Astana Landscape
Kazakhstan's national digital public services are centred on egov.kz, the national e-government portal mandated to host 800+ government services. All government digital projects above KZT 4M require competitive tender via goszakup.gov.kz. Astana Hub-registered agencies receive procurement preferences in government digital tenders, making Hub membership practically mandatory for agencies pursuing public sector Kazakhstan contracts.
Before you commit to any Astana agency, ask for PageSpeed Insights results pulled from the actual live site, not a local dev build. Confirm cookie consent and privacy handling are built into the code itself rather than layered on with an outside plugin. And get clarity, before work starts, on who keeps the domain login and code repository once the contract ends.
Tkist Digital has delivered websites for Astana clients across finance, professional services, medical, and retail sectors. Every build launches with a verified 95+ PageSpeed score on mobile and desktop, markup that meets WCAG standards, and full handover of every asset the moment the site goes live.

The questions we hear most often from Astana businesses before they commit to a project.
Astana Hub is Kazakhstan's government-backed technology incubator operated under the Ministry of Digital Development. Benefits: 0% corporate income tax for 10 years, permit-free recruitment of foreign IT workers (no separate work permit required), simplified IP registration, and government procurement preferences in digital tender evaluations. 1,900+ companies are registered. For agencies, Hub membership is effectively mandatory to compete for Kazakhstan government digital contracts.
All government digital projects above KZT 4M (approx USD 8,000) require competitive tender via goszakup.gov.kz (national e-procurement portal). Astana Hub-registered companies receive procurement price preferences during evaluation. Government procurement cycles run primarily Q1 and Q3 aligned with national budget allocation. International agencies require a local Astana Hub-registered partner to submit tenders for Kazakhstan government contracts.
AIFC (Astana International Financial Centre) operates under English common law in a jurisdiction separate from standard Kazakhstan civil law. AIFC-registered entities use English-language contracts, resolve disputes via LCIA arbitration (London rules), and operate under GDPR-modelled data protection regulations. For European companies, this eliminates Kazakhstan civil law unfamiliarity and removes the need for complex cross-border legal structuring. AIFC contracts behave like London commercial contracts - familiar and enforceable under international standards.
Our methodology
Tkist Digital publishes and refreshes this ranking every month. Yes, we place ourselves first — but only because the same six-point criteria we apply to every other agency on this page put us there too. Here's what we measured:
Quality of live work
Real project URLs run through PageSpeed Insights on both mobile and desktop. Static screenshots don't count.
Genuine client feedback
Reviews checked across Google, Clutch, and Trustpilot. Testimonials published only on an agency's own site are ignored.
Core Web Vitals performance
LCP, CLS, and INP figures sourced from the Chrome User Experience Report on actual client sites.
Team size and capacity
LinkedIn team counts, Glassdoor insights, and reported turnaround times used to gauge delivery capability.
Pricing transparency
Agencies that publish rates upfront or quote without requiring a sales call score higher here.
Fit for Astana-based projects
How relevant the agency is to companies based in Astana - covering local familiarity, data-law compliance, and timezone alignment.
Last updated: August 2026. Every listed agency gets re-checked monthly, and any company that closes down, pivots away from its core service, or picks up a pattern of credible complaints gets dropped from the ranking.
