Custom websites, web applications, and software built by the person who actually writes the code. Based in Angeles City, working across Pampanga in person and the rest of the Philippines over video.
Everything included
One price, the whole thing handled properly. Here's what you get.
Most businesses in Pampanga looking for a website end up choosing between three bad options: an agency in Manila that assigns you an account manager and a junior, a freelancer who disappears halfway through, or a template builder that looks fine until you need it to do something specific.
Kleio is the fourth option. One developer, based in Angeles City, who does the design, writes the code, deploys it, and is still reachable afterwards. You talk to the person building the thing, which removes an entire layer of translation where requirements normally go missing.
The honest part first: not every business needs a custom site. If what you actually need is a page with your hours, your menu, and a map, you will be told that, and pointed at the cheapest way to get it. Custom work earns its cost when your business does something a template does not anticipate.
You talk to the developer
No account manager, no handoff to a junior, no game of telephone between what you asked for and what gets built.
Fast by construction
Sites are built to load quickly on a mid-range phone over mobile data, which is the actual condition most of your visitors are in.
You own everything
Your domain, your hosting, your code. No proprietary builder you cannot leave and no monthly fee to keep your own site online.
Fixed price in pesos
A fixed-price proposal in PHP after a free call, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
What a web developer actually builds
Website is a broad word covering very different amounts of work. These are the shapes real projects take, and a short call usually narrows it to one.
A business website
The site that establishes you exist, explains what you sell, and gets people to contact you. Usually five to ten pages, built around the questions your customers actually ask before they buy.
A booking or inquiry flow
Where the site does not just inform but captures something: appointments, class schedules, quote requests, reservations. This is the difference between a brochure and a site that earns its keep.
An online store
Product listings, cart, and checkout wired to Philippine payment and delivery options. Scoped honestly, because ecommerce carries ongoing operational work that a brochure site does not.
A portfolio site
For architects, photographers, designers and studios whose work is the pitch. The design job here is getting out of the way of the images.
A web application
Software that runs in a browser and does a job: an internal tool, a dashboard, a booking system, a calculator, a client portal. This is where custom development stops competing with templates entirely.
A rebuild of something that already exists
Often the most valuable engagement. An existing site that loads slowly, does not work on phones, or nobody can edit is usually cheaper to rebuild properly than to keep patching.
What it costs to hire a web developer here
Website pricing in the Philippines ranges from a few thousand pesos to several hundred thousand, and the spread is real rather than a matter of who is overcharging. The variables are how many pages there are, how much of the content already exists, whether anything needs to be captured or processed rather than just displayed, and whether it connects to anything else.
The single largest hidden cost is content. A site cannot be finished without copy, photographs and product details, and projects stall on that far more often than on the code. Scoping accounts for it explicitly rather than pretending it will appear.
Every project is quoted at a fixed price in pesos after a free discovery call. Fixed price rather than hourly, because you should be able to plan around the number, and because the risk of an estimate being wrong belongs with the person who made the estimate.
How a project actually runs
Small enough to describe honestly in four steps, because there is one person doing all of them.
A free discovery call establishes what you are trying to achieve and whether custom work is warranted. A fixed-price proposal follows, listing what is included and what is not. The build then runs with something visible to look at early rather than a long silence followed by a reveal, so course corrections cost hours rather than weeks. Finally the site goes live on hosting you own, with a walkthrough of how to update it.
Timelines depend mostly on content. A straightforward business site typically runs two to four weeks from a proper start; a web application runs longer. The most common cause of delay by a wide margin is waiting on copy and photographs.
Where being local helps, and where it does not
Worth being straight about this, because plenty of agencies oversell proximity. Most web development is remote work by nature, and a competent developer three timezones away can build you an excellent site.
Where local genuinely helps is the start and the finish. Understanding a Pampanga business is faster when you can visit it, see how customers actually arrive and what staff actually get asked. Photography is easier to organize. And the handover is better in the room, particularly when the person who will maintain the site is not technical.
If you are outside Pampanga, none of this is a barrier. Clients across Central Luzon, Metro Manila, the wider Philippines and abroad work over video without issue.
Proof rather than promises
There is a live client site for a barre studio in Angeles City, and a set of working demos you can click through right now covering booking flows, portfolio layouts, and multi-branch scheduling. None of them require a sign-up to look at.
The demos exist for a specific reason: describing a website in a proposal is close to useless. Clicking through one that works tells you in thirty seconds what a page of description cannot.

Questions people actually ask
Should I use WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or a custom build?
For a simple brochure site or a standard online store, those platforms are often the right call and we'll say so rather than sell you something bigger. They stop being right when you're fighting the platform: paying for plugins to approximate something your business needs, watching page speed degrade, or hitting a wall the theme won't let you past. That's when a custom build becomes both faster and cheaper over the life of the site.
Can you build a web application, not just a website?
Yes. Booking systems, client portals, internal dashboards, inventory tools, calculators, and admin interfaces are all regular work. If it runs in a browser and has to match how your team actually operates, it's in scope. This is usually where custom web development earns its cost, because no template exists for the specific thing your business does.
Do you build ecommerce websites and online stores?
Yes: product catalogs, carts, checkout, and payment gateway integration for Philippine and international processors. Worth being straight with you, though. If you need a standard online store with no unusual requirements, a hosted platform is often the more sensible starting point and we'll tell you that. Custom ecommerce makes sense when your pricing rules, inventory logic, or fulfillment process don't fit what those platforms allow.
Can you build a single landing page rather than a full site?
Yes. A focused landing page for a campaign, product launch, or ad traffic is a small, fast project and often the right first step. It's also a good way to work together once before committing to a larger build.
How much does a website cost in Pampanga?
It depends on how many pages there are, whether the site needs to capture anything such as bookings or orders, and how much of your content already exists. A straightforward business site is a very different job from an online store or a web application. Every project is quoted at a fixed price in pesos after a free discovery call, so you know the number before anything starts.
How long does it take to build a website?
A straightforward business site typically takes two to four weeks from a proper start. Online stores and web applications take longer. The most common cause of delay is not the code but the content: projects wait on copy and photographs far more often than on development.
Is a web developer different from a web designer or a web programmer?
In practice the terms overlap and which one gets used is mostly habit. Design is how it looks and how it is structured; development is making it work. Here one person does both, so nothing is lost handing a design to someone else to build.
Do I need a custom website, or is a template enough?
If you need a page with your hours, your location and a way to contact you, a template is genuinely fine and you will be told so. Custom work earns its cost when your business does something a template does not anticipate, when you need it to connect to something else, or when the site itself is doing real work like taking bookings.
Will I own my website?
Yes. Your domain, your hosting account, your code. Nothing is locked to a proprietary builder you cannot leave, and there is no monthly fee required simply to keep your own site online. Hosting costs are paid to the host, not to us.
Can you fix or rebuild my existing website?
Often, and it is a common request. A site that loads slowly, does not work properly on phones, or that nobody can edit any more is usually cheaper to rebuild than to keep patching. The discovery call covers which of the two your situation actually is.
Do you work with businesses outside Pampanga?
Yes. Being in Angeles City means in-person scoping and handover are possible around Pampanga, which helps. Everywhere else works over video, and clients across Central Luzon, Metro Manila and the wider Philippines are handled that way routinely.
A free call with the developer who would build it. Bring the problem, not a spec, and you will get a straight answer on what it takes and whether custom work is even warranted.
