Important Notes
Please note that our evaluation and review is based on principles of design, not on some subjective opinions.
We also base our judgement on the standard we’ve seen out there in the world. Being an addicted collector of great website designs (see the collection here), we think we are better placed to make that judgment.
So, this is not some post written to blatantly promote our web design service, but to help people seeking web designers and agencies reach a good decision.
In addition, we want to push our fellow web designers in the industry to do more, to design better websites. We can all do better if we commit to excellence.
Top 10 (Exceptional & Recommended)
In case you find this post too long to read, this top 10 website design firms are the ones you should consider. You can leave out the rest. You won’t miss anything.
Please note that they are not necessarily arranged as #1, #2, #3 and so on – these are the ones that made the cut. You can call them The Best 10.
On a “selfish” note, we’ll like to start with ourselves – Kleva Designs – because we know ourselves better and what we can do. We’ll just lay bare the facts, then you decide.

HYFIG
Location: Maryland, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Good enough to make our top 10. They appear modern, corporate, professional, and aesthetically pleasing.
Almost everything is on point. Like the way they captured and displayed their portfolio on their home page.
What we don’t like about them? Well, they could do more with less animations.
0700 Web Design
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: 24-hour support, responsiveness, SEO, 1-year free hosting
Pricing: Not provided
Portfolio: Yes
0700 Web Design comes across as a modern website design agency. And we kind of like their name (it’s memorable and attached to a customized phone contact with the same name) – which shows that they know what they are doing.
They boast of a pretty impressive portfolio of high-profile clients. They offer 1-year free hosting, but didn’t specify the size of the hosting, which is very important.
Though there’s a lot left to be desired (like using a distracting header slideshow), they are worth checking out.
CK Digital
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as professionals, competent, robust, and forward-thinking.
What we like about them is their great team with rich and different skillsets, high-profile portfolio, trying to be more human by the way they relate with visitors on their website.
What we don’t like about them? Nothing serious, except that there are some best practices they aren’t adhering to, like using plain texts as CTA (Call to Action) in some pages.
Worth checking out? Absolutely yes.
Cedar Field Design
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Excellent design, though their text is a tad too much. They used a nice colour blend, dared to use unique nomenclatures for their menus, t-shaped, paid, SEO, content marketing – though no links to the services to explain more and see their expertise in action.
Cipher Media
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They appear professional, committed to excellence, and know their onions. Their own website speaks for itself – simple, modern, and visual oriented – not much rhetoric.
The websites listed in their design portfolio are top class – although one of the sites in their portfolio failed to open as at when we checked.
Are they worth trying? You bet!
Cittrex
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Cittrex come across as web designers who take their time to do what is right.
We always recommend T-shaped professionals because of their rich and broad skillset that will come into their play when they are doing your work, Cittrex come across as one.
But just like other web design agencies listed in this write-up, some of the websites in their portfolio are no longer online. This is bad. It should be removed.
When all is said and done though, they are very much worth hiring.
Sauce Studios
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Sauce Studios says they design beautiful websites – yes, they do. We can attest to that. Everything about their website is on point – from colour blend, to flow, to alignment, to negative space, even down to the CTA buttons.
We give thumps up and kudos to them. They have quite high profile clients to show for it.
Another great thing about them is that they do SEO, branding, and email marketing – meaning they will advise you and do better job on your site’s content, architecture, and graphics.
Web Thinkers
Location: Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They appear professional, robust, and know their onions. Their experience in the field shows and according to them, they won some award recently, which is a plus.
You’ll find that they have some high profile clients – which is a plus. But they could do with less clutter. Certainly worth considering.
19 Pixels Design
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not provided
Portfolio: None
19 Pixels Design is one of the Website design agencies in Nigeria that impresses us.
Their design is simple and straight to the point, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing.
But there are some things they can do better – like doing without “.php” in their URLs (it’s not a best practice) and poor placement of texts on an image (in their About Us page)
The Good (Manageable)
Brain Media Nigeria
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They have a decent portfolio. Their typographical arrangement could be better. Simple and near-neat. Choice of colour combination could be better.
Worth checking out? Yes.
