For many small businesses in Kenya, the idea of building a website still feels overwhelming. People know they need one, but the moment words like “WordPress” or “plugins” come up, they get discouraged. They expect it to be expensive, technical, and time-consuming.
This is exactly the problem Hbuild by HostAfrica was built to solve.
Why Hbuild Is Perfect for Beginners
Hbuild is an AI-powered website builder that allows someone to create, customise, and launch a professional website simply by describing their business in plain English. No coding. No design experience. No complicated setup. Just a guided, visual process that makes sense even to someone building their first website.
For affiliates, this is important. You are helping someone in Kenya take their first real step online, quickly and confidently.
How to set up
To understand how simple this really is, let’s look at what the experience actually looks like when someone starts building their website.
Step 1: Describe the business and let the AI do the work
When someone opens Hbuild, the message is very clear and very reassuring. The page says, “Your Business Deserves a Website That Works”, followed by a simple instruction: “Describe what you do, our AI will build a high-converting website in minutes.”
There is no pressure to choose templates or layouts upfront. Instead, the user sees a single text box labelled “Tell us more about your business…” and a button that says Build It.
To help users get started, Hbuild also shows example business types like Restaurant, Consulting, Design Studio, and Fitness Coach.
Step 2: Use a natural prompt
The screenshot example shows a simple prompt like: “I have a restaurant. Help me build a website for it.” This is important because it shows how Hbuild is meant to be used. There is no technical language, no instructions about layout, and no mention of features. Just a normal sentence, written the way someone would speak.
The AI then takes that information and decides what sections, content, and structure make sense for that type of business. This is ideal for Kenyan business owners who want results, not complexity.
Step 3: The Page Builder opens with a complete website already in place
After clicking Build It, the user is taken straight into the Page Builder. In the restaurant example shown in the screenshot below, the site already includes a hero section with a headline, supporting text, buttons, and imagery. Below that, there are clearly defined sections such as features, gallery, opening hours, and contact information. Nothing looks unfinished or confusing.
At the top of the editor, there are clear action buttons like Restart, Hide Editor, and Deploy. This gives the user confidence that they are in control and can either start over or move forward when ready.
Step 4: Add new sections on the AI Assistant panel
On the right hand side, you can add features such as:
- An email contact form so customers can contact you via email
- A whatsapp button to allow instant contact from your customers
- A whatsapp shop allowing you to sell items over whatsapp with a product carousel and checkout
- Social links to your social profile
This means that even if the AI didn’t include a specific section at the start, the user is never stuck. They can add new content blocks at any time without breaking the design or layout.
Step 5: Ask the AI to make changes using plain language
With the provided text box, users can ask the AI to make changes for them using simple instructions. For example:
- “Make the headline more professional”
- “Add a stronger call to action”
- “Rewrite this to sound more friendly”
The AI attempts to apply these changes automatically, saving time and effort. This feature is especially helpful for first-time website owners who struggle with wording, confidence, or marketing language.
Step 8: Deploy the website in a few clicks
When the website is ready, the user clicks Deploy, which opens a clear deployment popup. There are two deployment options.
The first option is to use a free Hbuild subdomain, which is perfect for quick launches and testing. This allows someone to go live immediately.
The second option is to deploy the website on their own domain, which is the natural next step for businesses that want a professional online presence in Kenya.
For affiliates, this is where .ke domain sales and long-term value come into play.
Share feedback directly from the builder
The final screenshot shows a Send Feedback form built directly into Hbuild. Users can submit comments, suggestions, or issues without leaving the platform. This shows that Hbuild is actively improving and that user input matters, which builds trust in the product.
