Overview

We are a UK-based software company branching into Rwanda and the wider continent — not an anonymous agency. You get London-grade engineering with local WhatsApp support and people who understand MoMo, diaspora buyers, and how customers actually find you on a phone. Start simple; add apps, data, and AI when the business is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you UK-based or Rwanda-based?

Founded in London (128 City Road). We deliver across the UK remotely and in person in Rwanda, with projects and partners across Africa. Invoices in GBP or RWF depending on the client.

How much does a website cost?

Simple one-page sites often start around £400 / 300,000 RWF; guest houses and shops vary. We quote after a short call — see drayengroup.com/guides/website-app-kigali.

Do you still do enterprise software?

Yes. Larger UK and NGO builds are scoped separately. Small business work funds the same engineering team — you get consistent quality.

Where is it hosted?

Modern managed cloud (e.g. Vercel, Firebase, AWS) with HTTPS. You own your domain; we manage hosting unless you prefer your own accounts.
