Web Design Agency in Kent
We’re a small, specialist web design studio based in Herne Bay, Kent — and we’ve been building websites properly for over 20 years. Not with drag-and-drop builders. Not with recycled themes.
Every website we design and build is hand-crafted to fit your business, your customers, and what you’re actually trying to achieve online. If you’re a Kent business looking for a website that works as hard as you do, you’re in the right place.
Websites built for Kent businesses
Kent is a big county with a wide range of businesses — from independent retailers in Canterbury and Maidstone, to manufacturers in Medway, hospitality businesses on the coast, and professional services firms across Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, and Ashford. We’ve worked with all of them.
What we build is always specific to the business. The brief, the audience, the goals — they all shape the design. We don’t have a house style we apply to every project. We have a process that produces something genuinely suited to each client.
That process starts with understanding what success looks like for you — whether that’s more enquiries, more product sales, better user retention, or just a site that stops embarrassing you when you hand out your business card. From there, we design in Figma/Photoshop so you can see exactly what you’re getting before anything is built. Then we build it cleanly, test it properly, and hand it over with training so you can manage it yourself.
Want to know what a project is likely to cost? Here’s our honest guide to website pricing in the UK.
Our studio works with clients across the county — including Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable, Faversham, and the wider East Kent area.
Our web design services in Kent We cover the full range of what most Kent businesses need from a web design studio.
Bespoke website design
Every site we build is designed from scratch — no purchased themes, no
templates shared across multiple clients. The layout, typography, colour
palette, and component design are all created specifically for your brand. The
result is a website that looks like you, not like a slightly modified version
of someone else.
WooCommerce & ecommerce
Selling online requires more than a shopping cart bolted onto a website. We
build WooCommerce stores that are properly thought through — product pages
designed to convert, checkout flows that don't lose customers halfway through,
and a back-end you can actually manage yourself. Whether you have 10 products
or 10,000, we'll build a store that does the job.
Website redesigns
If your current website is slow, outdated, or just not performing — we'll
rebuild it properly. We'll be honest with you about what's worth keeping and
what needs to go, and we'll make sure the new site is faster, better structured,
and set up correctly for search engines from the ground up.
WordPress development
We build on WordPress when it's the right tool for the project — which it
usually is for business websites that need to be manageable without technical
knowledge. Our WordPress builds are hand-coded, not assembled from plugin
stacks, which means they're faster, more secure, and easier to maintain. You'll
be able to update pages, publish blog posts, and add content without needing
to call us every time something changes.
UI/UX design
Good design isn't decoration — it's function. We approach every project with
the user experience at the centre, designing interfaces that make it easy for
your visitors to do what you need them to do. This is particularly important
for web apps, member portals, complex tools, and any site where the journey
matters as much as the destination.

There are a lot of web design agencies in Kent. Some are large studios with account managers and process decks. Some are one-person operations working from a template library. We’re neither.
We’re a small specialist studio — which means when you work with us, you deal directly with the designer and developer doing the work. No handoffs, no briefing through intermediaries, no work being sent offshore. Just a direct
conversation with someone who has been building websites since before most of today’s website builders existed.
We’re also genuinely opinionated about craft. We care about clean code, proper semantic structure, performance, and the kind of attention to detail that makes a website feel considered rather than assembled. We’ve built sites for global
companies including Fujitsu, GlobeRanger, and RAF 100 — and for local Kent businesses ranging from marquee hire companies to healthcare organisations. The process is the same regardless of scale.

Based in Herne Bay — working across Kent
Our studio is based in Herne Bay, Kent CT6 — right on the East Kent coast. We work with businesses across the whole county: Canterbury, Maidstone, Medway, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Thanet, Whitstable, Faversham, Folkestone, Dover, and beyond. Most of our work is done remotely, so location is rarely a constraint — but if you want a face-to-face meeting, we’re easy to reach from most of Kent.
We also work with businesses across the wider UK, and have done since the studio was founded. Kent is home. The work goes wherever it needs to.

Not sure what your project should cost?
One of the most common questions we get from Kent businesses is what a website should realistically cost. We’ve written a plain-English guide that covers price ranges by project type, what drives cost up or down, and the hidden expenses most agencies don’t mention.
