Recommendation (practical next steps)

• Write a short brief (pages, e‑commerce? payments? login or forms? SEO? content writing) and request 3 quotes (one freelancer, one small studio, one established agency). Compare scope and deliverables, not just price. (astralpromotion.com)

If you want, I can:

• Draft a 1‑page brief you can send to designers, or
• Find 3 Lusaka designers/agencies and list contact pages/pricing pages (I’ll pull current links).
