Web Design

Most Ethiopian businesses come to us for a site, not for SEO. Building it ourselves means the structure is right from the start rather than something we spend a year working around.

Why it matters

What it costs you to leave this alone.

A site that a search engine cannot read is a brochure that nobody is handed. Most sites we audit here were built to look right in a design tool and never to be found — heavy pages, no headings, no structure, no way to change a word without calling the developer back.

What you actually get

Deliverables, not activities.

01

A site that loads on Ethiopian mobile connections, which is a harder constraint than it sounds and the one most templates fail.

02

Search structure built in from the wireframe: URLs, headings, internal links and schema, not retrofitted afterwards.

03

A content editor you can actually use, so copy changes do not require us.

04

Analytics and Search Console configured and verified, so the site is measurable from day one.

How it runs

What happens, and when.

Week one — structure

What the site needs to rank for decides what pages exist and how they link. This happens before any visual design, because reversing it afterwards is what makes rebuilds expensive.

Weeks two to three — design

Screens for approval, on real content rather than placeholder text. You sign off on the thing itself, not an impression of it.

Weeks four to six — build

Fast static pages, an editor wired to the parts you will actually change, and structured data emitted for every entity that has one.

Launch and after

Redirects mapped from the old site so nothing you already rank for is lost, then thirty days of fixes included.

Scope

What this does not include.

Naming the edges is what makes the rest credible. If you need something on this list, we will say so rather than sell it badly.

  • Logo and brand identity design. We will work to yours, or refer you to someone who does it properly.
  • Ecommerce checkout and payment integration. We build the storefront and its structure; payments are a specialist job here.
  • Ongoing content writing after launch. That is Content, priced separately.

Questions

What people ask before they buy this.

Do I own the site?

Entirely — code, content and domain. There is no licence, and moving to another developer does not cost you the site.

Will a rebuild lose my current rankings?

Only if redirects are skipped, which is the single most common way rebuilds go wrong. Every old URL is mapped to its new home before launch.

Can you fix my existing site instead of rebuilding?

Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. We will tell you honestly which one you need — a rebuild sold to someone who needed three fixes is how agencies get their reputation here.

How long does a site take?

Six weeks for most, longer if the content does not exist yet. Writing is usually the thing that sets the date, not building.

Why does an SEO agency build websites?

Because it is what people ask for, and because a site built without search in mind becomes a year of expensive workarounds. Building it right the first time is cheaper for you than us fixing it later.
