Welcome to Haryes Web Developers

Web Design, Development and Online Solutions for Businesses Across Kenya and International Markets

Why you should have your own website

Not a social media page you do not control, and not a directory listing. Your own site, on your own domain, doing four jobs at once.

    No billboard available to you today works as hard as a website. If you sell across a counter, you should be selling on a screen as well. Where shipping costs do not add up, take the order online and let the buyer collect in store. You reach a far wider audience that way, and you cushion the business against disruption by keeping one income stream running when another is interrupted. The customers who already favour you, because they like you and trust the name, will buy from you online just as willingly as they do in person. Give them the opportunity.

  2. is your first impression

    Showing up in the physical world no longer covers it. We occupy a digital one too, where anyone can look a business up, check what it claims and satisfy themselves it is genuine within seconds. Having no website is not simply awkward, it leaves buyers uneasy. Would you hand your money to a company you cannot find anywhere online? Build a presence that reads as credible and established, because an online first impression is never offered twice and the alternative is a single click away.

  3. closes sales

    Roughly 88% of shoppers look a product up online before parting with money, whether the purchase finally happens on a screen or across a counter, and a striking 93% say reviews shape what they decide to buy. Winning trust is not an optional step in closing a sale, because nobody buys from a business they have doubts about. The people weighing you up want to reassure themselves that choosing you is a sound decision, and they will go looking for that reassurance online. Make it easy to find.

  4. for you 24/7

    Recent progress in AI has put genuinely capable chatbots within reach of ordinary businesses, so you can answer questions and take orders at any hour for very little additional outlay. One recent study found as many as 64% of internet users naming round-the-clock support as the benefit they value most. Sentiment is broadly favourable too: more than half of internet users say they are satisfied dealing with chatbots, and roughly 60% of millennials already turn to them regularly when buying everyday goods.

    See what we build

Our most requested build

Online stores are what most businesses come to us for. Here is what goes into one that sells.

A hand holding a phone showing a Kenyan e-commerce app with product listings priced in KES and an M-Pesa checkoutE-commerce build

E-commerce websites built for how Kenyans actually buy

M-Pesa STK Push checkout through the Safaricom Daraja API, so a customer pays from the same phone they are browsing on. Plus delivery-zone pricing, eTIMS-ready invoicing, and a storefront tuned to stay fast on mobile data.

Why this holds up

Architecture is copyable. These aren’t.

Original research

Two studies a year on the Kenyan digital market that the rest of the field has to cite.

Real, named proof

Case studies with client names and real numbers, not stock claims.

A visible performance gap

Our sites load in under two seconds. Verify it yourself with PageSpeed Insights.

The local operational moat

M-Pesa, eTIMS, KeNIC, the Data Protection Act, Kenyan network conditions.

Radical pricing transparency

Real KES figures published, in a market built on “contact us for a quote”.

Early ownership of AI search

Defining AEO and GEO for Kenya before anyone else sells it.

Reach

Local proof, and sector knowledge

We work with businesses across Kenya and build the site around where your buyers are and what your sector actually needs online, the pages they look for, the proof they trust, the systems the site has to connect to.

A location or industry page only goes live when it carries real proof for that place or field, never boilerplate with a name swapped in.

Best when you need

A website built around your town and your industry, not a generic template.

Process

How a project runs, start to launch

Every project follows the same written process, so you always know which stage the work is in and what happens next. You see it develop on a staging server rather than waiting for a reveal at the end.

Before anything starts you get a written scope with a fixed price and fixed dates, and it does not move unless you change the scope.

Best when you need

Dates you can plan around, and no surprises at the end.

Discovery and scope

A working session on the business, the audience and the goal, then a written scope you approve.

Structure and design

Pages and URLs mapped, then templates designed in Figma and reviewed with you before code is written.

Development

Hand-coded on a staging server you can open at any time, held to the performance budget.

Content and QA

A pre-publish checklist on every page, tested on a real mid-tier Android phone.

Launch and handover

Old URLs redirected in one hop, then the code, accounts, training and documentation are yours.

