The work we do for Kenyan businesses, built to App Artery’s standard and scoped to the size of yours.
Websites and digital presence
A fast site you own outright, on your own domain, with photography that is actually yours.
Most Kenyan business sites are templates: rented, slow, and full of photographs of nobody you know. We build the opposite: designed around what you sell, built as pages that need no server, and delivered from Amazon's network so they load quickly on a phone over 4G.
Content changes come to us as words and pictures. We publish them the same way we publish code, with a review and a build that checks every page.
What you get
A design you approve before anything is built
Your own domain, secure by default, delivered from Amazon's CloudFront network
Photography from Kiana Creatives, or none. Never stock
Updates published for you, with the same review as the first build
Cloud products and internal tools
Web applications and back-office tools on AWS, built and run by engineers who have done it before.
When a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group stop being enough, you need software that fits how you actually operate: customer portals, booking and ordering, operations dashboards, the systems behind the counter.
The people who design it also build it and run it, with the decisions written down so nothing lives only in one head.
What you get
A written architecture, reviewed before the build starts
Your systems in your own AWS account, defined as code you keep
Monitoring, and a named engineer when something breaks
Documentation and a clean handover, should you ever want to leave
Brand photography with Kiana Creatives
Portraits, premises and product photography made in Kenya, released for use on your site and your channels.
Kiana Creatives is Thrivy's own visual studio. Its photographers shoot portraits, premises, products and events in Kenya, so your channels show your business rather than a stock library's idea of one.
Every shoot is planned around where the pictures will be used, and every person in frame signs a release, so you can publish without a second thought.
What you get
A shot list built from your site's needs, not a generic package
Model releases handled for everyone in frame
Files delivered sized for web and for print
Rights to use the pictures across your own channels
How we build
Four stages, the same for a five-page site and a back-office system. AI speeds every one of them; an engineer is accountable for every line that ships.
1
Discover
A working session on what your business needs, not a questionnaire. We leave with a written brief you have approved.
2
Design
Every screen is designed and approved before it is built, so nothing is guessed at in code.
3
Build
Typed, tested and reviewed. AI speeds the work; an engineer signs it off.
4
Ship
Published by pull request to AWS, then kept running. Nothing goes live by hand.
