Hawrat — Instagram brand to international ecommerce.

Who this is for

Two kinds of businesses.
One studio that gets both.

We work with the brand just leaving Instagram and the restaurant ready to ditch its old WordPress site. Different packages. Same care.

Just starting out?

Make it official.

If you're selling on Instagram, building a brand from your kitchen, or freelancing solo — you have customers, but you don't have a home. We give you a real website, a payment link, and a way for people to find and trust you.

Start with Starter

Already established?

Scale without the chaos.

If you're running a real operation that's outgrown its tools — we build the operating system. Modern ecommerce, inventory, email marketing, automation. Set up properly the first time.

Online payments

Stripe, PayPal, Pesapal, mobile money — set up properly, working out of the box.

Email marketing

Welcome flows, newsletters, abandoned-cart reminders — set up and running.

Show up on Google

How it works

From WhatsApp message to live website, in four steps.

01

Chat with us on WhatsApp

Tell us about your business. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and quote a fixed price.

02

We design your site

You'll see real designs and previews — not vague promises. We iterate until it feels like you.

03

You review and approve

Nothing goes live until you're happy with it. We sit together (in person or on a call) and walk through it.

04

We launch — and stay with you

Monthly support is included. We're on WhatsApp when you need an update, a fix, or a new feature.

Why Built Studio

The studio we wished existed for our friends' businesses.

Most agencies are too far away, too expensive, or too detached. We built the alternative.

Small studio, senior hands

Every project is run by someone who's shipped serious software before. No juniors learning on your dime.

Fixed prices

Everything's priced upfront. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. No scope-creep tax.

Real humans

WhatsApp goes straight to a person who knows your project. Not a chatbot. Not a ticket queue.

Monthly support included

We don't ghost you after launch. Updates, fixes, and small changes are part of the plan.

Recent work

Built for independent operators.

What clients say

Words from people we've worked with.

"Before Built, I was screenshotting bank transfers and chasing customers on DMs. Every order was a conversation. Now it just runs — inventory, payments, email. It paid for itself in the first month."
Hawrat Design Studio

Modest fashion brand · International

"Ebrahim understood the product before he understood the brief. The site feels like the oil — considered, warm, unhurried. Our customers actually read it."
Fletcher Herbals

Natural haircare brand · Australia

"We went from no web presence to bookings, product sales, and a Google listing in under three weeks. The team picked up the WhatsApp at 9pm to fix a last thing before launch."

Common questions

Things people always ask.

Starter sites usually launch in 2 weeks. Business sites take 3–4 weeks. Pro builds run 6–8 weeks. We give you a clear timeline before we start, and we hit it.

We'll guide you through phone-photography that looks great, or we can introduce you to a photographer we trust. The site won't wait for perfect — we launch with what you have, and improve it as you grow.

Yes. Every package comes with a simple admin panel for editing products, pages, and prices. We train your team in person — usually it takes about an hour.

Your site keeps running. The monthly fee covers hosting, maintenance, and our support. If you cancel, we hand you the code and help you move it. No lock-in, no drama.

Our studio is based in Dar es Salaam. We work with clients across East Africa, the Gulf, the UK, and Australia — entirely remotely on most projects, with travel for the ones that warrant it. Time zones haven't been a problem yet.

Yes. We split the build cost into 50% to start and 50% on launch. For the Pro package, we can do three payments. We'll talk it through on WhatsApp.

Most likely yes. Send us the link on WhatsApp and we'll take a look. If it's a small fix we'll quote you. If it needs a rebuild, we'll be honest about that too.

Starter is for businesses that need a clean, professional presence online. Business adds payments, ecommerce, and SEO. Pro is full operations — automation, advanced inventory, and marketing tools. The packages page has the full breakdown.
