Web design and development, from Dar es Salaam.
JS Solutions is Jay Shivram, a web developer and designer based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I build websites for businesses of every size across Tanzania and for clients abroad: designed from a blank page, built to load fast, and set up so people can actually find you afterwards.
What I build
Ten things I do, and what each one actually includes.
Most of these can be bought on their own. If you already have a site and only need one piece fixed, say which piece.
01 · Five services
Build
Websites, web applications and AI that do a job for your business, from a single page to a full system.
Business websites
A full site for your company, structured so customers find what they need in seconds.
- Home, services, about, and contact pages built around your business
- Gallery, testimonial, and FAQ sections where they earn their place
- Google Maps and social links wired in
- Optional admin dashboard so you can edit content without calling a developer
Landing pages
A single, sharp page for a launch, a campaign, or a personal brand. Built to make the point fast.
- One page, designed from scratch rather than dropped into a theme
- WhatsApp chat button, which is how most Tanzanian customers prefer to open a conversation
- A clear path to calling, messaging, or enquiring
- Live in three to seven days
Digital resumes
A living CV you share with one link, instead of emailing a PDF and hoping it opens.
- One-page resume site, custom designed
- About, experience, projects, skills, and education
- Contact form routed to email and WhatsApp
- A free subdomain if you do not have a domain yet
Quoted on scopeCustom web applications
Software built around how your business works, quoted on scope from your requirements.
- Dashboards and internal tools your team works from
- Client portals for documents, orders and bookings
- Tools that automate a slow, manual job
- A written quote and timeline before any work starts
- Quoted on scope
AI solutions
AI doing a specific job inside your business, not a gimmick.
- Chat assistants for your customers, in English or Swahili
- Reading receipts, invoices and forms so nobody types them in
- Automating routine reports, replies and records
- Quoted on scope, with an honest answer on whether AI fits
02 · Two services
Design
The look and the structure, settled before any code is written, or a tired site brought back to life.
UI/UX and brand systems
Colours, type, and components defined once and reused everywhere, so pages you add later still look like they belong to you.
- Wireframes through to polished, buildable mockups
- Useful on its own if you already have a developer
- A component set your site can grow into
- Design decided before code, so nothing is rebuilt twice
Website redesign
For a site that exists but is not doing its job: dated, slow on a phone, impossible to update, or bringing in no enquiries.
- Keeps what already works instead of starting from zero
- Pages that rank keep their addresses, so search history carries over
- Faster and easier to use on a phone
- A clearer way for customers to get in touch
03 · Two services
Grow
Being found on Google, and a site that stays fast, safe and current long after launch day.
SEO and local search setup
Being built well is not the same as being found. Every build ships with the groundwork done.
- Google Business Profile set up so you can appear in the local map results
- Site submitted to Google rather than left to be discovered
- Titles, descriptions, and structured data written per page
- Available as a standalone audit and fix for a site somebody else built
Maintenance and care
A site is not finished the day it goes live. The monthly plan means you never think about the technical side.
- Hosting, domain, and SSL kept current
- Regular backups and uptime monitoring
- Security updates and monthly content changes
- Priority WhatsApp support, cancellable any time
04 · One service
Partner
For agencies with more projects than people, and companies that need a developer without hiring one.
- Quoted on scope
Outsourced web work
You hand over the brief, I design and build it, and it comes back ready to launch.
- A written scope and quote agreed before work starts
- Built to your brief, your brand and your deadlines
- White-label for agencies: it goes out under your name
- Code and files handed over to you or your client
Working locally
What hiring someone in Tanzania actually changes.
Plenty of the work could be done from anywhere. These are the parts that genuinely are not the same.
Same working day as you
I am in East Africa Time, so calls and questions happen inside your working day, not overnight after an agency in another hemisphere wakes up.
Built for how Tanzania browses
Most of your visitors arrive on a phone, often on a patchy connection. Sites are designed mobile-first and kept light so they load rather than stall.
Quoted and paid in shillings
Prices are set in TZS, so there is no exchange-rate surprise between the quote and the invoice. International clients can see the same prices converted.
Local, not limited to local
Based in Dar es Salaam and working across Tanzania, plus clients abroad. Everything runs over calls, email, and WhatsApp, so where you are is never the constraint.
Every build also includes a Google Business Profile set up for you and the site submitted to Google, so a new business is not invisible on the day it launches. See the work for what that looks like finished, or the packages for scope and prices.
Where I work
What a website needs changes with where you trade.
A safari operator in Arusha and a wholesaler in Kariakoo want almost opposite things from a website. Based in Dar es Salaam, working across Tanzania: these pages go through what each place actually needs.
How a project runs
Four steps. No surprises.
The steps overlap on purpose: design starts while we are still talking, and you see the site while it is being built, not only at the end.
- Discover
- Design
- Build
- Launch
Discover
A short call about your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do for you. No jargon, no pressure.
Design
A first look at the layout, colours, and type, built around your content, not a generic template.
Build
The design becomes a real, working site. You see progress along the way, not just at the end.
Launch
The site goes live on your domain, checked on phone, tablet, and desktop before you share it with a single customer.

A short message about what you do and who you sell to is enough. You get a straight answer on which service fits, what it costs, and how long it takes.
