Businesses running on something we built
Our services
Everything you need, from one team.
Most companies hire six different suppliers and end up managing all of them. We do all six, so you only manage us.
01
Websites
We build fast websites that show up on Google and bring you customers. Your team can update the words and pictures without calling us.
02Apps and software
We build web and mobile apps. Logins, payments, dashboards and everything behind them. Built to grow with you.
03Design
We design screens that people understand straight away. No training needed, no confusion, no lost customers.
04Branding
We create your logo, colours and look. Then we give you the files and rules so it stays right long after we finish.
05Video
We shoot and edit your adverts and brand films with our own team. You get the full video plus short cuts for every platform.
06Marketing
We bring the right people to your business through Google, social media and email. We measure it in sales, not clicks.
Selected work
Things we built. Still running.
These are live websites, not pictures. Click any one and it opens.

How it runs
You will always know where it stands.
Agency work goes wrong in the dark. So the process is built to make the current state visible at every point, including the parts that are behind.
- 01
We talk for 45 minutes
We spend the time on your business, not on slides about us. Bring the problem you think cannot be solved. That is usually the useful part.
- 02
You get a written plan in 48 hours
What we will build, in what order, how long it takes and what it costs. The plan is yours to keep even if you hire someone else.
- 03
We plan on paper before we build
Big decisions get made while they are still cheap to change. We do not write code to answer a question a sketch can settle.
- 04
You get a link and a daily update
You can open the work in progress any time. We send one short written update every day, so you never have to ask how it is going.
- 05
You own everything at the end
The code, the accounts and the domain are in your name from day one. If you want to bring it in house later, that is fine by us.
Book the first session
No retainer to see the plan. No obligation after it.
One team, one system
Web and mobile that behave like one product.
Same design system, same engineering team, same release. Not a website from one supplier and an app from another that happen to share a logo.

Insight
What we have learned, written down.
Including the things most agencies here will not put in writing, like what the work actually costs.
Why Google Is Not Indexing Your Site, and How to Actually Fix It
Crawled, currently not indexed. Duplicate without user-selected canonical. What those Search Console messages really mean, and the fixes that move them.

What a Website Actually Costs in Nigeria in 2026
Real numbers, what drives them, and the three questions that move a quote by a factor of five. Written because almost nobody publishes this.

Who you are hiring
You will know exactly who is accountable.
BitLayerX is not a faceless agency with a stock photo of a team that does not exist. I founded it, I am in the work, and my name is on whether it goes well.
We are deliberately small. Smallness is why the person who scoped your project is the person who builds it, why decisions take hours rather than weeks, and why we can afford to tell you honestly when a piece of work is not worth doing.
If something goes wrong on your project, you will not be routed through an account manager. You will speak to me.
One email a fortnight.
What we are building, and what we learned building it. Written by the people doing the work. No campaigns, no filler, and one click to stop.
Tell us what you are building.
One session, then a written plan with scope, timeline and price within 48 hours. If we are the wrong fit, we will say so on the first call and point you at someone better.
