To begin with, share what you have in mind — even rough notes — and we’ll suggest a structure and prepare a quotation.
Websites that do a job, not just look good
A website for a Ugandan organisation has a handful of jobs to do well. Above all, it should explain clearly what you offer and load quickly on a phone with patchy data. It should make it easy to call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry, while people searching for what you do should find it. It should also be something your own staff can update without calling a developer every time a phone number changes.
In short, that is the standard we design to. Since 2017, Generation Solutions has built websites for hospitals, hotels, real estate firms, retailers, consultancies, logistics companies, foundations and service clubs — you can visit every one of them from our portfolio. Still, each project starts with the same question: what does this organisation need its website to achieve?
This page covers the kinds of websites we build, how a project runs, what to prepare, and how we look after sites once they are live.

What makes a business website effective
Clear messaging above everything else
Visitors decide within seconds whether they are in the right place. That is why the first screen of each page should say what you do, who it is for and what to do next. We help you write or refine that copy rather than filling templates with generic text.
Mobile-first design
In fact, most of your visitors will arrive on a phone. We design for small screens first, with readable text, buttons big enough to tap and phone numbers that dial when touched. Layouts never scroll sideways. Then we expand the design for tablets and desktops.
Speed on real connections
In particular, large images and heavy plugins are the usual reasons sites feel slow. For this reason, we size and compress images, avoid unnecessary scripts and pair the site with suitable web hosting.
Easy ways to make contact
Call buttons, WhatsApp links, enquiry forms that actually deliver, and your address and directions where they are easy to find. Overall, every page should give a visitor an obvious next step.
Search-friendly foundations
Clean page structure, descriptive titles and headings, fast loading, image descriptions and an XML sitemap give search engines what they need. For ongoing visibility work, see our SEO services.
Accessibility
Good colour contrast, readable font sizes, keyboard-friendly navigation and meaningful image descriptions make a site usable for more people — and usually make it better for everyone.
How a website project runs
1
Discovery
We discuss your goals, audience, the pages you need, examples you like and any existing site, domain or hosting. For larger projects we document this as a short brief.
2
Proposal & quotation
You receive a written scope listing the pages, features and responsibilities, with timelines and a quotation based on that scope.
3
Structure & content plan
We agree the sitemap and what goes on each page. This is where we identify missing content — photos, team details, service descriptions — early.
4
Design
We create the visual design using your brand colours and logo, starting with the homepage and a key inner page, and revise it with your feedback.
5
Development
The site is built responsively, with forms, galleries and other features configured and tested on a private address.
6
Testing & launch
We test on phones, tablets and computers, check forms and links, set up SSL and redirects, then launch and submit the sitemap to Google.
7
Training & handover
Your team is shown how to update content, and you receive the administrator access and account details your organisation owns.
Generally, timelines depend mainly on scope and how quickly content is ready. Waiting for content is the single most common cause of delay, so we help you plan it from the start. Read more on how we work.
What to prepare before you contact us
You don’t need everything ready before the first conversation, but these make the quotation more accurate and the project faster:
- your logo in good quality, and brand colours if you have them;
- a list of the pages or sections you expect to need;
- two or three websites you like, and what you like about them;
- your domain name, or ideas for one;
- existing photos of your premises, team, products or projects;
- who on your team will approve designs and supply content;
- any deadlines, such as a launch event or board meeting.
E-commerce website development
An online shop is more than a website with prices on it. It needs product management, stock handling, delivery options, order notifications and a checkout that customers trust. Before we build, we discuss:
- how many products you sell and how often they change;
- which payment options your customers expect, and what each provider requires from your business;
- how you will price and deliver orders within Kampala, upcountry and abroad;
- who will process orders and update stock day to day;
- what reports you need on sales and customers.
Specifically, we build most online shops on WordPress with WooCommerce, which is flexible and widely supported. However, integrating a payment gateway depends on that provider’s approval process, which we help you navigate. E-commerce sites also need dependable hosting with SSL and regular backups.
Website redesign and redevelopment
Sometimes the right move is a fresh start; sometimes it is a careful refresh. In particular, signs that a site needs a redesign include layouts that break on phones and a dated look that no longer fits your organisation. Others include content nobody can edit, as well as security warnings from an abandoned theme or plugin.
However, a redesign done badly can lose search visibility the old site had built up over years. To prevent that, we:
- list every existing page and decide what to keep, merge or retire;
- set up 301 redirects from old addresses to their new equivalents;
- carry over page titles and content that already perform well in search;
- check Google Search Console after launch for errors and missing pages.
Website maintenance, updates and security
A website is not finished at launch. For example, WordPress, themes and plugins release updates regularly, many of them security fixes. Content goes out of date. Forms stop delivering when an email password changes. In short, maintenance keeps all of that under control.
Depending on what you need, a maintenance arrangement can include:
- core, theme and plugin updates, applied after a backup;
- content updates — new pages, news items, staff changes, photos;
- regular checks that forms, SSL and key pages work;
- speed optimisation as the site grows;
- security clean-up after a hack, and hardening afterwards;
- migration to new hosting when needed.
If you have a website built by another developer that now needs looking after, we can review it and recommend whether to maintain, improve or rebuild it.
WordPress or custom development?
We build most websites on WordPress. That is because it is widely supported, easy for non-technical staff to update, and backed by a huge range of tools. That is why it suits business sites, NGO and school websites, blogs and most online shops.
However, a custom-built site or a lightweight static site can make sense in some cases. In particular, it suits sites where speed and security come first, content rarely changes, or no existing platform provides the features you need. On the other hand, the trade-off is that changes usually need a developer.
We’ll recommend the approach that fits how your organisation will use and maintain the site, and explain the trade-offs before you decide.
Managing your own content
We want you to be able to update your website without us. That is why, at handover, we show your editors how to change text, add images, publish news and update common sections. We also leave simple written notes for reference.
We also give your organisation administrator-level access and make sure the domain and hosting accounts are in its name. You are never locked in to Generation Solutions — although we hope you will want to keep working with us.
How website projects are quoted
We offer three clear packages: a Professional Website at UGX 900,000, which includes a domain and hosting for the first year, a Corporate Website at UGX 1,900,000 and an Enterprise Website at UGX 3,500,000. Overall, the right one depends on how many pages you need, whether you sell online, and how much your team will manage. If your project needs extra work, such as content writing or a connection to another system, we quote it in writing before we start. Compare them on our website design prices page.
Website design questions
How long does it take to build a website?
Generally, it depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and feedback are ready. For example, a small business site can move quickly; larger sites with many pages or e-commerce take longer. Before work starts, we agree a timeline in the proposal.
Do you write the website content?
We can certainly help structure and refine content, and write service copy where agreed in the scope. You know your organisation best, so we usually work from your information and turn it into clear web copy.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes. In fact, we build most of our websites on WordPress, and we train the people who will update the site.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing my Google rankings?
During a redesign, we take care to preserve what is working: keeping valuable content, mapping old addresses to new ones with redirects and checking Search Console after launch. No one can guarantee rankings, but these steps avoid the most common losses.
Do you also provide hosting and a domain?
Yes. In addition, we can register your domain and host your website and email, or work with your existing providers if you prefer.
Who owns the website after it is built?
Your organisation. Above all, we register domains in your name and hand over administrator access at launch.
