Right now, someone is choosing your competitor because of your website.
They found you. They tapped your site on their phone. Then something made them back out and tap
the next result instead. You never saw it happen — that's what makes it expensive.
It's painful on a phone
Most of your visitors are on mobile. If they have to pinch, zoom, or wait five seconds for it to load, they're gone before they ever read what you do.
There's no obvious way to contact you
No tap-to-call button, no visible phone number, a contact form buried three clicks deep — or worse, a form that quietly stopped delivering emails months ago.
It looks like nobody's home
A dated design, a copyright year from four years ago, stock photos that scream template. People read that as "this business might not still be operating."
It doesn't say why you
Your reviews are great, your work is great, your team is great — and none of that is on the page. Visitors can't tell you apart from the three other companies they're comparing you to.
Don't take my word for it — do the arithmetic
Set the slider to what one new customer is actually worth to you.

1job pays for the whole site
Month 1payback, at one extra job a month
$28,500left over after 12 months, same assumption
One extra job a month is a deliberately conservative assumption — it's roughly what you'd expect from
fixing a site people currently bounce off on their phone. If the number above still doesn't justify
$2,500 to you, don't book the call. That's a real answer and it saves us both the time.

Jobtech Alliance
The problem
Africa’s jobtech platforms, funders, and policymakers needed a public home that explained the alliance — not a job board.
What I built
A live marketing site: programmes, research, community, FAQs, and a clear way in.
Everything below is included. The price is $2,500.
Not a starting price. Not a base package with add-ons. One number, agreed in writing before I start,
and it does not move unless you ask for something outside this list.
A complete custom website, 5–10 pages. Home, about, services, credibility, contact — structured around how your customers actually decide.
All the writing, done for you. You don't have to produce a single paragraph. I interview you once, then write the whole site.
Images sourced and edited. I find and prepare professional imagery that fits your business, or clean up the photos you already have.
Your old content moved over. Existing pages, service descriptions, reviews and blog posts come across — nothing gets lost.
Booking or contact system connected. Tap-to-call, a working quote form that actually lands in your inbox, and your scheduling tool wired in.
Google Business Profile set up or cleaned up. The listing most local customers see before they ever reach your website.
Hosting and domain configured for you. In your name, on your accounts. I do the technical part, you keep the keys.
Built fast and search-ready. Mobile-first, quick to load, proper page titles and structure so you don't lose the traffic you already have.
2 rounds of revisions. A real number instead of a vague promise, so neither of us is guessing where the line is.
30 days of free fixes after launch. Anything broken, wrong, or that needs tweaking, I handle it at no cost.
A 30-minute video training walkthrough. Recorded for your business, so you or your assistant can change text and photos without calling anyone.
The $0 upfront deal
How I can build your site before you pay me anything
It isn't a trick and there's no catch buried in the terms. It works because I build on my own server,
not yours — so the only thing at risk is my time, and I'm confident enough in the work to bet that instead of asking you to.
1
You pay $0 to startNo deposit, no card on file, no retainer. We sign a simple written agreement so we both know exactly what's being built and for how much — then I start.
2
I build it on my staging serverNothing touches your live site or your domain. Your current website keeps running exactly as it is, and your customers see no disruption at all.
3
You see the finished site and use itA private link. Click every page, open it on your phone, show it to your spouse and your staff. You're judging a real finished website, not a mockup or a slide deck.
4
Only then does money change handsLove it, you pay $2,500 by card or ACH on a normal invoice, and we launch that week. Don't love it, you get one more revision round — and if it's still not right, you walk away owing me nothing.
The one thing I ask in return: if you walk away, the design and files stay mine — you don't take the work
and hand it to someone cheaper to finish. That's the whole protection on my side, and it's written into the agreement in plain English.
You risk nothing. I risk two weeks. That's the deal.
You have four options. Here they are honestly.
Including the parts that don't flatter me.

If you want someone you can drive to and shake hands with, hire the agency — that's a completely legitimate reason
to spend $10,000 and I won't try to talk you out of it. What I'm offering is agency-standard work at freelance
pricing, with the risk moved off your side of the table.
