Websites, software and apps, built around your business.

From a first business website to the platform your operations run on, we design and develop digital products with a clear scope, regular reviews and a practical handover.

Web development

Web development in Kenya, built around your business.

Your website should help people understand your business and take the next step. From our base in Nairobi, Kenya, we design and build websites and web applications around your audience, content, and everyday operations.

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you need a company website, a customer portal, an online shop, or a browser-based product. We begin by deciding what visitors need to accomplish and what your team needs to manage.

Explore web development
  • Business websites

    Clear page structure, responsive layouts, service information, and enquiry journeys that help visitors find what they need on phones and computers.

  • Web applications

    Customer accounts, dashboards, forms, and business workflows scoped around the tasks your users need to complete.

  • E-commerce and integrations

    Product browsing, checkout journeys, and connections to payment or business systems where required. Provider fees and integration requirements are reviewed during scoping.

  • Launch foundations

    Semantic HTML, page metadata, crawlable content, and performance checks. Content editing, analytics, and hosting are agreed according to your needs.

Custom software

Custom software for the way your business works.

When spreadsheets and disconnected tools make everyday work harder, a purpose-built system can bring the process together. RICNOVA SOFTWARE in Nairobi, Kenya, develops business software around your team’s responsibilities, information, and decisions.

Is it right for you?

A good fit when an important workflow does not fit your existing tools, staff repeatedly enter the same information, or you need different systems to exchange data. We first consider whether configuration or an integration can solve the problem before scoping a new platform.

Explore custom software
  • Business platforms

    Internal tools for the workflows you define, such as managing requests, records, approvals, or operational tasks.

  • Workflow automation

    Rules, notifications, and handovers that reduce repetitive steps while keeping staff in control of important decisions.

  • API integrations

    Connections between supported systems, with attention to authentication, data mapping, failure handling, and third-party limits.

  • Dashboards and permissions

    Views of the information each role needs, with access rules and reporting requirements agreed before implementation.

Mobile applications

Mobile app development for useful everyday experiences.

A useful app starts with a clear reason for people to open it. RICNOVA SOFTWARE in Nairobi, Kenya, helps turn mobile product ideas into focused experiences, with the platform and feature set chosen around your users.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for customer-facing products, mobile access to business services, or staff workflows away from a desk. We discuss whether a mobile website, progressive web app, or an app for iOS and Android is the right starting point.

  • Platform planning

    A practical choice between cross-platform applications, platform-specific requirements, and progressive web apps based on features, budget, and distribution.

  • Mobile user journeys

    Screen flows for the core task, onboarding, loading states, errors, and the permissions your app actually needs.

  • Connected features

    Accounts, API connections, and notifications where scoped. Offline behaviour and synchronisation are designed explicitly when the use case requires them.

  • Release preparation

    Testing on agreed devices and preparation of the agreed release assets. App-store accounts, submission responsibilities, and review requirements are discussed before launch.

UI/UX & product design

UI/UX design that makes complex products clearer.

Good product design helps people understand what to do and what happens next. RICNOVA SOFTWARE in Nairobi, Kenya, brings structure to digital product ideas through discovery, interface design, and prototypes your team can review before development.

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you are planning a new product, simplifying a confusing workflow, or bringing consistency to an existing interface. Design can be scoped as a standalone engagement or as part of a development project.

  • UX discovery

    Conversations about your audience, business goals, and current pain points. Research activities and access to representative users are agreed within the scope.

  • User flows and wireframes

    A map of key tasks and early layouts that help you evaluate structure and content before committing to detailed visuals.

  • Interactive prototypes

    Linked screens that demonstrate the main journey, making it easier to review interactions and gather feedback before implementation.

  • Interface systems and handover

    Reusable components, typography, colours, and key interaction states, with implementation notes matched to the agreed development needs.

Combine services
into one project.

Many products need more than one discipline. Planning them together avoids rework and keeps the experience consistent.

  1. 01

    Design, then build

    Start with UI/UX discovery and a prototype, then carry the approved design straight into web or mobile development.

  2. 02

    Website plus system

    Pair a public website with internal tools, so enquiries, orders or bookings flow into the software your team uses.

  3. 03

    One backend, many screens

    Plan a shared platform that serves a web application and a mobile app, instead of building two disconnected products.

A clear estimate, before you commit.

Every project has a different scope, so there is no fixed price or delivery date before we understand your requirements. Here is how we get there.

  1. 01

    Discovery conversation

    We learn about your business, users, constraints and what success looks like.

  2. 02

    Written scope

    We outline deliverables, assumptions, exclusions and any third-party dependencies.

  3. 03

    Estimate and timeline

    You receive a proposed estimate and timeline based on that agreed scope.

  4. 04

    Milestones and reviews

    Work is split into reviewable stages, so progress is visible and decisions stay with you.

Answers by service.

Yes. We can review the existing pages, content, and visitor journeys, then agree what to keep, improve, or rebuild. When URLs change, redirects should be planned to help visitors and search engines reach the new pages.
