Website Management & Care in Zanzibar.

Your site is too important to babysit yourself. We host it, patch it, back it up, monitor it, and fix what breaks - usually before you notice. Built specifically for Zanzibar businesses - with local search behaviour, neighbourhood targeting and an honest read of the competitive landscape.

02.1 / The local read

Zanzibar is not a generic market.

Zanzibar runs to a different rhythm. The tourism calendar - high season, shoulder, low - is the spine of every marketing decision. International search intent matters as much as local, often more. Direct bookings against OTAs is the conversation almost every property has, and the answer is a sharper website, a tuned Google Business Profile and an Instagram presence that earns the click.

02.2 / How Zanzibar buyers search

The patterns that shape the playbook.

  • 01Property + activity - e.g. "Nungwi beach villa", "Stone Town boutique hotel", "Paje kitesurf lodge"
  • 02International buyer intent - English-led, often searching from Europe or East Africa diaspora
  • 03Heavy Instagram and TikTok discovery; lighter Google reliance for hospitality buyers

02.3 / The problem

Two months after launch, nobody owns the site.

The developer disappeared. The plugins are out of date. The backups are theoretical. One day the site goes down, a customer messages you on Instagram, and you find out before your team does.

02.4 / What we deliver in Zanzibar

A site that just runs.

Daily backups, weekly updates, monthly performance and security reports, 24/7 uptime monitoring, and a WhatsApp line that gets answered. When the site needs an update, we make it. When something breaks, we fix it.

02.5/Where in Zanzibar

Neighbourhoods we know.

These are the areas we map first for Zanzibar clients - and we research the rest on the brief. Local search ranking matters at the neighbourhood level, not just the city level.

02.7/How we work

A predictable cadence.

  1. Week 1

    Audit

    We inspect what you have today - host, codebase, vulnerabilities, performance, backup state - and write a short report of what we found.

  2. Week 1–2

    Migrate

    We move you onto managed hosting, lock down access, set up backups and monitoring. Zero downtime.

  3. Ongoing

    Maintain

    Weekly updates, monthly reports, ad-hoc support. Every month. Predictable.

02.8/What good looks like

Three numbers we expect to hit.

99.9%+

Uptime target on every managed site. Monitored every 60 seconds.

WhatsApp

The channel you reach us on. No ticket queues, no portals.

Monthly

Written report on patches, performance, security and what changed.

* Targets we commit to in the proposal, not retrospective claims. Yours will vary with industry, starting point and competitive intensity in Zanzibar.

02.9/Zanzibar questions

What clients ask before they engage us.

If yours is not here, ask on WhatsApp - replies inside business hours.

  • Yes - that is the most common scenario. We do a short audit first to flag anything that needs a one-off fix before a care plan can start cleanly.
