Based on this above, i think they hire people and continue developing their brand at every chance they have…… To mention a specific person would be a wild guess for me…..

Yes, people who ask questions like this thinks there is a specific web development company that develop and maintain Jumia and Konga. The answer is non. Every big company and businesses hire team of developers who work in house for their web and App development needs.

Works like that is a serious tasking and intensive aspect of running business you must put into consideration before trying to start.Most Nigerians have myopic approach to web development and that is why many don’t know how to get it right.

I agree so much with you. Web development is not a one man job. Its a team work. A work that needs different creative ideas from different web developers.

And its one of the most important part of an online business.

This is Good! I know I have two friends who happened to be developers at Konga. Two years ago during one of the Konga Yakata sales session, their traffic was skyrocketing that, their website went down for like 30mins. I remembered, some people mocked them, saying with over 80 Developers, they still couldn’t meet up with technological standard.

So you can see, that they have such a huge collection of developers putting things together. One man or one company can not make such thing like this work. It as to be the work of a team.

There is nothing really special about konga. Check out Jumia Nigeria
