Services

Through Pencil Case Studios there are a lot of ways I can serve you. To start the conversation, I like to ask the question, “How can I help?”…

Website and Application Design and Development

ZMW495.00/hour

First things first … Pencil Case Studios started out as a website design and development studio. If it is not blatantly obvious, I the web!

The web has evolved so much since I started working on it. I have had to evolve with it as well. I am now able to build websites, web applications and mobile applications using similar technologies. I am not (yet) a native mobile application developer. If you need that level of sophisication, I am probably not your guy. My area of expertise is with user-friendly portfilio sites, interactive web applications and medium complexity mobile applications.

In no particular order, here are some of the technologies and services that Pencil Case Studios uses. You will notice the heavy leaning toward Open Source software:

Domain Name Management

ZMW495.00/hour

To help you build your identity online, Pencil Case Studios can help you buy and set up a domain name. The domain name you choose becomes your own slice of the Internet. Examples you know and love are names like google.co.zm and pencilcasestudios.com. If you are in Zambia, I recommend that you use a .co.zm or a .org.zm. Local domains have had a reputation for being unreliable but this is a myth and actually works in your favour as popular names are still available (sssh, don't tell anybody!).

Once you have a domain name registered and setup, you will probably want to set up email and other services for your domain. This might include tools for team collaboration and communicating with your clients, setting up an email newsletter, shared calendars, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, video-conferencing, instant messaging, file-sharing and more. I can help you with these too.

Live-Updates

ZMW495.00/hour

Social media can be great way to check-in on moments and what is happening at a given moment. At present, it is difficult to get that kind of information in Zambia. With Pencil Case Studios, I would like to change that. If you have an event that could use engagement with Zambians out of town or in the diaspora, live-updates could set you apart from every other event happening in Zambia right now.

Photography

ZMW495.00/hour

Photography has been a hobby of mine for many years. I had every intention of leaving it as just that until I got repeated requests from people offering to give me money to take photos for them. How could I refuse?

I have a particular style and like to be selective of the clients and subjects I photograph. Please have a look at the Pencil Case Studios photography portfolio before getting in touch. If you like what you see, we just might be a good fit.

Technology Consulting

ZM495.00/hour

Zambia is ripe for technology innovation. Since the start of Pencil Case Studios, I have had a unique perspective of our technology industry—I have worked in the industry, collaborated on technology projects, taught workshops on how to use Social Media and Open Source technology and eventually became a founder of BongoHive. I believe that Open Source offers Zambia its most powerful platform for innovation.

I’d be honoured to share my perspective and offer insight on information and technology communication in Zambia.