Business On Top
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Beautiful website design – seems they are committed to doing things well.
But then we immediately notice is their poor attention to details: the text on their logo in unreadable (why not just remove it?), texts and an image is missing in one of the three testimonials (that’s just so awful), two images missing in their articles featured image (this is carelessness personified).
One other thing, we are wondering, why put “Meet the Boss Button” so prominently above the fold in the header banner?
All said, they are worth checking out. Just make sure you hold them tight to do a good job for you.
Creative Web
Location: Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.
Web Design Service Features: responsive, SEO.
Pricing: N80,000, N185,000, N187,000, N230,000
Portfolio: Yes
They appear as a me-too website design firm – nothing that clearly stands them out.
What we like about them is that they took the time to write the content of their web pages. This shows they are serious about their business.
What we don’t like about them is that the pricing is on their page is confusing; it’s listed as per month and based on time instead of value.
Not including an image in their testimonials and using an icon detracts from the website
Dotline Digital Technologies
Location: Agege, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
When the website opened, we exclaimed wow! But in a NEGATIVE sense.
The header alone was filled with far too much text, animations, and images that you won’t even know what to read first and whether it will stay long enough for you to read. A big turn off.
What we like about them is that they boast of a good website design portfolio and good choice of font.
What we don’t like about them is what we already stated: far too much text for a web design page that should be more visually represented, overcrowded pages, they seem to overdo everything making them appear amateurish.
My Diamond Design
Location: Benin, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Their website design is good which means they can do a good job on a good day.
But then the quality of their logo projects them as amateurs – which is not good.
And if you look at their website meta title, you’ll see it stuffed with too much keywords (an outdated and bad practice) that puts them at risk of being penalized by Google.
Design By Rich
Location: Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes (but not complex enough to reveal proof of skillset)
This guy is good, but needs another professional that’s good in graphics and UI to backup his work.
In other words, he can be and do better. We are saying this because he’s a freelance web developer, not a web design agency.
What we like about him is that he does simple, not too cluttered design. Loves the arrangement of the header – perfect – except for the hero shot (his picture is not so good; he’s kind of frowning).
What we don’t like about him is his portfolio. Not good enough (one-page old-school websites and mirroring of already established brands’ websites).
Kings Elite Media
Location: Egbeda, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as a jack of all trades. Wow, the many things they do.
We like the fact that they appear modern and their colour blend is good. Good choice of font, too.
But their home page is overcrowded and too heavy with text. They are certainly worth considering, though.
Caroline Wabara
Location: Not stated
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Caroline Wabara is not a web design agency per se. It’s a full service digital marketing agency. Web design is just one of the services they offer.
From the sites they design for others is, they create an impression of a firm committed to doing things right. They’ve got some pretty amazing designs done for clients.
Level Seven
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They are trendy. But could be better. They make use of parallax scrolling, but got some things wrong doing it. The text are somehow hidden when you scroll.
There is thin in content and substance. There is so much room for improvement.
Moronfola Yusuf
Location: Not stated
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Guy is a great designer, but appear more of a frontend UI and prints designer. Has some nice and beautiful looking portfolio.
He runs a graphics design school with a better looking website. Definitely worth considering.
Nairawebs
Location: Oyo, Nigeria
Web Design Features: 1 free domain name, unlimited hosting space, unlimited monthly bandwidth, unlimited customized email addresses, contact, registration & consultation forms, classic product and services banner slideshows, photo and video galleries, online community and forum integration, online real-time live chats, 1 month free maintenance support, video training on website maintenance, Facebook like box & twitter feeds integration, online shop & payment integration, 2 month free support, basic SEO.
Pricing: N50,000, N100,000, and N150,000 packages.
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as serious minded and boast of a sizeable amount of website they’ve designed.
But their site is too overcrowded. And heavy on text. And far too much animations.
They are worth considering for your website design project, though.
The Average (Consider Them Only If Want an Average Website)
AppClick Tech
Location: Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not provided
Portfolio: Yes
Their website works, which some people might say it’s all that matters.
But they come across as average. Their website is still showing copyright of 2015 (this means they are not paying attention to details which is very important in web design).
