Question 1

I already have a Facebook page. What does a website add?

Accepted Answer

Facebook remains the country's largest social channel: about 5.45 million users in Cameroon in early 2025, or 18.5% of the population. But it is rented ground: the algorithm decides who sees you, and the reach of a post stays at the mercy of a rule change. Your website is your own land: an address you own, that Google indexes, that receives your campaigns and that converts without an intermediary. The two work together: Facebook captures attention, the website converts it.

Question 2

What are your timelines?

Accepted Answer

A brochure site: 2 to 4 weeks. A full identity: 3 weeks. The Signature Offer: 30 days. Software projects depend on scope, and we commit to dates rather than to promises. These benchmarks match the Cameroonian market, where a professional site takes 3 to 5 weeks and an online store 4 to 8 weeks. You get a schedule with an approval point between each stage.

Question 3

How much does a website cost in Cameroon?

Accepted Answer

Prices observed on the Cameroonian market in 2025-2026 range from 70,000 FCFA for a single-page mini-site to more than 1,500,000 FCFA for a custom portal. A professional brochure site of 4 to 7 pages sits between 150,000 and 400,000 FCFA. A site with a blog and SEO starts around 300,000 to 750,000 FCFA. An online store starts near 300,000 FCFA for 20 to 50 products with mobile-money payment, and easily passes 600,000 to 800,000 FCFA once stock management is required. At CDA every project is quoted individually: you leave the strategy session with a clear range before any commitment.

Question 4

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money or bank transfer. Instalment plans are available on most projects. The amount and the schedule are confirmed before we start, so billing is never a surprise halfway through.

Question 5

Why is my website so slow?

Accepted Answer

The median fixed connection in Cameroon was 9.48 Mbps in early 2025, and 83.6% of mobile connections are broadband-capable. On a real network, a page of several megabytes takes several seconds to appear, and the delay gets worse on entry-level phones, which are the majority here. The usual causes are uncompressed images, unoptimised fonts, stacked tracking scripts and a site tested only from a fast connection. Aim for under 1 MB on the first page.

Question 6

How much does a website cost per year?

Accepted Answer

A website is a recurring budget, not a one-off purchase. On the Cameroonian market, expect 8,000 to 20,000 FCFA per year for a domain name depending on the extension, 30,000 to 80,000 FCFA per year for decent hosting, and 10,000 to 25,000 FCFA per month for maintenance, updates and security. A 5,000 FCFA per year offer looks attractive, but it usually hides a slow server, frequent outages and no technical support.

Question 7

Does SEO actually work in Cameroon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it does not play the same role as in Europe. Internet penetration stood at 41.9% in early 2025, with 12.4 million users online. Your audience is smaller but better qualified: someone searching Google for your service has already decided to buy. That is why local SEO and voice search matter more here, since a large share of searches happens on a phone, in French, and often out loud.

Question 8

How do I take payments on my website?

Accepted Answer

Two operators dominate mobile payments in Cameroon: Orange Money and MTN Mobile Money. Supporting both is the minimum, otherwise you give up a large part of the market. Rather than two separate integrations, a local aggregator simplifies the build: NotchPay brings Orange Money, MTN Money and card payments into a single integration, and Monetbil and PayDunya are established alternatives. Card payments alone are not enough, a large share of the population pays with their phone.

Question 9

Are my future customers really online?

Accepted Answer

A large share are not: about 58.1% of the population, or 17.1 million people, were not using the internet in early 2025. A website alone therefore does not cover the whole market. What works is a website that explains and reassures, a WhatsApp number reachable in one tap, and campaigns that also reach people offline. We design the site as the conversion point towards WhatsApp, not as a replacement for the relationship.

Question 10

What happens after delivery?

Accepted Answer

We do not disappear. Maintenance, content updates and campaigns: monthly support plans exist, with no forced commitment. On the market, maintenance sits between 10,000 and 25,000 FCFA per month. That is the budget that keeps the site online and your prices up to date.

Question 11

How does an online store actually sell?

Accepted Answer

A WhatsApp catalogue remains a sales channel in its own right, often before the website. On the market, a simple store of 20 to 50 products with MTN Mobile Money payment starts around 300,000 FCFA. A store with stock management and an admin dashboard easily passes 600,000 to 800,000 FCFA, and the most complete projects sit between 500,000 and 1,800,000 FCFA over 4 to 8 weeks. The order that works best: a WhatsApp catalogue to validate demand, then a website to convert and retain.

Question 12

Why do some agencies quote 50,000 FCFA?

Accepted Answer

That is the price of a ready-made theme, not of a site built for your business. An agency promising a site delivered in 48 hours for 60,000 FCFA is reusing a generic template with no real customisation. You get a page that looks like hundreds of others, with no local SEO, no mobile optimisation and none of your brand. A quote that mentions neither the number of pages, nor who supplies the content, nor whether hosting is included, is a quote for a template.

Question 13

Is a European agency necessarily more expensive?

Accepted Answer

For a comparable result, a European agency generally charges between 400,000 and 1,500,000 FCFA for the same work. The difference is justified by proximity, knowledge of the local market, invoicing in FCFA and acceptance of mobile money. It is not well justified if the conversation happens only in English and nobody knows the market.

Question 14

Which channels should my advertising budget go to?

Accepted Answer

The early-2025 numbers are fairly clear. Facebook had about 5.45 million users in Cameroon, LinkedIn about 1.40 million, and Instagram's advertising reach was equivalent to 2.0% of the population. Facebook is therefore the mass channel. LinkedIn only makes sense for a B2B offer or an international clientele. Instagram does not justify a large budget on its own. The right measure is not total audience but cost per lead.

Question 15

What is an AI agent, concretely?

Accepted Answer

It is an assistant that answers your customers on WhatsApp around the clock, qualifies their requests, and hands over only the conversations that deserve a human. It connects to the tools you already use: a spreadsheet, your point-of-sale software, your website. And it is trained on your information rather than on generic answers. In a market where conversation happens mostly on WhatsApp, that is the channel where an immediate reply genuinely changes the outcome.

Question 16

Do you work with clients outside Yaoundé?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is the normal way we work. Everything happens remotely, by video call and screen sharing, with online approval. Travel is not billed as an extra. For billing, MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money cover the whole country.

Question 17

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Traffic is encrypted, access is per-person, and your data is never resold or used to train a third-party model. The agents we deploy run in a dedicated space with configurable retention: you decide what is kept and for how long.

Question 18

What if I am not happy with the result?

Accepted Answer

You approve before each delivery stage, not only at the end. If the final round of changes is not right, we redo it without charging you a second time. The goal is that you never see the finished result for the first time on launch day.
