JS Solutions is a web design and web development business based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, run by Jay Shivram. It designs and builds websites, custom web applications and AI solutions for businesses of every size across Tanzania and for clients worldwide, takes on outsourced web work from agencies and companies, and also offers bookkeeping and tax filing to businesses in Dar es Salaam city centre.

In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. JS Solutions works with clients across Tanzania and worldwide, and projects run over calls, email and WhatsApp, so where a client is never limits the work.

No. JS Solutions, the web design and development business run by Jay Shivram in Dar es Salaam, has one official website (js-solutions.co.tz), one LinkedIn page (linkedin.com/company/js-solutions-co-tz) and one Instagram account (@js.solutions.co). Any other business, website or social account using the name JS Solutions is not affiliated with Jay Shivram or with this business. All three official accounts are listed on the About page.

Only @js.solutions.co (instagram.com/js.solutions.co). It is the one Instagram account for JS Solutions, the web design and development business run by Jay Shivram in Dar es Salaam, and its profile links back to js-solutions.co.tz. Other accounts and businesses with a similar name are not connected to JS Solutions or to Jay Shivram.

Yes. Web design and development are available anywhere in Tanzania, including Arusha, Zanzibar and Morogoro, at the same prices as in Dar es Salaam. Only the accounting service is limited to Dar es Salaam city centre.

Yes. JS Solutions is based in Dar es Salaam, but everything runs over calls, email and WhatsApp, so location is never a barrier. Prices are shown in USD, GBP or INR as well as shillings, with nothing marked up for being abroad.

It depends mostly on how many pages you need and whether you want to edit the content yourself. JS Solutions publishes every package with its price in Tanzanian shillings on its pricing page, from a one-page site to a multi-page business website, and every package includes the domain and hosting for the first year.

Ask to see live websites they built, not just screenshots. Get the price and the timeline agreed in writing before work starts. Make sure the domain, hosting and site will be registered in your name. Check that the site will work well on a phone, since that is how most Tanzanians browse. And make sure you can reach the person actually doing the work.

Yes. Every JS Solutions business website includes a Google Business Profile set up for you and the site submitted to Google, with titles, descriptions and structured data written for each page. An SEO and performance audit is also available on its own for a site somebody else built.

A short conversation about your business, any logo or brand colours you already have, and the words and images you want on the site. If some of that is missing, I will guide you through it.

With the Managed Business Website, yes. It comes with an admin dashboard so you can edit content, blogs, or products without calling a developer. The handover walks you through exactly how it works.

I check it on phone, tablet, and desktop before launch, and I stay reachable for small fixes afterwards. Larger changes down the line can be quoted as a separate piece of work, or covered by the monthly Website Care plan.

You do. The domain, the hosting account, and the site itself are yours once the project is paid for and live. There is no lock-in and nothing held back.

Yes. JS Solutions builds custom web applications, such as dashboards, client portals and tools that automate slow work, and adds AI to businesses, such as customer assistants and document reading. These are quoted on scope: send your requirements through the contact page or on WhatsApp, and you get a written quote and timeline before any work starts.

Yes. JS Solutions takes on outsourced website, web application and AI work, for agencies that need more hands and for companies without a developer of their own. Agencies can have the work white-label, under their own name. Each project is quoted on scope, or ongoing monthly work is agreed up front. Outsourcing covers web work only, not accounting.

No. Besides websites, JS Solutions builds custom web applications and AI solutions, quoted on scope, and agencies and companies can outsource any of that web work to it. I am also a practising accountant in Dar es Salaam, so bookkeeping, financial statements, and TRA filing are available as a separate service, for businesses in Dar es Salaam city centre only. The two lines of work are priced and run separately.
