The opportunity

Most local businesses are discovered online before customers ever walk in.

Tourists search Google before they arrive. Visitors choose between you and your competitor based on who has the better-looking website. Without one, you're invisible — no matter how good your business actually is.

Customers search before they visit

Over 80% of tourists research businesses online before deciding where to eat, stay or book a tour. If you're not findable, the booking goes elsewhere.

Most searches happen on mobile

Visitors are on their phones. A website that looks broken on mobile instantly loses their trust — and their business.

A website builds instant credibility

A professional website tells customers you're serious. It works 24/7, answers their questions, and gives them a way to reach you directly — even before they land.

Common questions

FAQ

Yes. We help you register a domain in your name, so you own it fully. If you ever leave WebStart, the domain stays yours. We'll guide you through the registration — most people have never done it before and it takes about 10 minutes.
Yes. Give us 30 days notice and we'll cancel your plan with no penalty. There's no long-term contract. If you cancel, hosting ends and the website goes offline — but your domain remains yours. We'd recommend moving the site files before cancelling if you want to continue hosting elsewhere.
Most websites are live within 1–5 business days once we have your information and design is approved. The speed depends mainly on how quickly you can share your business details, photos and sign off on the design. We work fast — the bottleneck is rarely on our side.
Yes. If you have photos of your business, send them to us and we'll use them. If not, we can source high-quality stock photos that fit your style and location. For logos, we can create a simple, professional logo as part of your setup — just let us know when you message us.
Yes — basic local SEO is included. We set up your site with Zanzibar-specific keywords, proper page titles, meta descriptions and a Google-readable structure. We also link your website to your Google Business profile (or help you create one). This improves your chances of appearing in local search results significantly.
Yes. We can add features as your business grows — booking enquiry forms, PDF menus, image galleries, event pages and more. Some features are included in the plan, others may be quoted depending on complexity. Just ask us what you need and we'll give you a clear answer.
Absolutely. The WhatsApp button on your website links directly to your business's own WhatsApp number — not ours. Customers contact you directly. You keep full control over your customer conversations.

Let's give your business a website customers can trust.

Message us on WhatsApp and we'll have your website live within days. No setup fee. No technical headaches.
