Beyond Code — We Build Complete Digital Products

Every app project includes strategy, design, development, testing, deployment and post-launch support. You don’t just get a codebase — you get a product that works in the real world, designed around how users in Kenya and across Africa actually behave.

UX/UI design — wireframes and mockups before any code is written

M-Pesa integration — Daraja API STK push, C2B, B2C, fully tested

Admin dashboard — web-based control panel for managing users and transactions

Push notifications — re-engage users with targeted messages

Store deployment — Google Play Store and Apple App Store submission handled by us

Full source code — you own everything, no lock-in

🔗

M-Pesa Integration — Two Routes

Daraja API (direct Safaricom): Lowest fees, full control. Requires registered business + paybill/till. Approval: 2–4 weeks.

Third-party gateways: Pesapal, Flutterwave, Paystack — faster to launch, suitable for smaller businesses or MVPs.

🛡️

Payment Structure That Protects You

50% deposit to begin · 25% at design approval · 25% on final delivery. Never pay 100% upfront for app development.
