Our Web Development Services in Kigali
Everything under one roof, so a Kigali business does not have to coordinate separate design, development and support vendors.

Custom Website Development
Fast, search-friendly websites built on Next.js with a CMS your marketing team can update without calling a developer.

Web Application Development
Portals, dashboards and platforms with accounts, roles, workflows and an admin — software that runs part of your business.

Progressive Web Apps
Installable, offline-capable web apps that feel native on mobile without the cost of two app-store builds.

Website Revamp & Migration
Rebuilding a slow or outdated site on a modern stack while preserving URLs, rankings and content.
Technologies behind our web platforms.
Our default web stack is Next.js and React on the front end with TypeScript throughout, because it gives fast, server-rendered pages that search engines index well and a single language across the codebase. Behind it we pick the back end, database and hosting to fit the product — and set up monitoring, backups and CI so the platform stays healthy after launch.
For Kigali projects we typically host on Local Rwandan data centres where required; AWS Cape Town otherwise, and integrate with MTN MoMo and Airtel Money; Irembo government services; eKash interoperability; and SMS and USSD gateways.

Frequently asked questions.
About web development in Kigali, and about working with Drema.
Do you have a team in Kigali?
We work with Kigali clients through one named lead who is your point of contact from kickoff to handover, backed by the same engineering team on every project.
Where should a web platform for Kigali users be hosted?
As close to your users as your compliance allows. For Kigali, that usually means Local Rwandan data centres where required; AWS Cape Town otherwise. We put static assets and cacheable pages behind a CDN so the first load is fast everywhere, keep the database in the region your data rules require, and set up everything in your own cloud account so you are never locked to us.
How long does web development take for a Kigali company?
A marketing site with a CMS can be live in three to five weeks; a web application with accounts, roles, payments and an admin panel usually takes ten to sixteen weeks for its first production release. We ship in fortnightly increments, so you see working software from the first month.
Which Kigali industries do you build web platforms for?
Most often Government & Public Sector, Healthcare, Fintech and Logistics & Supply Chain, because that is where Kigali's economy is concentrated. We are not limited to those sectors — the engineering transfers — but that is where we can bring the most relevant experience to a first conversation.
Which local systems can you integrate with?
Most Kigali projects touch MTN MoMo and Airtel Money; Irembo government services; eKash interoperability; and SMS and USSD gateways. We integrate with what your customers and staff already use, and we check API access and commercial terms for each before committing to a timeline.
How much does a custom web application cost?
A focused application with a handful of core journeys is a meaningfully smaller engagement than a multi-tenant platform with billing, roles and integrations. We scope against your specific journeys and give a range before you commit, rather than quoting a headline figure that changes later.
Why Next.js rather than a plain React app?
Server rendering, which matters for both first-load speed and for search engines and AI crawlers being able to read your content. A client-only React app ships an empty page to crawlers, which is a serious handicap when organic search matters.
Can you work with our existing design?
Yes. We regularly build from Figma files or an existing design system. If the design has gaps around empty, loading and error states, we will flag them early rather than inventing them at build time.
Will the site be fast?
We set a performance budget at the start and measure against it on mid-range mobile hardware, not just a fast laptop. Images, fonts and JavaScript size are the three things that usually decide the outcome, and all three are engineering decisions.
Do you handle hosting and deployment?
Yes, typically on Vercel or AWS depending on your constraints. You own the accounts and the infrastructure definition, so nothing is locked to us.
What about ongoing changes after launch?
Most clients continue with a maintenance arrangement, but you are not required to. Everything is documented and in your repository so another team can pick it up.
