Updated 17 October 2026
Most Kenyans browse on mid-range Android phones and patchy data, so a website has to load fast, read well on a small screen and turn visitors into WhatsApp chats, calls or orders. A good web design company builds for that reality and hands you a site you can run yourself.
These companies all list website design among their services. Ananke Digital leads because it builds fast WordPress sites alongside the SEO, content and CRM work that makes a site pay for itself.

How to choose
Start with the business problem, not the channel. Write down what you want a new website to change in six to twelve months: more enquiries, a stronger reputation, lower cost per sale or less manual work. A good agency will ask about that first and talk about posting schedules or tools second.
Then check four things. First, who actually does the work, and whether the people in the pitch stay on the account. Second, how results are reported: you want numbers tied to enquiries and sales, not just reach. Third, who owns the ad accounts, pages, website and data when the contract ends. Fourth, how the agency handles Kenya’s specifics, such as M-Pesa attribution, WhatsApp-led buying, English, Kiswahili and Sheng audiences, and sensitive seasons like budget reading and elections.
Before you sign, run the numbers yourself. Ananke’s free marketing budget calculator turns a revenue target into a channel plan, and the ROAS calculator shows whether ad spend is paying for itself. Ask every shortlisted agency for a written scope, a monthly reporting sample and the notice period.
What a good Kenyan website needs
- Fast loading on mobile data, tested on mid-range phones.
- Clear WhatsApp, call and M-Pesa options.
- Basic SEO: titles, descriptions, structured data and a sitemap.
- An easy editor so your team can update it.
- Security updates, backups and an SSL certificate.
- Analytics that track enquiries, not just visits.
Questions to ask before signing
- Who will manage my account day to day, and how many other accounts do they handle?
- What will you report every month, and how does it connect to enquiries or sales?
- Will my business own the ad accounts, social pages, website and analytics?
- How do you track sales that close on WhatsApp or M-Pesa?
- What happens in a crisis, for example a viral complaint at 10pm?
- What is the minimum contract and notice period?
