Web design in Kent
We are a small software studio in Medway, and most of the businesses we work with are within an hour of it. We design and build the site, write the code ourselves, and hand you a fixed price before anything starts.
No day rates, no discovery-phase invoice, no quote that moves once work is underway. You get the number first.

What a website actually costs here
Most Kent studios will not publish a price. We will, because the first thing you want to know is whether this is a £500 conversation or a £5,000 one.
Simple site: £0 build fee
Roughly ten pages or fewer, no database and no logins, content basically settled. You host with us for the first year at £45 a month, and the source code becomes yours at twelve months. That is £540 across year one, and no build fee at all.
Database or custom backend: from £500
Shops, booking systems, customer portals. Anything where a visitor logs in, pays, or manages their own data is real engineering rather than a brochure site, and it is priced as such.
Hosting and upkeep: £45 a month
Infrastructure in London, HTTPS, CDN, monitoring, backups, dependency updates, security patches and bug fixes. £90 a month if the site has a database. No minimum term after year one.
Built, not assembled
We are developers rather than a template shop. Sites are built as code, which is why technical SEO, accessibility and page speed come as standard rather than as an upsell, and why the finished thing does not look like the theme it came from.
It also means you are not renting your website. The source code is yours at twelve months, and you can take it anywhere.
Where we work
We are based in Medway and cover Kent: Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Gravesend, Dartford, Sittingbourne, Canterbury, Ashford and the towns between them. We will travel across the county for a first meeting.
We do not have offices in each of those towns and will not pretend otherwise. What we have is a studio in Medway and a short drive.
Common questions
How much does web design cost in Kent?
A simple brochure site carries no build fee if you host with us for the first year at £45 a month, which is £540 across year one. Sites needing a database, logins or payments start from £500 plus hosting. Every project is a fixed quote agreed before work starts, not a day rate.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The source code becomes yours at twelve months, on every project including the £0 build fee sites. There is no minimum term after the first year and nothing stops you moving the site elsewhere.
Are you a Kent web design agency?
We are a small studio rather than an agency, which mostly shows up in the price. Agency fees fund account managers, strategy workshops and meetings. We are the people who build the site, so the money goes into the build.
How long does a website take?
A simple site is usually two to four weeks once the content is settled. Anything with a database, logins or payments depends on scope, and we will give you the timeline with the fixed quote rather than after you have committed.
