Looking for the Malda app? Get it here →ABAY Labs is a small team of developers and designers. We build websites, custom software, mobile apps, and AI tools for growing businesses. We also run our own app, Malda, so we know what it takes to keep software working long after launch.
Most clients start with one and add the rest as they grow. It's the same team either way, so nothing gets lost between agencies.
AI that answers customers and takes busywork off your plate.
A good fit if you or your staff answer the same questions every day.

01 — Our own product · 2026
A calling and airtime app for people abroad who want to stay close to family in East Africa. We built and run all of it: the iPhone and Android apps, the calling backend, payments, and an assistant that speaks English, Amharic, and Tigrinya.
02 — Client website · 2026
A new website for a Dallas–Fort Worth general contractor, built to turn local searches into booked estimates. Our favourite part is the before/after slider that lets you drag across a finished room.
03 — Blueprint · 2026
A ready-to-launch design for a commercial cleaning company, aimed at office and facility managers: a walkthrough-report hero, credentials up front, industry pages, and a free-quote request that's never more than a click away.

we're collecting kind words right now
our own productWe built Malda so people abroad can call family in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, and Nigeria and send them airtime. We run every part of it ourselves: the iPhone and Android apps, the calling backend, payments, and support.
Looking after a real product every day teaches us things no tutorial does, and all of it goes into the work we do for clients.
This is a typical website timeline. Apps and AI projects vary, and we'll give you a realistic plan on our first call.
Week 1
A call to understand your business and what you need. You get a clear plan and a quote before anything starts.
Weeks 2–3
You see real designs of your pages and click through them. We adjust until it feels right to you.
Weeks 3–6
We write the code and share a preview link, so you can watch it come together and tell us what you think.
the fun partAfter launch
We put it live, make sure Google can find it, and keep improving it with you.
We got into software because we like building things, and we still do. Every project gets our full attention, whether it's a five-page website or a full app.
No account managers in the middle. The people designing and coding your project are the ones on your calls.
Your code, domain, and accounts are in your name from day one. If you ever leave, it all goes with you.
We explain what we're doing and why, without the jargon. Ask us anything, as often as you like.
Tell us a little about it. We'll come back with honest thoughts on how we'd approach it, roughly what it would cost, and how long it would take. No pressure, no sales script.
