@Kebaya, you should look around more keenly, lest stereotype n generalize that sentiment. I have an inspiring story, that gives me a challenge too, using ua skills to make a living. Have a look at www.84inspired.com, a truly Kenyan design Mark you this is a friend who graduated with fine-art, yet he beats most IT graduates in web UI and design....

It's true we have exceptional Kenyan designers. http://jomoro.carbonmade.com/ <http://jomoro.carbonmade.com/>(that's my portfolio by the way). We just need professionalism and maybe Kenyans should stop trying to do everything. If we specialize and get well paid, only then can we move into the right direction.

I gather from the chat that a nice site can't be done on Joomla. Isn't it about execution? Does this - www.hajar.co.ke - break the Joomla perception? 2011/3/1 Kebaya Mwamba <humphreykebaya@gmail.com>
@Jomoro - Awesome work..you guy...keep it up!!