After launch

Take a maintenance plan or run the site in-house with the documentation we hand over.

Knowledge

Eight clusters, mapped to the Kenyan web

Our writing is organised into topic clusters, each planned around the questions Kenyan business owners actually search, not a blog of whatever we felt like posting.

The two that carry the most weight are e-commerce in Kenya (the local moat) and AI search (the category play).

Best when you need

To understand the subject before you hire anyone, every sales-call answer is already written down.

Screens are easy. Behaviour is hard.

A website is a sequence of small decisions a stranger makes about spending money with you. These are the ones that decide whether they finish.

  • Attention

    You get a few seconds on a mid-range phone before the back button. The first screen has to say what you do, for whom, and what to do next.

    So the page states it plainly, before the design does anything clever.

  • Effort

    Every extra field, click or unexplained step costs completions. People abandon forms they could finish, simply because the path looked long.

    So we ask for the minimum and show how far along they are.

  • Trust

    A business a buyer has never heard of is a stranger asking for money. Prices, real photographs, named people and a physical address do more than any badge.

    So proof sits where the hesitation happens, not in a footer.

  • Clarity

    Vague copy transfers the work to the reader. Industry language, unexplained packages and hidden prices all read as something being withheld.

    So we write the number, the timeline and the exclusion.

  • Anxiety

    Money makes people nervous, especially at the point of payment or an enquiry they think commits them to something.

    So the page says what happens next, and what it does not oblige you to.

  • Momentum

    A visitor who is ready to act and cannot find how to do it will not search for it. The action has to be present wherever the decision is made.

    So WhatsApp, the call and the form are one tap from every section.

None of this is decoration. It is the difference between a site that is visited and a site that produces work, and it is applied on every build we do.

Which of these is you

Three situations. One outcome: a site you own that brings in work.

  1. No website yet

    You have been running on referrals, a Facebook page or WhatsApp, and you need something credible that buyers can check before they call.

  2. An outdated site

    You have a site, but it is slow, hard to edit, or no longer reflects the business. It gets rebuilt without losing the rankings it already has.

  3. Selling online

    You need a store built for how Kenyans actually buy: M-Pesa checkout, delivery zones and eTIMS-ready invoicing.

Not sure which one fits? Start from the deliverable and we will route the enquiry.

Why we built Haryes this way

A Kenyan business should be able to buy a website the way it buys anything else serious: a fixed scope, a fixed price, and something it owns at the end. That is the whole standard, and we hold it on every project.

Common questions

What does Haryes Web Developers do?

Haryes Web Developers is a Nairobi-based agency that designs and builds custom websites, WordPress and Shopify e-commerce stores, and custom web applications, and provides SEO, digital marketing and website maintenance to businesses across Kenya.

Where is Haryes Web Developers based?

Haryes Web Developers is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and works with clients across the country. Contact: +254 718 637 186, mmboheharyes@gmail.com.

How much does a website cost in Kenya?

It depends on the number of pages, whether it sells online, and how much custom design and content is involved. Haryes publishes a fixed price for every tier on its pricing pages rather than asking you to request a quote, and the number you are quoted after a scoping call is fixed for the agreed work.

How long does it take to build a website?

A standard business website takes two to three weeks from signed scope to launch. A WordPress or Shopify store with M-Pesa checkout takes three to four weeks. A custom web application is quoted case by case. Every proposal carries fixed dates, not an open-ended estimate.

Do I own the website when it is finished?

Yes, completely. The source code is delivered in a repository registered to your business, the hosting account is in your name with billing you control, and the domain is registered to you through an accredited registrar. Haryes keeps nothing as leverage.

Does Haryes build with page builders like Elementor?

No. Haryes builds on custom-coded themes and hand-written front-end code. Page builders add weight and fragility that make it hard to hold a site to the under-two-second load target.

Can Haryes integrate M-Pesa payments?

Yes. Haryes builds M-Pesa STK Push checkout through the Safaricom Daraja API, so customers pay from the same phone they are browsing on, with the amount pre-filled and the order confirmed automatically once payment clears.
