Design-led digital product studio · Westlands, Nairobi

Websites and brands that make growing businesses look as serious as they are.

I'm Luis. I design and build every project myself, so the person you brief is the person who does the work. Fixed prices, from $250 USD.

What you get

The same person, from first call to launch.

01

Senior attention

You work with me, the owner, from first call to launch. No account managers, no handoffs. I reply within one working day.

02

Support after launch

30 days of fixes on anything I got wrong are included. After that, a capped monthly retainer if you want ongoing care.

03

A simpler offer

Three services, fixed-price proposals, no hourly billing. You see what each part costs and can remove what you don't need.

04

No obscure promises

I won't promise rankings, viral traffic or guaranteed sales. I promise what I control: clear design, fast pages, and delivery on the date I agree.

Proof

This site is the demo

Anyone can claim a fast, clean website. Here is mine, measured from this site's own source on the date of the latest build.

  • Fast. 125 KB of CSS and JavaScript in total, nothing loaded from third parties.
  • Private. No tracking scripts and no cookies, so there is no cookie banner to manage.
  • Sound. 1,275 internal links checked, 0 broken.
  • Checkable. The build script and repository are public. If a number is wrong, you can prove it in a minute.

How I work

Four stages, one person

01
Research

I learn how people behave and map the problem before touching a pixel.

02
Structure

Information architecture and user journeys.

03
Visual

High-fidelity design, components and motion.

04
Build

Production-ready code, or a clean developer handoff.

Standard delivery is 20 business days. A 10-business-day sprint costs +$100 and needs quick feedback from you.

Who is behind it

The person you brief is the person who builds it.

I'm Luis Howin Maina, owner, lead designer and builder at Beben Design. I'm a UX researcher and UI designer who also writes the code, so design decisions here are made with the build in mind.

Questions

FAQ

From $250 USD. That includes design and build, help securing your domain, a custom email address on Google Workspace, foundational SEO and foundational branding.

20 business days as standard. A 10-business-day sprint is +$100 and needs quick feedback from you.

30 days of fixes for anything I got wrong, then an optional retainer.

Yes, and it starts with a UX audit so the redesign solves real problems instead of painting over them. The audit is quoted after a short review.

Yes, and I say so. I use it in my workflow where it speeds up production, and I stay accountable for everything I ship.

Low-drama: clear thinking, direct feedback, and the occasional rabbit hole when a detail turns out to matter.
