The Problem
Most Nigerian small businesses have no web presence at all. When they do get a website, it is usually a stale brochure-ware page that took a freelancer three weeks to deliver and costs ₦150,000 they could not really afford. The freelancer is long gone; the business owner cannot update a word.
The conventional "website builder" alternatives — Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy — are not built for Nigeria. Payment integration means Stripe (not available to Nigerian merchants directly). Domain registration defaults to USD. The templates look like they belong in Manchester, not Maiduguri. Even if the interface were perfect, a bakery owner in Lagos should not need to understand the difference between a hero section and a call-to-action button to get a professional website.
I built WebDigitize to solve this end-to-end: a platform where a Nigerian business owner fills in a short onboarding form — business name, type, brief description, preferred visual style, phone, city — and receives a complete, multi-page, styled website with a live subdomain and e-commerce capability within minutes.
The hard part is step one: taking those five fields and producing a website that looks like a human designed it.
