Our Process

How We Build Software in Kenya

1
Discovery & Requirements Workshop
We run a structured discovery session to understand your users, workflows, and goals. We produce a detailed functional specification and wireframes before a single line of code is written.
2
UI/UX Design for Kenyan Users
Our designers create mobile-first, high-fidelity prototypes. We design for Kenyan users — low-bandwidth conditions, M-Pesa flows, Swahili/English bilingual support where needed.
3
Agile Development with Regular Demos
We work in 2-week sprints with demos at each milestone. You see progress, give feedback, and stay in control throughout. No nasty surprises at the end.
4
QA Testing, Deployment & Support
Rigorous QA testing across devices (including low-end Android phones prevalent in Kenya), secure deployment, Play Store/App Store submission, and post-launch support from KES 20,000/month.
