Time
Most of the working day is shared.
India is four and a half hours ahead of Lagos, three and a half ahead of Johannesburg and two and a half ahead of Nairobi. None of these countries changes its clocks.

Website development for African businesses
Web development for Africa, light, fast and mobile-first.
CodingMarble offers website development for African businesses in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt and elsewhere, working remotely from India. It has no office on the continent. It brings a fixed price, a written scope and builds designed for phones and mobile data.
India and much of Africa share similar conditions online: most visitors arrive on a phone, connections vary, and buyers like to message before they purchase. A studio that builds for those conditions at home is a natural fit.
Performance
Pages built for mobile data.
Compressed images, minimal scripts and sensible caching keep pages light, so a visitor on a modest phone and a patchy connection still sees the site quickly.
Honesty
Remote from India, paid in USD.
There is no local branch in any African country. Prices are fixed in US dollars and shown in rand, naira or shillings where the currency is supported.
Three markets
Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya, side by side.
Offshore web development for Lagos businesses covers fashion and beauty brands, logistics firms, schools, churches, property agents and fintech startups. Ecommerce website development for Lagos sellers usually means WooCommerce or a custom store with a Nigerian payment gateway connected through the merchant account you hold, plus WhatsApp ordering.
South African clients tend to ask for corporate sites, tourism and hospitality, professional practices and Shopify stores priced in rand. Kenyan projects often involve mobile money at checkout, agricultural and travel businesses, and NGOs. Buyers elsewhere, including those who outsource web development to India from Egypt, follow the same process with Arabic available as a scoped addition.
- Lagos retail, logistics and fintech
- South African corporate and tourism
- Kenyan mobile money checkouts
- Arabic available for North Africa
Built for the network
Why lightweight engineering matters here.
A heavy page costs your visitor money in data and costs you the sale when it fails to load. Every build is tested on a throttled connection and a mid-range Android phone. Images are served at the size needed, fonts are limited, and third-party scripts are added sparingly.
The same thinking applies to apps. As an offshore app development company for Nigeria clients and their neighbours, the studio builds in Flutter so one codebase serves Android and iOS, keeps download size small, and lets key screens work with a weak signal. SMS, WhatsApp or email notifications are chosen to suit your customers.
- Tested on throttled connections
- Small images, few scripts
- Flutter apps with small downloads
- Notifications that suit your customers
Paying and owning
Payment from Africa, explained without gloss.
Clients outside India pay by PayPal, and PayPal does not work identically in every African country. Before you approve a quote, confirm that your account or card can send an international payment in US dollars. If it cannot, say so in the brief and the studio will tell you whether another arrangement is possible.
The prices themselves are fixed: USD 180 for a basic website, USD 360 for a standard website, USD 1,800 for ecommerce and USD 480 for a basic app. Larger work is quoted individually and can be paid half up front, half on delivery. Your domain, hosting and gateway accounts stay in your name, and source code is handed over after final payment.
- Check PayPal works for you first
- Fixed USD prices for everyone
- Half and half on larger work
- You keep accounts and code
