Why it matters

A growing city needs sites that work harder.

Colchester is Britain’s oldest recorded town and one of its newest cities, with a university, a garrison and a busy town centre. That means plenty of businesses competing for the same searches, and plenty of growing companies that have outgrown their first website.

We build fast, hand-written sites that are easy to find and easy to use on a phone. We take on the bigger jobs too: customer logins, booking systems, and integrations with the software you already use.

We’re about half an hour away in Ipswich, so we can meet in Colchester by arrangement, or run the whole project through calls and your client portal.

Questions

Web design in Colchester: common questions

You’re in Suffolk. Do you work in Colchester?

Yes. Ipswich is about 18 miles up the A12, and we work with businesses across Essex and Suffolk. We can meet in Colchester by arrangement, or talk on a call.

How much does a website cost?

Our fixed-price sites cost: starter page £197, one-page site £425, two-page site £625, three-page site £825, and basic shop £1,225 (all excluding VAT, with 50% off until Sunday 22 November). Or pay monthly from £29 a month, with hosting and updates included. Bigger projects are quoted after a short call.

Can you build a custom system rather than a website?

Yes. We’ve built a browser MMORPG, a game-server ranking site, a desktop app, and the client portal our own customers use. If your business runs on spreadsheets and email, we can usually build something simpler.

Do you work with startups?

Yes. We’ll help you work out the smallest version worth launching, so you can get it in front of customers sooner and spend less up front.

What happens after launch?

You can look after the site yourself, or choose a pay-monthly plan that includes hosting, updates, backups and small edits.

Areas we cover

Across Suffolk and Essex

We’re based in Ipswich and work with businesses across Suffolk, north Essex and the rest of the UK.
