About us
Where good code meets real business
CodeNova is a Nairobi software studio. We build the websites, online stores, custom software and payment systems businesses in Kenya and abroad run on, and we look after them once they're live.
Our story
Software that fits how business really works
CodeNova started in Nairobi, building for businesses that had outgrown WhatsApp orders, paper forms and spreadsheets. Today we work with retailers, schools, property firms, design studios, non-profits and growing companies in Kenya and abroad, on custom builds and on ready-made sites they can launch at a fixed price.
