For businesses that already sell on Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok and are ready to be found on Google, named by ChatGPT and Gemini, and taken seriously by bigger customers. Designed around your business, live in 14 business days, and you own every part of it.

No add-ons to discover later. This is the whole list.
Designed around your business, your colours and your products. Up to five pages: home, about, products or services, a page for each thing you want to rank for, and contact.
Loads in under two seconds on a mid-range Android on 4G. Three quarters of your visitors are on a phone; the site is designed for them first.
Keyword-mapped pages, clean titles and descriptions, headings a search engine understands, image alt text, an XML sitemap and the right redirects.
Structured data (schema) for your organisation, products, services, reviews and FAQs, so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode can quote you by name.
We set up or clean up your profile and link it to the site with matching name, address and phone, which is what the AI assistants check first.
WhatsApp order buttons, click-to-call, an enquiry form that lands in your inbox, and your Instagram and TikTok linked, so the site adds a channel instead of replacing one.
We register or connect your .com or .ng domain, set up fast hosting and SSL, and hand you the logins. You own everything.
A one-hour session on changing prices, products and photos yourself, plus thirty days of fixes and questions after launch.
| What a customer can do | Instagram or WhatsApp only | With your own website |
|---|---|---|
| Found on Google for "your trade in your city" | Rarely | Yes, that is what it is built for |
| Named by ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Mode | Almost never: the assistants barely read Instagram | Yes, when the pages state plainly what you do |
| Customers can find prices and order at 2am | Only if they DM and wait | Yes, with WhatsApp and a form |
| Looks like a serious business to a corporate buyer | Depends on the grid | Yes |
| You own it | No, the platform does | Yes, domain and files in your name |
| Survives a ban, a hack or an algorithm change | No | Yes |
Half up front, half at launch. You see the site before it goes live and you approve the plan before we design anything.
Under two seconds on a mid-range phone, Core Web Vitals passed, indexed by Google and Bing within a week, structured data in place. Rankings nobody can promise; the build is what makes them possible.
What you sell, who buys, the searches you want to win, the photos and text you already have. You pay 50% to start.
We map the pages to real searches in your city and category, and send you a one-page plan to approve before any design.
You see a working draft on a private link, with two rounds of changes included.
Domain connected, Google Business Profile linked, site submitted to Google and Bing, training session done, balance paid, logins handed over.
Two short steps. We come back with the brief, the page plan and the start date; nothing is charged until you approve the plan on the call.
Yes, for the build described on this page: design, up to five pages, on-page SEO, structured data, Google Business Profile set-up, forms and WhatsApp buttons, training and thirty days of support. The only things outside it are the yearly domain and hosting fees, which are paid to the registrar and host in your name (typically ₦15,000 to ₦40,000 a year depending on the domain) and any professional photography you want.
That is the point. The site links to both, carries WhatsApp order buttons, and gives the people who find you on Google a place to land. Instagram stays your shop window; the website becomes the address the search engines and AI assistants can read.
No, and nobody honest can. What we guarantee is the build: a site that loads in under two seconds on a mid-range phone, passes Google's Core Web Vitals, is indexed by Google and Bing within a week of launch, and carries the structured data AI assistants need. Rankings depend on your competition and what you publish afterwards; the site makes that work possible instead of impossible.
We quote it. A catalogue of products, online payment with Paystack or Flutterwave, booking systems and multi-location sites are all things we build; they start from the ₦200,000 base and we agree the number before work starts.
Fourteen business days from the call to launch, provided you send photos, text and feedback on time. Most of the delay in web projects is waiting on content, so the brief on day one lists exactly what we need from you.
Yes. Prices, products, photos, opening hours and new pages are all editable without a developer, and the training session covers them. Anything beyond that, the thirty days of support handles, and after that we are a message away.
Your business name and what you sell, your logo if you have one, your Instagram or TikTok handle, the phone number orders should go to, and about ten good photos. Everything else we can draft and you approve.
