Let’s be real: more Kenyans are turning to the internet to find opportunities that actually pay — and one skill that's quietly making people money behind the scenes? Website Design.

Yes, watu wako kwa ground wanachapa serious deals just by creating simple websites for small businesses, startups, influencers, and even churches.

But what exactly does it mean to design websites — and how do you make money from it?

1. Start with WordPress (No Coding Needed)

Gone are the days you needed to be a hardcore developer to build a site. With platforms like WordPress, anyone — even beginners — can design stunning websites using drag-and-drop tools like Elementor or WPBakery. That’s exactly how I started, and trust me, it works.

And guess what? You don’t need a laptop worth 100K. A good internet connection and basic design skills are enough to start.

2. Get Clients from Social Media or WhatsApp Groups

Most local business owners don’t even know how to start building their online presence. That’s your goldmine.

• Pitch to shop owners on Instagram or Facebook.

• Join WhatsApp business groups and offer web design services.

• Share before/after screenshots of websites you’ve built (use templates at first).

3. Charge Smart — Even Beginners Get Paid

You don’t need to be an “expert” to earn. Beginners in Kenya charge anything from Ksh 8,000 to Ksh 25,000 for a basic WordPress site. As you get better, you can include:

• E-commerce setups (Jumia-style)

• Booking systems (for salons, hotels)

• Blogs and portfolios

4. Where to Learn Web Design Skills (Free & Paid)

If you're new, start with:

• YouTube: Just search “how to build a website with WordPress”.

• Udemy: Affordable courses, some for as low as Ksh 500.

• Skillshare or LinkedIn Learning (if you want a more pro-level touch)

5. Passive Income Ideas With Web Design

After learning, you can start creating:

• Website templates and selling them

• Blog websites that you monetize with AdSense or affiliate links

• Reselling hosting + web design as a package
