01.1 / The local read

Kampala is not a generic market.

Kampala is one of the fastest-growing SME markets in the region. Aggressive paid media still yields where it is set up properly, and SEO competition is comparatively soft in many categories - a window that is closing as more businesses invest. We support Ugandan clients remotely from Dar with the same standards.

01.2 / How Kampala buyers search

The patterns that shape the playbook.

  • 01Service + Kampala for general intent
  • 02Service + neighbourhood for personal services - "dental clinic Bugolobi", "restaurant Kololo"
  • 03Lower average CPC than Nairobi or Dar across many categories - useful runway for early-mover clients

01.3 / The problem

The site you have is costing you customers.

It loads slowly on a mid-range Android. The phone number takes three taps to find. The copy says you are passionate about excellence and tells nobody what you actually sell. Meanwhile, a competitor with a sharper site is winning the Google click and the WhatsApp message that follows it.

01.4 / What we deliver in Kampala

In two weeks, a site that earns its keep.

A focused website with one clear job per page, a frictionless contact path, real loading speed on cheap phones, copy that reads like a human wrote it, and structure that Google can rank. Easy for your team to update without breaking anything.

01.5/Where in Kampala

Neighbourhoods we know.

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

01.7/How we work

A predictable cadence.

  1. Week 1

    Listen

    A discovery call and a written brief. Your offer, audience, goals and the content we can repurpose from what you already have.

  2. Week 1

    Map

    Sitemap and page outlines, agreed before a single pixel is pushed. We map every page to a single conversion goal.

  3. Week 1–2

    Design

    Two design directions explored. One picked. Refined against real content, never lorem ipsum.

  4. Week 2

    Build

    Mobile-first development, performance budget enforced, accessibility checked as we go.

  5. Week 2

    Launch

    QA pass, analytics, Search Console, sitemap submitted, training and handover. Live.

01.8/What good looks like

Three numbers we expect to hit.

14 days

Typical time from kickoff to a live website.

< 2.5s

Mobile Largest Contentful Paint on mid-range Android - the speed Google ranks for.

100%

Mobile-first. Every page built and tested on a phone before it ever sees a laptop.

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

01.9/Kampala questions

What clients ask before they engage us.

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

  • We pick the stack that fits the client. SMEs that want to edit constantly often go with WordPress on managed hosting. Online sellers go with Shopify. Brands prioritising speed and engineering quality go with Next.js or Astro. We recommend honestly - none of them pays us more than another.
