Established companies that need digital products, internal tools, or a refreshed brand presence. Senior team, dedicated capacity.

— Why byiza

A studio built for the way African business actually works.

Not a freelancer marketplace. Not a tech-bro agency. A small, deliberate studio rooted in Kigali, building for the continent.

Made in Africa, for Africa

Our team works from Kigali. We understand local markets, payment realities, and the businesses we're building for — because we are them.

Pause or cancel, anytime

No annual contracts. No setup fees. No ransom on your domain. Subscribe when you need us, pause when you don't. Real flexibility.

Real design, not templates

Every byiza site is custom-designed by a real human. We don't recycle layouts. Your business doesn't deserve to look like someone else's.

Ship in 2 weeks

From brief to live URL in fourteen days. We use modern tools and a tight process so you stop waiting and start trading.

— Questions, answered

Things you might be wondering.

Do you only work with businesses in Rwanda?

No — we're based in Kigali but we work with clients across Africa and beyond. Most communication happens over email or Slack, with occasional video calls. If you're in our timezone or close to it, even better.

What if I already have a website?

We can redesign it, rebuild it, or take over hosting and maintenance. Lots of our clients come to us with something they're embarrassed by — that's fine, we don't judge. We'll audit what you have and recommend the right path.

Can I pay in local currency?

Yes. We accept RWF, USD, KES, NGN, GBP, EUR, and stablecoin. Whatever's easiest for you. Prices on this site are quoted in USD for clarity.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep your domain, your design files, and the code. We'll help you transfer everything to your own hosting if you want. No drama, no clawbacks. A good business relationship should end as cleanly as it started.

Do you do e-commerce?

Yes — on Studio and Enterprise plans. We build with Shopify, Stripe, Flutterwave, MTN MoMo, and Paystack depending on what makes sense for your market.

Can you handle a big enterprise project?

Yes. Our Enterprise plan is for multi-site brands, web applications, and bigger digital products. We scale up our team for specific projects when needed, with senior contributors we've worked with before. Book a call and tell us what you're trying to do.

How do I get started?

Book a call or email us at byizaagency@gmail.com. We'll have a 15-minute conversation, send you a written proposal within 24 hours, and if it's a fit we'll start the same week.
