No Hidden Catches: Your Guide to Mukwood’s 3-Month Trial and Local Payments
Introduction: Growing Your Business without the Stress
By February 2026, the digital economy in Zambia has reached a tipping point. According to the ZICTA 2025 National ICT Report, over 85% of Zambian SMEs now identify “cost of entry” as the biggest barrier to getting online.
At Mukwood Digital, we believe your budget shouldn’t limit your ambition. We are the only agency bridging the gap between global technology and local reality. Whether you are paying via MTN Mobile Money or starting with our 3-month free trial, we make it simple, transparent, and built for Zambia.
Flexible Payments: Built for the Zambian Market
In the UK or USA, agencies often require high-limit credit cards or complex wire transfers. We know that in Zambia, cash flow is king and convenience is mobile.
According to Statista 2025, mobile money transactions in Sub-Saharan Africa have grown by 21% annually. To support our local partners, we accept the following payment methods:
Accepted Payment Methods
| Method | Speed | Best For… |
| MTN Mobile Money | Instant | Quick deposits and monthly maintenance. |
| Airtel Money | Instant | Small business owners and startups. |
| ZAMPay | Instant | Tech-forward entrepreneurs and retail clients. |
| Direct Bank Transfer | 1–2 Days | Corporate clients and NGO annual payments. |
| Online Card Payment | Instant | International partners or credit card users. |
Pro Tip: We provide automated digital receipts for every transaction, making your ZRA tax returns much easier to manage at the end of the year!
The Mukwood “Test Drive”: 3-Month Free Trial Explained
We often get asked: “What’s the catch?” There isn’t one. Our 3-month trial is designed to prove our value. We build you a high-performing landing page, and you see the results before you spend a ngwee on the full package.
What is Included?
- Professional Landing Page: A mobile-first, one-page website.
- Basic SEO Setup: Ensuring you appear on Google for your business name.
- 3 Months of Premium Hosting: Fast, secure, and reliable.
- WhatsApp Integration: A direct button for customers to chat with you.
- AI Chatbot Lite: A simple automated greeting to capture leads 24/7.
The “Fine Print”: Terms & Conditions (T&Cs)
We keep our terms in plain English. Here is the framework for our 3-month trial as of February 2026:
- Eligibility: The trial is available to registered Zambian SMEs, startups, and NGOs. (A valid PACRA certificate or proof of operation may be requested).
- Duration: The “Free Period” lasts exactly 90 days from the day your site goes live.
- Ownership: You own your content and logo. Mukwood Digital retains ownership of the specific website code and hosting environment during the trial period.
- Transition: On day 91, you can choose to upgrade to a full “Starter,” “Pro,” or “Premium” package.
- Hosting Fees: If you choose not to upgrade but want to keep the landing page, a standard monthly hosting fee (approx. K150) will apply after the third month.
- No Obligation: You can cancel at any time during the three months with zero penalty.
Mukwood vs. Global “Free” Models
Many UK or US platforms (like Wix or Squarespace) offer “free” versions, but they often come with high friction for Zambians.
| Feature | Mukwood Free Trial | Global “Free” Tiers |
| Domain Name | Custom-ready | “https://www.google.com/search?q=yourname.wixsite.com” (Unprofessional) |
| Support | Local WhatsApp Support | Automated Bot/Email only |
| Ads | No Ads | Heavy platform branding/ads |
| Local Payments | Built-in | Usually blocked on free tiers |
FAQs: Payment & Trial Edition
Q1: Can I pay my monthly maintenance via Airtel Money?
Yes! Most of our clients prefer using Mobile Money for their K1,000/month basic maintenance packages.
Q2: What happens if I don’t want to continue after the 3 months?
No hard feelings! We will take the site offline, and you won’t owe us anything. You are free to take your brand assets and move elsewhere.
Q3: Is the domain name free during the trial?
We provide a temporary subdomain for the trial. If you want a custom .co.zm or .com immediately, there is a small one-time registration fee (approx. K250-K500 depending on the extension).
Conclusion: Start Your Journey Today
The best way to see how a website can grow your business is to try one. With our Mobile Money convenience and our Risk-Free Trial, there has never been a better time to digitize your Zambian business.