They use a distracting and bloated header slideshow and flout many SEO best practices. These days you need “t-shaped designers” who knows a little about much and much about a little.
In other words, you need a web designer who knows about SEO basics (among other important disciplines) so you won’t spend more money cleaning up their mess when you actually want to do SEO for your website.
Worth checking out? Yes.
Bhlue One
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Image gallery, flash banner, live chat, domain, 1GB hosting, email accounts, free maintenance, forms, custom design.
Pricing: Note provided
Portfolio: Yes
Their website is too ordinary. You’re judged by your looks. They offer the following services: logo design, e-commerce website development, WordPress site management.
Different font styles on different page doesn’t make them appear as if they know what they are doing. Website is scanty.
Crea8host
Location: UK but targets Nigerian market
Web Design Service Features: Mobile Responsive, blog, gallery, pictures, video.
Pricing: N35,000, N70,000, N150,000, N250,000 packages.
Portfolio: No
They are a website hosting company with web design service as a side gig. Not that they are fully into website design. They appear scanty.
What we like about them is their simplicity, nothing complicated.
What we don’t like about them is that they put a UK address and phone contact when their site is clearly focused on the Nigerian market. So they want Nigerian clients to start calling a UK line?
Also, they don’t appear modern. Too much text on pages that should be visually oriented.
Eloquent Touch Media
Location: Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Domain registration, custom emails, web banner slides, contact form, online chat, forms, images.
Pricing: N80,000, N180,000, and N250,000 packages
Portfolio: Yes
They give an impression of not being in tune with the times. Outdated design. More focused on graphics and prints. Not committed to best practices.
Their design isn’t modern. If you need graphics design, maybe you should check them out. But for web design? There are better options out there that are worth checking out.
The Poor (Hire Them at Your Own Risk!)
Mamtech
Location: Kaduna, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They are primarily not a web design firm but an IT consulting firm that offers web design as one of their services.
The content, design, and layout of their website conveys the idea that they are not forward thinking and haven’t updated their site in years.
Links to their social media pages are not functional. It’s like they set up the website and completely forgot about it.
blueGEEK
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not provided
Portfolio: Yes
They claim to offer growth-driven design, but in our experience in CRO (conversion rates optimization), they flouted many elementary conversion rules. There is even a hacked content on their blog post!
Best of Nigeria
Location: Calabar, Cross River, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Image gallery, flash banner, live chat, domain, 1GB hosting, email accounts, free maintenance, forms, custom design.
Pricing: N10,000, N20,000, N30,000, and N50,000 packages
Portfolio: Yes
We like the fact that the website is simple in design.
But when you scroll down, you see some amateurish and pedestrian design and far too much text. The homepage is everything, too busy, and confusing.
You want your website visitors to know the next step to take when they land on any page on your website, this one will confuse you.
Little things like this matter and gives a lot away about the kind of designer you are. That’s our candid assessment.
Master Web
Location: Enugu, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as a cookie-cutter website yet they claim they are the best website designer in Nigeria.
There is no consistency to their design. And putting a large “Click Here” text on their header banner is just so unprofessional. What happened to a button?
One thing they actually did that’s good that even the top website designers often forget to do is having a favicon – this is a best practice.
eWeb9ja
Location: Agege, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: N50,000, N150,000, and N650,000 packages
Portfolio: Yes
They don’t appear modern. Looks like a “me-too” web design service with bad SEO practices.
They use title font that’s difficult to read and far too much links – thereby increasing their attention ratio. And the distracting slider on the header takes much away from the site.
Finem Ventures
Location: Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They aren’t serious about what they are doing. Elements are carelessly tossed here and there. Very bad UX (user experience), the first thing we saw on the website is, “In order to view this object you need a Flash Player 9+ support!”
Heck! Who still does that?
They don’t pay attention to details otherwise they should have caught what we saw about the bad UX.
They boast of a good website design portfolio, though. And their font choice is good.
Frandimore
Location: Idimu, Lagos.
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They are not a clear-cut web design firm. It appears web development is just a side gig to them, as can be seen on their website home page.
As at the time of this writing, they state on their website that they also deal in cryptocurrency, property management, plantain business (really?), and news and entertainment.
