M-Pesa commerce · Multi-tenant publishing

Instant Portfolios

A portfolio publishing product for professionals who want a credible personal website without learning a site builder, creating a hosting account, or paying a monthly platform fee.

The problem

A strong professional website is valuable, but the traditional path is expensive, slow, and built around payment and hosting assumptions that do not fit many Kenyan customers.

The approach

The product turns structured professional evidence into a finished responsive portfolio, accepts M-Pesa payment, and publishes a permanent hosted URL immediately after Daraja confirms the transaction.
