A Canterbury website often has two jobs at once. It has to persuade someone planning a day trip from London, who arrived on the high-speed train into Canterbury West and is checking opening times on their phone, and it has to reassure a local customer in Sturry or Bridge who is comparing three businesses before picking up the phone. Get either of those wrong and the enquiry goes to someone else.
We design and build sites that handle both, with clear structure, quick load times and content written for the people who actually use them. Everything below is available on its own or as part of a bigger project:
Web Design
Layouts planned around what your Canterbury customers need first, whether that’s a booking button, a menu or proof that you’ve done the job before.
Web Development
Clean, maintainable code that keeps pages fast for visitors on patchy mobile signal in the narrow streets of the old city.
Mobile App Development
When a website isn’t enough, we can build a companion app for your Canterbury business that shares the same content and branding.
Website Maintenance
Updates, backups, security patches and small content changes, so your site keeps working through the busy summer and the start of each academic year.
Ecommerce Websites
Online shops for Canterbury retailers who want to keep selling to visitors long after they’ve gone home.
Shopify Websites
Shopify builds for product-led businesses that want a straightforward admin and reliable checkout.
WordPress Websites
Flexible WordPress sites for firms that publish regularly, such as practices, venues and membership organisations.
Wix Websites
Tidy Wix sites for smaller businesses that want to make their own edits without calling a developer.
Custom Built Websites & Platforms
Bespoke booking systems, portals and dashboards when an off-the-shelf platform can’t do what your business needs.
PPC, SEO & GEO
Sites built with search in mind from day one, and ongoing search marketing for Canterbury if you want help bringing people to them.
We like to start every Canterbury website with a proper conversation, so we’ll come to your premises in the city or you’re welcome at our Maidstone office. A video call works too if that’s easier. Designs are presented and talked through together, and you’ll get a working test version of the site to try before anything goes live, with feedback gathered in one place so nothing gets lost in email chains. Canterbury businesses tend to have sharp peaks, with summer visitors, graduation weeks and the run-up to Christmas, so we schedule launches to avoid your busiest weeks.
1. Discovery call
A first meeting, in Canterbury or at our Maidstone office, to understand your business, your customers and what the current site is or isn’t doing.
2. Structure and content plan
We map out pages and messages for each audience, from first-time visitors to returning locals.
3. Design
We present page designs, walk you through them and refine them until they feel right.
4. Build and test
We develop the site on a private staging link and test it on phones, tablets and desktops.
5. Launch and support
We go live at a quiet moment for your trade, then stay on hand for updates and fixes.
We build websites for businesses in Canterbury, across East Kent and further afield in the UK, all from our Maidstone studio. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
Web design in Canterbury: frequently asked questions
Can we meet in person during the project?
Yes, and we'd encourage it. We're happy to come to you in Canterbury or welcome you at our Maidstone office, and a video call is always an option if that's easier for your team.
Can our site handle both visitors and local customers?
Yes. We plan navigation and content so each audience finds its route quickly, for example separate paths for day visitors and for people booking a regular service.
Can you rebuild our existing site without losing our Google rankings?
We map your current pages to the new ones and set up redirects, which protects the visibility you've already earned. We'll also flag any pages worth keeping exactly as they are.
How long does a typical build take?
It depends on size and how quickly content comes together. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the discovery call, and we'll plan around your busy seasons.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. We offer maintenance covering updates, backups and small changes, so you aren't left on your own once the site is live.
