No agencies, no middlemen, no London prices. The person who answers your message is the person who designs and builds your site — and I've already taken a Medway business to #1 on Google.

Built for how Medway actually works

Medway is home to more than a quarter of a million people — one of the biggest urban areas in the South East outside London. The Historic Dockyard draws visitors to Chatham year-round, Rochester's castle, cathedral, and independent high street pull day-trippers from across the county, and the university campus at Gillingham brings thousands of students into the towns. That's a lot of customers searching online every day.

Competing here means showing up for the searches that matter — "roofer Rainham", "barber Rochester", "takeaway Walderslade" — with a site that mentions Luton, Wigmore, and Frindsbury because it was built by someone who knows them, not a template with the town name swapped in.

Medway businesses we help

From the high street to the dockyard — websites for the businesses that make Medway tick.

  • Tradespeople (plumbers, electricians, roofers)
  • Maritime & dockyard businesses
  • Sports clubs and activity providers

  • Hair salons and barbers

Questions about web design in Medway

Do you know the Medway Towns?

Yes — I’m based near Maidstone, minutes down the A229. From Rochester High Street to Chatham Dockyard, Gillingham to the Hoo Peninsula, it’s my patch, and I’ve already helped a Medway business reach #1 on Google.

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 by message and email, with same-day replies. Your project moves forward without carving out meeting time, and you always have what we agreed in writing.

Do you work with businesses in Rainham and Hoo?

Yes. I work across all of Medway, including Rainham, Wigmore, Hempstead, and out to Hoo and the Peninsula villages.

Can you help me rank on Google in Medway?

Yes. Every site is built with local search in mind, and my Local SEO service helps you show up when people search for your services in Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, and across Medway. Strive PE & Sport now ranks #1 for "activity camps in Medway".

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.