What we like about them is that they do simple, minimalistic design, with good colour blend.
What we don’t like about them is that they appear unserious about their web development service. You don’t put such service beside plantain business on your home page! And then leave your website without any navigational menu and very thin on content, if any. That doesn’t speak well of them.
And to cap it all up, they display a scrolling text of cryptocurrency price. Wait, what’s this site about, anyway? Very confusing.
Frank Waive
Location: Warri, Delta state, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Appears very average. Some things on the page appear unprofessional and amateurish, like packing some dozen keywords or so in the website footer and the footer links appear out of alignment.
Their website is crying for a makeover.
Golden Impression
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They are almost “there.” But “almost” doesn’t kill a bird, does it? Their design leaves a lot to be desired. They can do far better.
Poor arrangement and alignment of images and text. Choking home page with portfolio shots that scream colour riot.
Then towards the end, they started advertising other services. Not cool.
What we like about them is one of the websites they designed: www.seunstics.com
Green Mouse Tech
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They tried. But still have a very long way to go.
What we like about them is taking time to create lengthy content for their website.
What we don’t like about them is that their website is too overcrowded. Mixture of font styles makes their work look unprofessional.
Heptapixels
Location: Uyo, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They appear committed to excellence.
Some of the prominent images used on their website are premium and paid for. That’s a green flag. It shows they are willing to spend to get something good out of their design – something most Nigerian website designers rarely do.
What we like about them is their nice logo icon.
But they don’t pay attention to details. The company names that came with their website theme in the testimonial section of the page wasn’t removed. That’s bad and sloppy.
Hosting Pacific
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Web Design Service Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They appear as a me-too web designer. Joomla favicon is still showing on their site – that’s sloppy and unprofessional.
They give the impression that they are primarily a web hosting company, even with their name.
Host Linker
Location: Okota, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: hosting, unlimited emails, responsive, content management, SEO, logo, free support, social integrations.
Pricing: N15,000, N30,000, N50,000, and N200,000 packages.
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as an average web design firm.
First, they don’t have a logo, yet they add logo design as part of their web design features. If what they put up there is what they call logo, then it’s very bad.
Then come the use of a white lady in their hero shot. Come on, you’re marketing to a Nigerian market. And that image in the About Us page? Looks like they used Microsoft Word to design it. Very poor.
What’s more, using the same text size for your headline, sub-headline, and paragraph scream amateur.
Beyond these, they tried, at least.
Itoro Host
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: N20,000 (promo)
Portfolio: Yes
As their name suggests, they are a hosting company that also do website design, among other online services.
Nice, beautiful header and good choice of font. Beyond that, nothing that clearly stands them out.
Kexpan
Location: Ogba, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: domain name, hosting, email accounts.
Pricing: N30,000 and N60,000 packages.
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as average. They use an outdated font. The site is sort of scattered – that doesn’t bode well.
And the biggest turn off is packing their site’s meta title with loads of keywords that’s just so awful to look at. Who still do that in this age?
This, in addition to the fact that they display third-party adverts on their website home page shows they are not professional or know what they are doing.
Kordahi Technologies
Location: Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They come across as a robust web development firm and know what they are doing. The listing of the various services they render speaks to this.
Though their general outlook puts them in the middle of the pack. That is, nothing outstanding that puts them at the forefront.
Leksmedia Concept
Location: Not stated.
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
Another me-too kind of design firm. Nothing that clearly sets them apart from the rest. Many links on their website aren’t linked to any particular page.
We like the simplicity of their design and concise communication of what they do.
They are much better than dozens of web design companies out there. And definitely worth checking out.
Lesgilles
Location: Anthony Village, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
They appear as an average website design firm. Not committed to excellence. Why? Take a look at the images on their website – some are kind of squeezed and their design is not trendy and out of tune with the times.
They boast of a large portfolio. You should check out their portfolio before considering them.
Naija Go Social
Location: Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria
Web Design Features: Not stated
Pricing: Not stated
Portfolio: Yes
As their name suggests, they are not purely into web design, they appear more focused on social media marketing.
Their website design looks good but cluttered. They have some brilliant social media ideas. They are worth considering.
