Your local web designer in Kent

I'm Lee, a web designer based near Detling Hill, just outside Maidstone. I work with businesses across the whole county — from Dartford to Dover, and the villages in between.

When you work with me, you get a local designer — not an agency reseller, not an offshore team, and not a chatbot pretending to be a project manager. Just me, building you a website that does its job.

Real Kent result

From invisible on Google to ranked #1

Sterling Projects, a Kent driveway and building company, had no website at all — just a Facebook page. Their new site now ranks #1 for driveway searches in their area, and Google sends them work every week.

Why a Kent web designer over a London agency

London agencies charge London prices for a reason — they have London overheads. If you're a small or medium-sized business in Kent, you don't need to fund their office in Shoreditch. You need a website that brings in enquiries.

Working with a Kent-based web designer means lower prices, faster decisions, and same-day replies from someone just up the road. It also means your website talks about Kent the way locals do — which matters more than people think for local search.

Questions about web design in Kent

Where in Kent do you cover?

I'm based near Detling Hill, just outside Maidstone, and work with businesses across the whole county — Maidstone, Medway, Canterbury, Thanet, Swale, Gravesham, and the towns and villages in between. If you're in Kent, I can help.

How much does a website cost?

From £250 for a single page and from £800 for a multi-page site. You get one fixed price agreed before we start — the number quoted is the number you pay.

Is the homepage preview really free?

Yes. I design your homepage and send a private link within 3 working days — no card details, no deposit, no obligation. If you love it, I build the rest. If not, you walk away owing nothing.

How long does it take to build a website?

The free preview lands within 3 working days. After the go-ahead, most sites are live within 2–3 weeks — the main variable is how quickly photos and approvals come back.

Do I own the website?

Completely. The site, the domain, the design and every word on it are yours outright once paid for. No rental schemes, no contracts, and you can take it elsewhere whenever you like.

Do we need to meet in person?

No — everything runs smoothly by message and email, with same-day replies. You make progress without carving out meeting time, and you always have what we agreed in writing.

Do you offer SEO as well as web design?

Yes. Every site is built with local SEO in mind — title tags, structured data, page speed, and Google Business Profile guidance. It’s how Sterling Projects reached #1 for driveway searches and Strive PE & Sport reached #1 for activity camps in Medway.

Do you only work with Kent businesses?

Kent is my home patch and most of my clients are here, but I work with businesses elsewhere too. Being local matters most when you want a designer who understands your area and answers the same day.

I’m not techy. Is that a problem?

Not even slightly. You tell me about your business and send photos — I handle everything else, in plain English. When you need something changed, send a message and it gets sorted.

Ready to get your Kent business online?

Free homepage preview in 3 working days — love it, or walk away. Tell me a little about your business and I'll reply the same working day.