The whole thing, start to finish
Five steps. You're involved in three of them, for maybe two hours total.
Day 0 — 30 min
We talk
A short video call. Your business, your customers, what your site needs to do. If I'm not the right fit I'll tell you on that call.
Day 1 — 30 min
Sign & hand over
You e-sign the agreement and send me your logo, photos and any details. That's the moment the 14-day clock starts.
Days 2 – 5
Homepage first
I design and write your homepage and show it to you early, so you know exactly what's coming before I build the rest.
Days 6 – 12
Full build
Every remaining page, your copy, images, forms, booking and Google listing. You get progress updates, not silence.
Days 13 – 14
Approve, pay, launch
Two revision rounds, then you approve, pay the $2,500, and I move it onto your domain and record your training video.
The six things people are actually worried about
Nobody says these out loud on a first call, so let me answer them before you have to ask.
🔑
"Will I be held hostage?"
No. The domain and hosting are registered in your name, on your accounts, with your card — not mine. I get access, do the work, and hand it back. If you never speak to me again after launch, your website carries on working exactly the same.
🔍
"Will I lose my Google rankings?"
Not if it's done properly. Every existing page gets redirected to its new home, your page titles and content carry over, and the new site loads faster than the old one — which Google rewards. I check your search traffic after launch and fix anything that slips.
⏱
"What if it drags on for months?"
The 14 days start when you hand over your content, and they're in the written agreement. I only take three builds a month specifically so that number stays real. If I'm late for reasons that are mine, you get $250 off — also in writing.
👻
"What if you just disappear?"
You'd lose nothing — you haven't paid me. That's the point of the structure. But for what it's worth: my name, face, companies and eight years of public history are all one search away, and I've linked them below so you can check before we ever speak.
🔒
"Is it going to get hacked?"
Every site ships with SSL, hardened logins, automatic backups and a host I've vetted. I'll also show you the three things that cause almost every small business hack, so you don't undo the work six months later.
📞
"Will my phone and forms keep working?"
Your existing phone number, email, booking links and any tools you already use get carried across and tested on real devices before launch. Nothing about how your customers currently reach you breaks.

Add your 60-second welcome video at /websites/welcome.mp4
60 seconds. Me, my face, my voice, and the deal in plain English.
I'm Barisuka. Here's why this is $2,500 and not $10,000.
I'm a software engineer. I run a software and design studio alongside two products of my own —
Remotah,
which handles cross-border payments for African professionals working with US and UK employers, and
Atisah.
I've shipped client work in healthcare, fintech, education and logistics.
When a US agency quotes $10,000, a large share of that never touches your website. It covers an office
lease, the salesperson who found you, an account manager who forwards your emails, and a project manager
who coordinates the two people actually doing the work. I'm in Nigeria.
No office, no payroll, no account layer — and I do the build myself. That's the whole difference.
You're not buying a cheaper website. You're buying the same website without the overhead attached to it.
The distance is real, so I've removed it as a variable everywhere it could cost you something.
The practical answers
Payment. You pay by card or ACH into a US bank account, on a normal invoice. No international wires, no crypto, no Western Union, no gift cards.
Language. English is my first language. Get on the call and hear it for yourself before you commit to anything.
Time zones. I schedule calls around you — mornings, afternoons or evenings, your time. Pick any slot that suits you on the calendar.
Paper. A written agreement, e-signed by both of us, covering the price, the scope, the deadline and what happens if either of us walks.
Check me before you book. My name, face, companies and work history are all public — I've
linked them below so you don't have to go looking.
It's a conversation, not a pitch. I look at your current site while we talk and tell you what I'd change —
and you keep that advice whether or not you hire me.
No pressure and no follow-up sequence. If it's not a fit, I'll say so on the call and we'll both get our afternoon back.
Pick any time that works for you. Mornings, afternoons or evenings in your time zone.
You'll be talking to me, not a salesperson, an assistant, or an account manager.
