Building Websites ..the question

First off, no one will make a website for 25,000. Make it yourself. You have 2 options use a CMS or build it from scratch by learning programming. If you want to know which CMS and tools a site used then install a plugin called wappalyzer.
Then look for the sites for those CMS. However you will notice that most sites also customize a lot. They will have libraries like jquery and react so you will have to know programming if you want uniqueness. This approach also has a cost attached t

The other option is to learn how to be a full stack web developer. The are tons of resources you can use such as:
Odin web dev for ruby.
Tango with django for python.
Freecode camp for Javascript.
thenewcode.com for HTML5 and css.
Learn ux design from visualmess.com and also download the book recommendations that he gives at the end.
I hate php so I canā€™t offer you help there.

You will also have to think about web hosting. Get a V.P.S (or dedicated hosting if you can afford it). You can take a look at a forum: webhostingtalk.com they have good reviews as the peopl are customers. I prefer intovps and linode . For Kshs. 2,000 you can get 2GB ram 40-60GB HDD and 2TB bandwidth. Also consider investing in a CDN like cloudflare maybe you can get cheaper alternatives. The second option is cheaper but will take more time.

One last thing making a website doesnā€™t mean you will make money. Ideas are virtually worthless without perfect execution so youā€™re fear of someone stealing your idea is silly because they might have a crappy way of executing. As you can see, making your own website might look cheaper but the time required is considerable. If we use economic concept of opportunity cost then maybe you can make more money elsewhere than try to use the 25,000. Employ someone and pay them well. Nothing worth having is cheap.

Sio wordpress. Ni php but frontend ni bootstrap and jquery.

I plan on MPESA only. Roughly, a developer to provide me with the Mpesa API ni ka how much?

Lipa mtu akutengenezee. The business side is more important anyway. Kama unataka book recommendations za biz pia niko nazo.
Pia join reddit. There is a lot to learn there.

freelancer.com ā€¦wakati kenyan developers wanaitisha 750K si wahindi na bangladeshis watachukua $250 na thank you mob sana? whadyufnk?

You get what you pay for. Hao bangladeshis soma reviews zao. They might only be code monkeys or people just starting out. Kama unajengewa duka ya mawe haungerisk kupata kitu mbaya just to save money. If hautaki kulipa hizo zote pea mtu equity in your company.

Software development is like making a baby. You have to support it for a good portion of its lifetime. Muhindi atakuwacha ukae after umemlipa. Any problems afterwards ni zako.

I reall canā€™t say. Every dev will give you a different cost and quality.

One more thing programming sio mchezo remember its not stand alone when it comes to the web html ,css, javascript, jquery php lazima ujue ! and not that hello world crap ! Dedicate a whole year to atleast an hour a day !

After 2 months please come back and post your progress , you will appreciate programmers !

Si kama anajiskia kucode ajifunze pia hiyo. A website like that will take like a month. So anataka kuassume that the hourly rate will be Shs. 250. Mjengo watu hulipwa how much after a dayā€™s work? Si ni afadhali waende kufanya kazi huko.

hata nimeumwa na kichwa ntarudi later. I want to start with my blood as the only cost

Most people often look at a website wanafikiria ni kuchora imechorwa na paintā€¦i can not take on a project for less than 80k myself. I would also recommend wordpress to cut the costs of webdevelopment but you will definately need a custom script to run your mpesa payment platform. I am also learning more on this so i cant really help you furtherā€¦

mwizimrefu unajua kuunda website?

Hiyo ndio kazi kampuni inafanya.

I have been away all day, guys up there know their shit. Ideas canā€™t be stolen by skilled developers, their plate is full already. Pesapal with WordPress should make the deployment cost low and a solid e-store.

nimeshindwa ku-design website ya briefcase company fulani. si unifanyie na bei ya jioni?

ndio nilikuwa nauliza swali??

kama unataka kujifundisha ā€¦unaenda python, ruby ama php?
