Ethiopian context

Built for the Ethiopian web reality.

We build for how Ethiopians actually browse: mobile-first, on variable connectivity, often in Amharic. That means aggressive performance budgets, lightweight pages, offline-tolerant patterns where they help, and bilingual content with correct Amharic typography.

Commercial reality matters too — pricing in Birr, local payment options for e-commerce, .et domains, and hosting and support delivered from Addis Ababa in your time zone. For stores and portals, the site can connect to NYLOS ERP so inventory, pricing and orders stay in sync with your back office.

Pricing model

Quoted per project, priced in Birr.

Most websites are quoted as a fixed price after a short discovery call, so you know the cost and timeline before we start.

E-commerce and web applications are scoped after discovery because payments, catalog and integration work vary widely. We give you a written scope and fixed timeline before the build begins.

Hosting, domain, SSL and ongoing content updates and SEO are available as a simple monthly retainer.

Everything is denominated in Ethiopian Birr — no forex required.

Engagement shapes

  • Landing / marketing site — fixed price
  • Corporate website — fixed price after discovery
  • E-commerce store — scoped after discovery
  • Web app / portal — scoped after discovery
  • Hosting, SEO & updates — monthly retainer
