What we do

Gistiva Enterprise builds websites and online systems for businesses, and helps them get found and keep growing online. We work with clients anywhere in the world, and we can work with you wherever you are. We are not only a shop. The same team that runs the Gistiva marketplace builds and maintains the software behind it, and we do the same work for our clients.

Websites and landing pages

A business website should load fast on a phone, be easy to read and be easy for you to update. We build:

1. Business websites that explain who you are, what you sell and how to reach you.
2. Landing pages for a single product, offer or campaign.
3. Online stores where customers can browse, order and pay.
4. Booking pages for businesses that take appointments or reservations.

M-Pesa, SMS and other integrations

If your customers pay with M-Pesa, a website that cannot take M-Pesa loses sales. We connect your website or app to:

1. M-Pesa STK Push, which sends a payment prompt straight to the customer's phone.
2. C2B, which sends customer payments to your Paybill or Till.
3. B2C, which pays money out to customers, staff or suppliers.
4. SMS, for payment confirmations, one-time codes and alerts.

We run these on our own platform every day, so we advise from experience. If you are not sure which setup suits your business, for example going direct with Safaricom or through a payment provider, we explain the options and what each one involves before you decide.

Digital marketing

A good website still needs visitors. We help with:

1. Managing your social media pages.
2. Paid adverts on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google.
3. Content and branding, so your business looks and sounds consistent.

Support after launch

Launching is not the end. We keep websites running and updated, fix problems and make changes as your business changes, so you are not left alone with something you cannot maintain.

How a project usually goes

1. You tell us what your business does and what you want the website to achieve.
2. We agree what will be built before any work starts.
3. We build it and show you the result.
4. You review it and ask for changes.
5. We launch it and stay available for support.
