How we work

  1. 01

    Discover (about 1 week)

    We map your customers, offers and competitors, agree the sitemap and the goal of each page, and choose the stack. You get a written scope and timeline before design starts.

  2. 02

    Design (1 to 2 weeks)

    We shape the page structure and key copy with you, then design the main pages mobile-first. You review real layouts on your own phone, not static mood boards.

  3. 03

    Build (2 to 4 weeks)

    We develop against the performance budget, harden security, set up SEO and tracking, and connect payments for stores. You test everything on a private preview link.

  4. 04

    Launch & measure

    We run the launch checklist: redirects, Search Console, analytics, speed and security tests. Then we watch real data and fix what the first weeks reveal, within 30 days of support.

  5. 05

    Grow

    You own everything after handover. Keep improving on your own, or add SEO, Google Ads or AI search visibility when you are ready to bring in more visitors.

Our website development service builds fast, secure websites and online stores for businesses in Cameroon and worldwide, in English and French. MyBebine is a product of Los Bebes Inc, a software and cybersecurity engineering company based in Bamenda, and we build websites the way we build software: measured, hardened and documented. When the project ends, you own everything.

Why does website development need speed and security in 2026?

Most of your visitors arrive on a phone, using mobile data. In Cameroon, DataReportal counted 29.0 million mobile connections and 12.6 million internet users in late 2025 (Digital 2026: Cameroon). Every extra megabyte costs them money and patience, and the typical site is heavy: the median mobile home page weighed 2,559 KB in HTTP Archive’s July 2025 crawl (Web Almanac 2025).

Google measures that experience. Its Core Web Vitals rate a page as good when the main content appears within 2.5 seconds, interactions respond within 200 milliseconds and layout shift stays at 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of visits (web.dev).

Machines read your site too. Googlebot crawls only the first 2 MB of an HTML file, and a December 2024 analysis by Vercel found that the major AI crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity don’t run JavaScript. If your prices, services or FAQs only appear after scripts load, those crawlers see an empty page.

Security is the other half. The OWASP Top 10 for 2025 ranks broken access control and security misconfiguration first and second, followed by software supply chain failures: exactly the risks an outdated plugin or a forgotten admin account creates. For online stores, a hacked checkout can also get products disapproved in Google Merchant Center under its compromised sites policy.

Who is our website development service for?

  • Businesses in Cameroon that need a credible bilingual website customers can reach on WhatsApp in one tap.
  • Shops ready to sell online with Mobile Money, cards or both, on Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build.
  • Companies abroad that want a fast, secure site built to a written performance budget.
  • Schools, clinics, hotels and NGOs replacing a slow or hacked website without losing search traffic.
  • Advertisers who need fast landing pages with conversion tracking that works.

What’s included in a MyBebine website build?

Strategy and conversion copy

A discovery workshop sets the sitemap, the goal of each page and the questions buyers ask before they buy. We then build the copy structure in English and French: clear offers, prices where you can show them, short forms and WhatsApp buttons where people expect them.

A design system made for your brand

We design a small system of colors, type, components and page layouts for your brand, instead of dressing up an off-the-shelf theme. It keeps every future page consistent, and it keeps pages light.

The right stack for the job

We build on Astro or static HTML for content sites, WordPress when your team wants a familiar editor, Shopify or WooCommerce for stores, and custom code for web apps. Our parent company builds platforms such as Fiap Systems, FiapPay and Mifi Core, so custom work is familiar ground.

A performance budget in writing

Before we build, we agree limits for page weight, fonts, images and third-party scripts, and we test against them on a mid-range Android phone over a throttled 4G connection. This site is our working demo, built to a first view under 100 KB with no third-party trackers.

Security hardening

Every build gets HTTPS with HSTS, security headers, a strict Content-Security-Policy, dependency audits, least-privilege admin accounts and backups you can actually restore. We remove plugins and scripts you don’t need, because each one adds attack surface.

SEO and AI readiness from day one

Pages are served as real HTML, so search engines and AI crawlers can read them without running scripts. We set up structured data, XML sitemaps, clean redirects and, for bilingual sites, reciprocal hreflang tags that follow Google’s guidance for localized pages.

Tracking that counts the right things

We install GA4 and Google Ads conversion tracking, server-side where possible, and count real actions: form submissions, WhatsApp clicks, calls and purchases.

Payments for stores

We connect Mobile Money (MTN MoMo and Orange Money) through a licensed local payment aggregator, plus card payments, with every merchant account in your business name.

Handover and support

You get training, documentation and every login. We stay on for 30 days after launch to fix anything real visitors reveal.

How do we work?

Discovery takes about a week and ends with a written scope and timeline. Design takes 1 to 2 weeks and the build 2 to 4 weeks, and you follow progress on a private preview link throughout. Nothing goes live without your sign-off, and launch day follows a checklist: redirects, Search Console, analytics, speed and security tests.

How much does website development cost?

A business website starts at 250,000 FCFA for businesses registered in the CEMAC zone, or $1,200 internationally. An online store starts at 750,000 FCFA or $2,500. The final price depends on the number of pages and languages, whether you sell online, the integrations and payment methods you need, and whether you need full copywriting.

CEMAC clients pay in FCFA by MTN MoMo, Orange Money or bank transfer; international clients pay by card or bank transfer. Hosting, domain renewals and paid apps are billed to you directly by their providers, in your name. See every price on our pricing page.

How does MyBebine compare with a DIY builder or a typical freelancer?

