How much does it cost to design a website in Kenya? This is a common question among people who intend to own websites for companies and blogs. The cost of a website depends on many factors, which include the Content Management System you use and the Theme you use for your blog.
If you don’t have money pay for web design, you can create one for free. What you should do is use Blogger, which is owned by Google to create a website. Then buy a top level domain (you can click here to buy) which you will link with the website. To create a website through blogger, use the following steps.
1.Sign in to your Gmail account.
Once you have signed in,click on the following button.
The button will open several other hidden buttons as shown below.
In this above window,you will scroll down to where it is indicated,More.That is where you will click to open the following window.
As you can see above,there is a button indicated Blogger,click there to start creating a free Blogger website.If you are stuck,send us an email to [email protected] or call 0722927138
The second way to design a website is by using WordPress Content Management System.Since WordPress is more popular than Blogger,I will highly encourage you to use it.
In Kenya,most Web Design companies charge Ksh 15,000-Ksh 30,000 for a single website.Others charge up to Ksh 50,000 to design a single website.
If it’s a personal blog,the median price should be Ksh 15,000 and if it’s a website for a company,then Ksh 25,000 is not much.You can contact 0722927138 for professional website.
Now,assuming you want to start a news blog and compete with the likes of Tuko,Venas News,Standard and Nation,you would need a lot of orientation.But before someone asks you to pay them for the professional services,here is the best advise I can give you as an expert in blogging.The secret to success in blogging is to write articles that provide solutions to your readers,articles that create emotions ,articles that make your readers visit your site again and again.To succeed,you have to pick on articles that most Kenyan mostly search for online…but how do you know popular articles?You can use SEMRUSH tool to search for online key words—you can sign up for free for seven days.

Several aspiring bloggers often ask me,is it possible to design a WordPress blog for myself?I always say ,yes ,but inform them of the need to engage the services of a professional.What you many not be aware of is that there are many secrets established bloggers don’t reveal to the rest.One of the secrets is that of Premium WordPress Theme.In order to grow your website to become viral,you must buy a theme,which we refer to as ‘premium WordPress theme’.There are many themes you can buy online-I would suggest you buy from ThemeForest(here is the link).I know Mpasho uses Newspaper Theme,which is the same theme Venas News uses.This theme is ranked the best theme for placing AdSense and other advertisement banners.You can buy it from ThemForest or simply send us an email to [email protected] to have it.
Finally,after creating a website,what next.If you are a blogger,the next headache is to get traffic(but I have explained the magic SEMRUSH can do) and how to monetize your blog.One of the easiest ways to monetize is to use affiliate marketing.You can use AdSense and direct marketing.But I would encourage you to use affiliate marketing,here is the link.
