Startup Essentials services by The Tunnel Digital Agency in Kampala, Uganda

Everything Registered in Your Name

Starting a business in Uganda involves enough moving parts without also having to find a designer, a developer, a hosting provider and someone who understands domains, then hoping the four of them produce something coherent.

The Startup Essentials Package puts everything a new business needs to appear online into one fixed-price engagement: identity, website, domain, professional email and social profiles, set up properly and handed over in your name.

This matters more than most founders realise. We register your domain and hosting under accounts that belong to you, with credentials handed over in writing at the end of the project. Too many Ugandan businesses discover years later that their web developer owns their domain and they cannot move without paying to get it back.

We handle .ug registration as well as .com, set up business email on your own domain so you are not running a company from a Gmail address, and configure it correctly so your messages reach inboxes rather than spam folders.

What You Get

A complete online presence ready to trade, with a walkthrough session so you can update your own content afterwards rather than calling us for every small change.

What Happens Week by Week

In the first week we agree the brand direction and secure your domain, because good names go quickly and the registration should be in your name from the start. We also set up your business email so you can begin trading professionally straight away.

Weeks two and three cover the identity and the website build. You review a design before development starts, so there are no surprises, and we build mobile-first because that is how nearly all your visitors will arrive.

The final stage is handover. We walk you through updating your own content, hand over every credential in writing, and make sure your social profiles are set up consistently with the new identity.

Mistakes We See New Businesses Make

The most damaging is not owning your own domain. If a developer registers it under their account, you are one disagreement away from losing the address your customers know you by. We register everything in your name and hand you the logins.

The second is running a business from a personal Gmail address. It costs very little to have email on your own domain, and it changes how suppliers and larger clients read you.

The third is building something you cannot maintain. A site that requires a developer for every small text change becomes stale within months. We build so you can make routine updates yourself and call us only when you actually need us.

Other Services We Offer

Most clients combine two or three of these. If you are not sure where to start, talk to us and we will tell you honestly what will move the needle first.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 01. How quickly can we be online?
    A standard package takes two to four weeks from the point your content and approvals are in. The domain and email can usually be live within a few days if you need something working immediately.
  • We quote a fixed price in writing before any work starts, based on how many pages you need and whether you require e-commerce or booking features. There are no surprise additions later.
  • Yes. The package is built to grow. Plenty of clients start here and add e-commerce, a booking system or ongoing social management once the business is trading.
