Business websites, designed and built in Harare
I design, write and build mobile-first websites for businesses in Zimbabwe whose customers look them up before getting in touch. When someone finds you, they see what you do, real proof of it and a one-tap way to message you on WhatsApp.
Websites
01
Who it's for
- Businesses that already sell on WhatsApp and want a website that sends people straight there.
- Businesses with good work to show, sitting in photos on a phone, and nowhere online to show it.
- Businesses with an outdated website, or one that doesn't make clear what they offer.
- Businesses offering several services under one name, where customers need to find the right one quickly.

How it works
Collect the questions.
You tell me what customers ask you over and over and what you want them to do next. Those answers become the sections of the site.
Gather the proof.
You send photos of real jobs, products or premises. I choose the strongest and prepare them so they load quickly on a phone.
Build and check.
I build the site and you check it on your own phone before anyone else sees it. We adjust it together until it reads right.
Go live on your domain.
The site goes live on your domain, with every button tested against your WhatsApp number and the search data in place.

Questions about Websites
Who writes the words on my website?
I do. I write the copy from what you tell me about your business and your customers, and you read and adjust it before anything goes live.
You don't need to be a writer. Your own words in a WhatsApp message, an old flyer or a price list are enough to start from.
Does my website need lots of pages?
Not necessarily. One well-structured page can be enough when each section answers something customers need to know.
Pawafactory's site is a single page with a section for each of its three trades. LaGraphico's has 10 homepage sections plus a gallery of the studio's work.
Will my website load on a slow connection?
Yes, that's planned for from the start. Images are compressed, phones get lighter versions and there are no forms or servers to wait on, so pages stay quick on mobile data.
Can I use my own photos instead of stock images?
Yes, and you should. Real photos show customers what you actually do, which stock images can't.
LaGraphico's site shows 9 real client jobs and 11 client logos. If your photos are on your phone, send them as they are and I'll prepare them for the web.
