Yes. WordPress sites can take M-Pesa through WooCommerce payment gateways or a custom integration with Safaricom’s Daraja API. We set up STK Push, so customers get a payment prompt on their phone, and orders are marked as paid automatically. We can add card payments alongside M-Pesa.

We build on Impreza, a premium theme we customise for each brand, with WPBakery for layouts your team can edit. We keep plugins to the essentials. Fewer themes and plugins mean faster pages, fewer conflicts and fewer security risks.

WordPress is secure when it is built and maintained properly. Most hacks come through outdated plugins and themes, unused plugins and weak passwords. A lean build, regular updates, strong logins, a firewall and tested backups prevent most problems.

Do not delete the site or restore an old backup blindly, as the attacker’s backdoor may still be there. Change your WordPress, hosting and email passwords, then contact us. We remove the malware by hand, close the gap the attacker used, harden the site and request removal of any Google warnings.

Start by removing unused plugins, compressing images, turning on caching and choosing good hosting. If your site still fails Google’s Core Web Vitals, our speed optimisation finds and fixes the causes across every page. For Africa Legal Network, it doubled the site’s speed.

Yes. We map every old URL to its new address, set up permanent redirects, carry over your page titles and descriptions, and check Search Console after launch. That protects the rankings and links your site has already earned.

Yes. We move your website, database, email and DNS records, test everything and time the switch to avoid downtime. Many hosts offer free WordPress migration, and we will tell you when that is enough. We step in for email, custom code and complex sites.

WooCommerce suits most Kenyan stores that want to own their website, take M-Pesa and avoid paying a platform on every sale. Shopify is quick to start, but M-Pesa needs a paid third-party app and Shopify Payments is not available in Kenya. We compare both for your situation before you commit.

Headless WordPress keeps WordPress as the content editor but uses a separate frontend, such as Next.js, to show the website. It suits high-traffic or app-like sites that need top speed. Most business websites do not need it, and a lean standard WordPress site is simpler and cheaper to run.

Yes. Our care plans cover updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security scans and small fixes. Plans typically cost KES 5,000 to 25,000 a month, depending on the size of the site.

Yes. Every site comes with training, so your team can edit pages, publish posts and manage products. We also run training sessions for in-house teams on existing WordPress sites.
