesign, restructure, optimise or extend an existing WordPress website while retaining useful content and functionality. I first review the installation, theme, plugins, hosting and technical condition before confirming the safest approach.
05Do you provide writing and website content?
Yes. Website copy, technology articles, technical explainers and ongoing search-led content are available as separate writing packages. Development packages include uploading supplied content; original writing is priced separately.
06Will I own the finished website or software?
Yes. Once the agreed balance is paid, you receive ownership of the custom work created for your project and the relevant website or application access. Third-party themes, plugins, fonts, APIs and services remain subject to their own licences.
07What happens after the website launches?
Every development package includes a defined post-launch support period. After that, you can manage the website independently or choose an ongoing care package for updates, backups, monitoring, content changes and technical support.
08Can you add AI features to an existing product?
Yes, when it solves a clearly defined problem. Suitable uses may include guided search, information assistance, content workflows or repetitive operational tasks. I assess the use case, safeguards, running costs and expected value before implementation.
09Can we work together if I am outside Nairobi or Kenya?
Yes. Projects can be handled remotely through scheduled calls, written updates, shared review links and clear milestones. International projects can be quoted in US dollars where appropriate.
07 / Start a conversation
Have a project in mind?
Tell me what you need. Let’s shape it, build it and launch it properly.
Whether you need a professional website, custom software, an online store or technology content, share the idea, the problem and your expected timeline.
I’ll recommend the right approach and provide a clear quotation before work begins.
