Business Savings Story
How a Mombasa retail business saved over 55% on professional website redesign and marketing materials by hiring trusted Kenyan freelancers on FreelancKE — paid instantly via M-Pesa.
The Challenge
Mama Pima Enterprises, a growing retail chain in Mombasa, needed a modern e-commerce website and fresh branding to compete online. Agency quotes were between KSh 1.2M–1.8M with 8–12 week timelines.
Choosing FreelancKE
Instead, they posted the project on FreelancKE. Within 72 hours they received proposals from a UI/UX designer, a Shopify expert, and a branding specialist — all based in Kenya.
“We paid less than half the agency price, got better communication in Swahili and English, and the team felt like an extension of our staff.”

- Total cost: KSh 520,000 (vs KSh 1.2M+ agency quotes)
- Timeline: 4.5 weeks from kickoff to launch