What to check DIY site builder Typical freelancer MyBebine
Who owns the domain and code Your domain; the code stays on the platform Varies; check whose name is on the domain You own the domain, code and accounts
Performance budget Limited by the platform Varies Written down and tested on mid-range Android
Security hardening Handled by the platform, within its limits Varies Headers, strict CSP, audits and tested backups
English and French Depends on the builder Varies Separate URLs, hreflang, human-edited French
Tracking Built-in basics Varies GA4 and Ads conversions, tested before launch
Handover Not applicable Varies Training, documentation and every login

We compare process here, not results. A good build makes success more likely; it doesn’t guarantee it.

Which website problems do we fix most often?

  • The domain is registered in a former developer’s or agency’s name.
  • Pages take several seconds to show anything on mobile data.
  • Contact forms fail silently, or WhatsApp links use the wrong number format.
  • No HTTPS redirect, mixed content warnings or missing security headers.
  • Outdated plugins, themes or libraries with known vulnerabilities.
  • No tested backup, or backups stored on the same server as the site.
  • Old URLs broken after a redesign, with no 301 redirects.
  • French pages machine-translated, or not linked to their English versions.
  • Analytics counting every page view as a conversion.
  • Checkout pages missing return, shipping or contact details, which also causes Google Merchant Center problems.

What’s different about building websites for Cameroon and Africa?

Mobile data and mid-range phones. We design for a mid-range Android phone on a patchy 4G connection: compressed images, subset fonts, and no heavy sliders or video backgrounds.

Mobile Money first. Local customers expect to pay with MTN MoMo or Orange Money, while buyers in the diaspora usually pay by card. A store for Cameroon needs both, and we test real payments end to end before launch.

Two official languages. English and French versions get separate URLs and hreflang tags, and visitors choose their language. We never redirect them automatically by location, as Google’s multilingual guidance advises.

WhatsApp is the contact form. Many customers would rather send a WhatsApp message than fill in a form, so we make it one tap, with a prefilled message that names the page and contains no personal data.

Prices in FCFA. Local clients get FCFA prices and pay the way they already pay for everything else.

What do we need from you?

  • One decision-maker who can approve the scope, the design and the launch.
  • Your texts, photos, logo and product data, or time to prepare them with us.
  • Access to your domain registrar and hosting through user invitations, or a short session to set them up in your name.
  • For stores: a merchant account with a payment aggregator in your business name, plus your shipping and return rules.
  • Feedback within a few days at each review stage.

What are the honest limits?

  • No website guarantees rankings or sales. A fast, clear site makes both more likely; it can’t promise them.
  • Nothing is unhackable. We reduce risk with layered controls and tested backups, and we tell you what risk remains.
  • Third-party scripts cost speed. Chat widgets, pixels and heavy embeds added later will slow the site, and we’ll show you the cost before you add them.
  • Content drives the timeline. Late texts, photos or product data delay a launch more than anything else.
  • Platforms have limits. Shopify and WordPress cap how far speed and customization can go.

Tell us what you sell and who you sell to on WhatsApp (+237 678 858 683) or through our contact page. We reply within one business day, usually much faster on WhatsApp. Once your site is live, our SEO services can help the right people find it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build a website in Cameroon?

For businesses registered in the CEMAC zone, a business website starts at 250,000 FCFA and an online store at 750,000 FCFA. International clients start at $1,200 for a website and $2,500 for a store. The final price depends on the number of pages and languages, whether you sell online, the integrations you need and whether you need full copywriting.

How long does it take to build a website?

A business website typically takes 3 to 5 weeks and an online store 6 to 10 weeks. The biggest factor is content: projects move fastest when texts, photos and product data are ready before the build starts. We agree a written timeline during discovery.

Should I choose Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build?

Shopify suits most stores that want to launch fast and let the platform handle hosting and updates, for a monthly fee. WooCommerce runs on WordPress and gives you more control with fewer platform fees, but it needs disciplined updates and good hosting. A custom build makes sense when your workflow fits neither, for example complex pricing, bookings or local payment flows. We recommend one after discovery and explain why.

Will I own my website, domain and code?

Yes. The domain, hosting, code, content and accounts are registered in your name, and we hand everything over at launch with training. Hosting, domain renewals and paid apps are billed to you directly by their providers. Every build includes 30 days of post-launch support, and ongoing care can be agreed separately.

Can customers pay with MTN MoMo or Orange Money?

Yes. For stores in Cameroon we connect Mobile Money through a licensed local payment aggregator, alongside card payments for customers in the diaspora and abroad. The merchant account is opened in your business name, so the money goes straight to you. We test real payments end to end before launch.

What do ‘fast’ and ‘secure’ mean in practice?

Fast means a written performance budget and a target of green Core Web Vitals on a mid-range Android phone over 4G: main content visible within 2.5 seconds, interactions answered within 200 milliseconds and no jumping layouts. Secure means HTTPS with HSTS, security headers, a strict Content-Security-Policy, updated dependencies, least-privilege accounts and tested backups. These are targets and controls, not guarantees, and no website is unhackable.

Can you build a bilingual English and French website?

Yes, and we build it the way Google recommends: each language on its own URL, linked with reciprocal hreflang tags, with no automatic redirect based on where the visitor is. French pages are written or edited by a person, not machine-translated, so they read naturally to buyers in Cameroon, France or Canada.

Who writes the content for my website?

We build the copy structure for every page in English and French: what to say first, which questions to answer, and where prices, WhatsApp and forms go. You supply the facts, photos and product details. If you need full copywriting, tell us during discovery and we’ll include it in the scope.

Can you redesign my site without losing Google rankings?

Yes, if the move is planned. Before launch we crawl the old site, map every old URL to its new address with 301 redirects, keep the content that ranks, and update internal links, sitemaps and Search Console. After launch we watch for errors and fix them fast. Expect some movement while Google processes the change.