Booking the call commits you to nothing. No card, no deposit, no obligation — and if the next build window doesn't suit you, we'll pick one that does.
First, 60 seconds about your business
So I can look you up before we speak and not waste your time on basics.
Got it — last step.
Pick a time below and you're done. You'll get a calendar invite with a video link straight away.
The calendar didn't load. Email me and I'll send you a time.
I record my screen, walk through your website the way one of your customers would, and email you
the video within 48 hours. No call, no pitch, no mailing list.
Three things I'll cover: where you're losing people on mobile, what's broken or missing in your contact path, and the single change I'd make first.
You keep it either way. Fix it yourself, hand the video to your current developer, or ignore it entirely. It's yours.
It's about five minutes long and it's specific to your site — not a template with your name dropped in.
Done — it's in my queue.
You'll have the video within 48 hours. If it's useful and you want the site rebuilt properly, the call is still there whenever you want it.
Including the uncomfortable ones. If something isn't answered here, ask me on the call.
Money and risk
Do I genuinely pay nothing upfront?
Genuinely nothing. No deposit, no card on file, no "small holding fee." We sign an agreement, I build your site on my staging server, you review the finished thing, and only then does an invoice exist.
What if I get to the end and I don't like it?
You get one more revision round to tell me what's wrong. If it still isn't right after that, you walk away and owe me nothing — no kill fee, no partial payment, no argument.
The one condition is that the design and files stay mine. You can't take the work and hand it to someone else to finish, and that's spelled out in the agreement.
Is $2,500 really the total? What are the hidden fees?
There are none, and I've listed everything that's excluded further up the page rather than leaving it vague. The only money you'll spend that doesn't come to me is your own hosting bill, roughly $10–20 a month, paid directly to your host.
The number can only change if you ask for something outside the agreed scope — and if that happens, I quote it and you approve it in writing before I touch it.
How do I actually pay you, and is that safe?
By card or ACH transfer to a US bank account, against a normal itemised invoice. It's the same way you'd pay any American vendor.
I will never ask you for an international wire, crypto, gift cards, or a transfer to a personal account. If anyone claiming to be me ever does, it isn't me.
What does this cost me every month afterwards?
Nothing to me. You get 30 days of free fixes after launch, and after that you owe me nothing at all. Your only ongoing cost is hosting, at roughly $10–20 a month, paid to your host.
If you'd rather I handle updates for you later, we can talk about it then. It's optional and it's never a condition of anything.
Why is this $2,500 when agencies charge $10,000?
Because an agency quote pays for an office, a project manager, an account manager, a sales team and a designer who each touch your project for a few hours. I'm one experienced person doing the work directly, and I live somewhere with a much lower cost of living.
You're not getting a cheaper website. You're getting the same website without the overhead attached to it.
That sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?
Fair question, and the honest answer is that I take on the risk because it's the fastest way for someone with no relationship with you to prove they're worth hiring. It costs me two weeks when it doesn't work out, and it wins me clients when it does.
The limit is capacity: three builds a month. That's the actual catch.
Who you're dealing with
Where are you based?
Nigeria. I've put that on the page rather than letting you discover it on the call, because I'd rather lose you now than waste your time.
Everything about how I work — the US bank account, the written agreement, the calendar in your time zone, the $0 upfront structure — exists to make the distance irrelevant to you.
How do I know you're a real person and not a scam?
Start by not taking my word for it. My name, face, LinkedIn, X account and the two companies I run are all linked on this page. Search me. Then get on a video call and look at me while we talk.
Then consider the structure itself: you send me no money to find out. A scam needs your money upfront. This one can't work that way.
Will communication be difficult?
English is my first language. Rather than argue about it in text, get on the 30-minute call — you'll know within thirty seconds whether working with me would be easy, and it costs you nothing to find out.
What time zone are you in, and when can we talk?
I work around your schedule, not mine. Every slot on the calendar is shown in your local time — pick a morning, afternoon or evening and I'll be there.
