London

Web design agency
for London businesses.

Straight answer first: we are not in Shoreditch. We are a small software and web team in northern Italy, working in English for UK clients. What follows is why that usually works in your favour, the cases where it does not, and exactly what we build.

What we build

For London, specifically

Four kinds of project cover almost everything that reaches us from the UK. The first job is usually working out which of the four you actually need — surprisingly often it is the smaller one.

01

Company website

A handful of pages done properly: who you are, what you do, who for, how to reach you. Fast, readable on a phone, and written around the words your customers actually type.

02

Online shop

Product pages, payments, shipping, order handling. Connected to your stock or accounting system where one exists, so nothing is keyed in twice.

03

Client portal

Orders, documents and case progress available to your clients or field staff. It usually saves more hours than the public website, and almost nobody asks for it first.

04

Custom business software

Stock, jobs, service reports, scheduling. Built around how you work rather than how a vendor decided everyone should work, and connected to what you already run.

05

Rebuild without losing rankings

A site rebuilt without a redirect plan loses its positions overnight. Migration gets prepared: URL inventory, redirects, and checks after go-live.

06

SEO and campaigns

A site nobody finds is decoration. Structure, content and Google Business Profile first; Google or Meta campaigns afterwards, if the numbers justify them.

The commercial reality

London agency prices
are a structure cost.

A central London agency with thirty staff pays central London rent and central London salaries. That is a legitimate cost of doing business, and it ends up in your quote. It buys you people in a room down the road, which for some projects is worth every penny and for most website projects is not.

We are a small team with low fixed costs. For the same work the quote is materially lower, and not because we cut corners on hours — there is simply less overhead to carry. You also speak to the person doing the work rather than to an account manager who relays it.

The practical side is unremarkable: we work in English, we are one hour ahead of London, and for B2B services between an EU supplier and a UK business the reverse charge applies, so no VAT appears on the invoice. Contracts are in English. Domain, hosting and source code are registered in your name from go-live.

When we are the wrong choice. If you need someone in your office two days a week, if you want a named brand on the credentials slide, or if the project needs ten people running in parallel, a London agency is the right answer and we will say so on the first call.

How we work

Fixed price,
no surprises.

  1. Free thirty-minute callWhat you sell, who to, and what the site has to do. No slide deck. Sometimes the conclusion is that you need something smaller than you came in asking for.
  2. Fixed-price quoteOne figure, covering everything needed to go live. It does not move mid-project: additions are quoted separately and only if you ask for them.
  3. Built in stagesYou see something usable early, then every week. Corrections happen during the build rather than in a review at the end.
  4. Go-live and afterLaunch, checks, and training if you need it. Maintenance optional — you are not tied to anything, and everything is in your name.

FAQ

The questions we always get.

Do you work with London companies from Italy?

Yes, in English and for several years. We are one hour ahead of London, which means a full working overlap. Video calls handle almost everything; we travel when a project genuinely warrants it.

How much does a website cost?

A website costs £/€24.80 per month including VAT with domain, hosting, maintenance and content changes included, on a 24-month minimum term; or €350 as a one-off if you would rather own it outright, plus €150 for initial search optimisation on Google and Bing. Custom business software starts at €1,500.

How does VAT work for a UK company buying from an EU supplier?

For business-to-business services the reverse charge applies: we invoice without VAT and you account for it in your own return. You will need to give us your VAT number. Your accountant will recognise the arrangement immediately — it is standard.

How long until the site is live?

Two to eight weeks depending on scope. What stretches a project is almost never the development: it is the copy and the photography. With material ready, a company website goes live in two to three weeks.

Can you take over an existing site?

Yes, and it is common. We look first at whether fixing beats rebuilding, and say which with reasons. If it is a rebuild, the redirect plan is prepared before launch so hard-won rankings survive the move.

Do you handle SEO as well?

Yes. For a new site the initial optimisation for Google and Bing is €150 one-off. Ongoing monthly work is a separate, flat-fee service with no minimum term.

Will we actually own the site?

Yes, from go-live on the one-off option: domain, hosting, content and source code are all in your company's name. On the monthly plan we manage it for the minimum term, but the content remains yours throughout.

Do you build software as well as websites?

Yes — it is where we started. Stock, jobs, service reports, client portals and apps for field teams. Fairly often what a company actually needs is not a new website but an internal tool that saves hours every week.

Got a project in London?

Thirty minutes on a call, free and with no sales deck: we tell you what you actually need, what it costs and how long it takes to go live.
