When Alex Mwangi witnessed the challenges entrepreneurs faced in search of a website that would translate visitors into paying customers, he decided to create a solution thanks to his skills in web designing.
Mwangi started a studio in Nairobi in a bid to help Kenyan entrepreneurs scale their businesses through the use of websites as the main sales tool.
Christened AK Studios, the platform has highly contributed to the growth of businesses across Africa, having worked with over 310 businesses across Kenya and Africa.
“My journey into web design started out of a frustration with subpar websites that didn’t deliver real results, pushing me to establish AK Studios Africa in Nairobi, a web design agency focused on conversions and impact,” he says.
“I launched AK Studios after witnessing firsthand the struggles entrepreneurs faced with websites that looked good but didn’t translate visitors into paying customers. My goal was to provide something different: websites that don’t just look attractive but are strategically designed to convert,” he added.

AK Studios mainly focuses on web design services and also provides its customers with additional services in conversion rate optimization, sales funnels, and digital marketing strategy.
“At AK Studios, we offer comprehensive web design services focused on building high-converting websites. We specialize in creating customized websites that meet our clients’ needs, from e-commerce to business sites,” Mwangi explained.
Emphasizing the importance of delivering quality services, the entrepreneur noted excellent services has seen his company win the hearts of over 200 clients.
“We combine creative design with data-driven strategy to ensure each website we build supports our clients’ growth. We also back our services with a money-back guarantee, ensuring our clients’ peace of mind.”
The entrepreneur further added that his business journey taught him the importance of continually refining services to meet evolving client demands.
He named resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering focus on customer needs as the secrets to business growth.
“For aspiring entrepreneurs, I’d say focus on understanding the specific pain points your product or service can address and use that knowledge to deliver real value. Perseverance, patience, and a willingness to learn from every experience are essential,” he advised.
Mwangi envisions AK Studios as a leading web design agency in Africa, helping businesses across the continent build online presences that convert.
In addition, he plans to expand service offerings to include advanced digital solutions, digital ads, and more comprehensive marketing support for his clients in the next five years.
