Web Design in Herne Bay
Website design that works as hard as you do
From independent shops on the High Street to service businesses operating across East Kent, we’ve helped all kinds of local companies get online properly. Here’s what that typically looks like:
Bespoke website design
Built from scratch to match your brand — not a theme your competitors are also using. Clean, fast, and designed with your customers in mind from the first pixel.
WordPress development
We build on WordPress when it makes sense — giving you a site you can actually manage yourself, without needing us every time something changes.
WooCommerce & ecommerce
Selling products or services online? We build WooCommerce stores that are easy to run, secure, and designed to convert browsers into buyers.
Website redesigns
If your current site is embarrassing, slow, or just not working — we’ll rebuild it properly. We’ll tell you honestly what’s worth keeping and what needs to go.
Ongoing support & maintenance
We offer maintenance packages for businesses that want their site kept fast, secure, and up to date without having to think about it.
A Kent studio. A proper approach.
We’re not a national agency farming work out to juniors, and we’re not a one-man band working from a template library. We’re a small, specialist studio with over 20 years of experience — the kind that comes from working with everyone from Fujitsu to local Herne Bay sole traders.
What that means for you:
- You talk directly to the designer doing the work — no account managers in the middle
- You get a site built properly from the ground up, not bolted together from off-the-shelf parts
- We know the East Kent market — what local customers expect, what your competitors are doing, and where the gaps are
- We care about the work. Not just the invoice.
Herne Bay has a genuine mix of businesses — hospitality, retail, trades, health and wellness, professionals. We’ve worked across most of these sectors and understand the difference between building a site for a seafront holiday let and one for a local accountancy firm.
Simple process. No surprises.
1. Discovery call
We start with a conversation — free, no obligation. We want to understand your business, your customers, and what success looks like for you online.
2. Proposal & quote
You get a clear, fixed-price proposal. No hidden costs, no vague estimates.
3. Design & build
We design in Figma so you can see exactly what you’re getting before a line of code is written. Then we build it.
4. Review & launch
You get a proper review period. We make revisions until it’s right. Then we launch.
5. Handover & support
We hand over a site you understand how to use — with training if you need it. Ongoing support available.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How much does a website cost for a Herne Bay business?
A: It depends on scope, but most of our projects for small to medium-sized businesses fall in the £1,500–£6,000 range. We provide a fixed-price quote after an initial conversation — no surprises, no scope creep. Get in touch and we’ll give you a realistic figure for what you need. Read our full website cost guide for a detailed breakdown.
Q: How long does a website take to build?
A: A typical brochure website takes 4–6 weeks from approved proposal to launch. More complex builds — ecommerce, custom functionality — usually run 8–12 weeks. We’ll give you a timeline in your proposal and keep to it.
Q: Do I need to be in Herne Bay for us to work together?
A: Not at all. We work with clients across Kent and the UK remotely. That said, if you prefer a face-to-face meeting, we’re happy to arrange that too.
Q: Will I be able to update my website myself?
A: Yes. If you want that control, we build on WordPress and train you to manage it. Most clients are comfortable updating pages and adding content after a short walkthrough.
Q: Do you offer SEO with the website build?
A: Every site we build is SEO-ready — clean code, proper structure, optimised metadata, fast load times. We also offer ongoing SEO as a separate service if you want to build on that foundation.
