services · Web design in West London, modern-stack websites for W and SW postcodes
West London businesses do not need a Shoreditch agency. They need someone in the postcode.
Web design and development across West London (W2, W6, W8, W9, W10, W11, W14, SW3, SW6, SW10) from a Notting Hill studio. Modern stack first. 5,000-plus sites of practice.
Who I build for in West London
West London is a particular kind of brief. The businesses I work with here are not first-time-website territory. They are running real revenue, they have a brand they care about, and they have outgrown the WordPress install a freelancer set up for them in 2019. The business is in the W or SW postcode cluster, the agency relationship has run out of steam, and the next iteration of the site needs to be modern-stack rather than another WordPress patch job.

Specifically, the West London-based clients I take on tend to fit one of these three shapes:
- Independent businesses across Notting Hill, Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, Holland Park, Maida Vale, Ealing, Hammersmith, Chiswick
- Established brands with offices in West London tired of agencies who do not know the area
- Founders and operators who want the agency conversation to happen at the studio, not over Zoom from a different time zone
If your business in W sits in any of those, the rest of this page describes how I actually deliver.
What I actually deliver
Three differentiators from the generic London agency route, none of which are visible on a typical agency homepage:

Personal brand, not an account manager chain
Most West London businesses have the agency-fatigue version of this story: kicked off with the founder, ended up with a junior account manager three weeks in. I am the senior on every engagement I take. More than 5,000 sites of practice across twelve years, and the kickoff conversation is with me directly, not a sales chain.
Notting Hill office, in-person when it helps
The studio is at Office 77, 22 Notting Hill Gate. For West London clients, that is a ten to twenty-minute walk or a single tube stop. Most engagements run on Slack and Calendly, but I am genuinely close enough that we can meet in person for the parts where it matters, kickoff, design review, post-launch.
Why not the generic London web agency route
Three things to watch for in any London agency proposal that does not explicitly address them:
Read the full detail
- Plugin sprawl on day one. If the proposal lists 20-plus plugins as the build approach, the security and performance posture is already broken before launch. Modern stack means fewer dependencies, not more.
- Designer-developer handoff with two account managers. The fastest engagements are the ones where the senior who scoped the work is the same one who codes the work. Most agencies cannot deliver that past employee five.
- No SEO transport plan for migrations. If you are moving off an existing site and the proposal does not mention redirect maps, Yoast or Rank Math metadata transport, or schema preservation, the migration will lose rankings. Every time.
My site migration playbook covers the SEO transport side specifically, and the WordPress to Next.js migration post is the technical detail.
The West London advantage
West London is the area I both live and work. The studio at 22 Notting Hill Gate is a 30-minute radius from most W and SW businesses, Notting Hill, Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, Hammersmith, Holland Park, Maida Vale, Bayswater, Paddington, Shepherd's Bush, Ealing. For West London engagements specifically, the in-person factor is the differentiator that distant-team agencies cannot match.
Hybrid model is standard: weekly studio session for kickoff and review, async for day-to-day. The senior who scoped the brief is the same one writing the code. No junior handoff, no account manager chain.
Web design across West London, postcode by postcode
I take on a small number of West London builds at a time, and they cluster in a few postcodes. If you are searching for any of these, this is the page:

- Web design Kensington and Holland Park (W8, W11), heritage brands, galleries, and professional practices that need a site as considered as the address.
- Web design Chelsea (SW3), boutiques, clinics, and studios off the King's Road that have outgrown a template and want something bespoke.
- Web design Fulham and Parsons Green (SW6), independent businesses and founders who want a modern-stack site, not another WordPress patch job.
- Web design Notting Hill (W11), the home studio postcode; agencies, shops, and hospitality that want a local who answers the phone.
- Web design Hammersmith, Chiswick and Ealing (W6, W4, W5), established W-cluster businesses ready to move off a freelancer build from 2019.
Same operator on every one of these: brief, build, and aftercare from one person who has shipped more than 5,000 sites, not a junior assigned by an account manager.

FAQ
Do you offer web design in West London?
Yes. The studio is at 22 Notting Hill Gate, which is a short hop from West London. The engagements are run on Slack and video calls primarily; in-person kickoff and design reviews when they help. London-rate pricing in line with the kind of work, not the cheapest in the borough, not the most expensive.

What stack do you build on?
Next.js, Astro, and Supabase by default. Headless WordPress when the editorial team is already in wp-admin and the public site needs the modern stack. Sanity, Payload, Storyblok, or Strapi as the CMS layer when the brief calls for it. WordPress monolithic only when it is genuinely the right tool, small content sites, established editorial teams, no complex requirements.
How much does a West London website project cost?
Starting rates in 2026 run as follows. A content-focused marketing site on a modern stack with SEO transport starts from £3,900. A custom build featuring authenticated portals and dashboards, or programmatic SEO, starts from £6,200. Ecommerce and multi-language setups, along with 50,000-plus page directories, start from £12,000. The first 30-minute call is the fastest way to get a real number for your specific brief.
Do you take on small projects?
It depends on the brief. Single-page landing pages and minor content updates are usually better placed with a freelancer or a smaller agency. Anything past 5 pages, anything involving migration, anything with structured data or programmatic content, anything with a real performance or security requirement, that is where I add the most value.
When you're ready
If you are running a business in West London and your website is the bottleneck, too slow, gets hacked, the editor team can't update it without breaking it, or the new design that was supposed to ship in March is still in Figma, the next 30 minutes is the fastest way to fix the diagnosis.
