About us

The infrastructure layer behind small business in Kenya.

Alphacent Inc. is a digital infrastructure partner for growing businesses. We build, fix, and maintain the systems that make a company credible, discoverable, and easy to work with.

Why we exist

Most small businesses in Kenya do not have a technology problem. They have a visibility problem. The work is good, the prices are fair, and the customers exist — but the business is hard to find, hard to trust, and hard to contact without a personal network.

That usually happens for the same reasons. There is no domain, or the email is still a Gmail address. The website is slow, or out of date, or does not exist. The business is not on Google Maps, so nobody nearby finds it. Payments are arranged awkwardly over WhatsApp.

None of that is complicated to fix. It just needs someone who will do it properly, explain what they did, and hand over the keys afterwards. That is the whole idea behind Alphacent.

Based in Nairobi, working nationwide

We work remotely with clients across Kenya, and meet in person in Nairobi when a project calls for it. If a job needs us on site, we will say so upfront rather than billing you for travel later.

Everything documented

You get written documentation for every system we set up — how to log in, how to make changes, who to call. If you ever leave, you can take everything with you and nothing breaks.

How we work

Four things we will not compromise on.

Fix the actual problem

A website is not the goal. Being findable, credible, and easy to contact is. We start from the business problem, then choose the smallest amount of technology that solves it.

Plain language, always

No jargon, no upselling. If a cheaper option genuinely works for you, we will tell you. We would rather be honest once than sell something you do not need.

You own what you pay for

Domains, code, content, and documentation are yours. We hand over the keys and explain how everything works, so you are never locked in.

Built to keep working

Fast pages, clean structure, and a system that a human can maintain. We optimise for the person who has to look after it after we are gone.

Not sure which one you need?

That is a normal place to start. Tell us what is not working and we will tell you honestly whether you need a website, a Google listing, or nothing at all yet.