During the build you'll get updates by email or text, plus video calls whenever you want one.
How many of these have you actually built?
My work is on this page and every site listed is live — click through and judge them. I also run a software studio and have shipped client projects across healthcare, fintech, education and logistics.
If you want to talk to a past client before you commit, ask me on the call and I'll arrange it.
Do you sign a contract or an NDA?
Yes to both. A written agreement is e-signed by both of us before I start, covering price, scope, deadline, ownership and what happens if either of us walks away. If your business needs an NDA, send yours and I'll sign it.
Control and ownership
Do I own the website?
Completely, once it's paid for. The domain, the hosting account and the code are all yours, registered in your name on your accounts. I never own a piece of your business.
Can I update it myself afterwards?
Yes, and I record a 30-minute video walkthrough of your specific site so you're not guessing. Changing text, swapping a photo, updating your hours or adding a post is a couple of clicks — no developer, no invoice.
What if I want to fire you or switch developers later?
You can, at any moment, and nothing breaks. Everything is in your accounts with your logins. Any competent developer can pick it up — the site is built on standard tools, not something private only I can maintain.
Do I have to hand over my passwords?
No. I ask for limited access to the specific accounts I need, you keep ownership throughout, and you revoke my access the day we finish. I never register anything in my own name on your behalf.
What if I already have a domain and hosting I like?
Keep them. I build on staging and then move the finished site onto your existing setup at launch. If your hosting is genuinely bad for your site's speed I'll tell you, but the decision is yours.
The build itself
I don't have copy or good photos. Is that a problem?
It's the normal situation and it's already covered. I write every word on your site after one interview with you, and I source and prepare the imagery. You don't have to produce anything except an hour of conversation.
How many revisions do I get?
Two full rounds, plus one extra round if you're not happy at the end. I use a real number rather than saying "unlimited," because unlimited is the promise that quietly turns into an argument later.
In practice most clients use one round and change a few sentences.
Is 14 days realistic, or is that a sales number?
It's realistic, and it starts from when you've sent me your content and details — not from the day we speak. That distinction is in the agreement so neither of us is unclear about it.
The 14 days are also why I cap it at three builds a month. If I'm late for reasons that are mine, you get $250 off.
What if I'm slow to reply during the build?
Nothing bad happens and there's no penalty — the clock just pauses while I'm waiting on you. Most delays in web projects are approval delays, so I keep the number of decisions you have to make deliberately small.
Will the new site break my Google rankings?
It shouldn't, and preventing that is part of the job. Every existing page is redirected to its new address, your titles and content carry across, and the new site is faster than the old one, which helps.
I watch your search traffic for 30 days after launch and fix anything that dips.
What will you build it on?
Whatever fits your business. Usually WordPress or Webflow, because those are the easiest for you to edit yourself and any developer can maintain them. If you need something more custom I'll say so on the call and explain why.
What I won't do is trap you on a platform that only I can work in.
Can you do e-commerce, booking, or custom software?
Booking and appointment systems are included in the $2,500. Online stores, client portals, CRM integrations and custom applications are real work beyond a company website — I build those too, but they're scoped and quoted separately, with a fixed price agreed before anything starts.
My business is unusual. Will you understand it?
That's exactly what the 30-minute call is for. I'll ask how you actually get customers and what a good lead looks like to you, and if I don't think I can do your industry justice I'll tell you rather than take the project.
The call
Is the call going to be a sales pitch?
No. I'll have already looked at your site, and I'll spend most of the time telling you what I'd change about it. That advice is yours to keep and use, including with a different developer.
Am I committing to anything by booking?
Nothing at all. No card, no deposit, no obligation. It's thirty minutes, and either it makes sense afterwards or it doesn't.
What if I'm not ready to start for a few months?
Book anyway and say so on the call. You'll get the same feedback on your current site, and when you are ready you'll already know who you're dealing with.
You've read the whole page. You already know if you want this.
Thirty minutes, no card, no obligation, and you keep the advice either way.
The worst outcome is that you get a free professional opinion on your current website.
