Website redesign for small businesses in Kent

How a redesign works

1. You send us your current website. Just the address. We look at what's working and what your customers can't find.
2. We build the replacement. Your name, your services and your real reviews, on a private link that nobody else can see. It costs nothing and there's no commitment.
3. You decide. Love it? We agree a price in writing, a deposit starts the build, and we finish it with your photos. Not for you? We delete it and you owe nothing.
4. It goes live. You pay the balance before it goes live on your own web address. We hand over the keys.

What a redesign costs in Kent

We have three packages. Each one is priced for a kind of business.

• Basic, £295 For trades, clinics and anyone people call in a hurry. Live within 3 business days of your deposit and the details we need.
• Premium, £750 For garden designers, interiors, restaurants and salons, where the work sells itself. Live within 5 business days of your deposit and the details we need.
• Flagship, £995 For bespoke kitchens, venues, architects and jewellers, and for high-value products priced from a few choices, such as garden rooms, extensions and solar. Live within 14 business days of getting your logins and content.

There is no VAT to add while we are under the VAT threshold. If you pay the deposit within 3 hours of first opening your written quote, we take 10% off the price. Every client on our standard price gets the same quick-pay offer. A new web address is included for the first period, then renewed at cost.

What stays safe when your site changes

A redesign shouldn't cost you customers. We map every old page to its new one so search engines can follow you across, and we keep your existing email records in place and check your email still works before and after the switch. The web address stays in your name, and once the final payment is made the code is yours too.

Looking after it afterwards

The care plan is £25 a month on top of the site price. We host your site, keep a copy, and make up to 30 minutes of small changes a month. Cancel any time by email: payment stops, we send your site files and a move guide within 2 working days, and the site stays live for 30 days after your last paid day. Once the final payment is made, the site is yours to take elsewhere.

Where we work

We're Cutwater Studio, web design and development based in Chatham, Kent. We build for small businesses across Medway and Kent. We meet clients at their own premises across Kent and Medway, or by video call if that suits you better.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website redesign cost for a small business in Kent?

With us it's £295 for Basic, £750 for Premium and £995 for Flagship. The bigger the site and the more it does, the higher the package. Your written quote says which package suits you and why.

Do I have to pay before I see the new website?

No. We build a private preview of your new site free, and you can look at it before any money changes hands. If you don't want it, we delete it and you owe nothing.

Will I lose my Google ranking or my email?

We map every old page to its new one so search engines follow you across. We keep your existing email records in place and check your email still works before and after the switch. If you'd like a new business mailbox, we set that up as part of your package. Your current site stays exactly as it is until you've approved the new one and it goes live. We can't promise where Google will rank any site.

Who owns the new website?

You do. Your web address stays in your name, and once the final payment is made the code is yours too. If you ever leave, we hand everything over.

How long does a redesign take?

Basic goes live within 3 business days of your deposit and the details we need, Premium within 5 and Flagship within 14 business days of getting your logins and content. Business days are Monday to Friday, not counting UK bank holidays. If we're waiting on something only you can give us, such as access to your web address, the time pauses until we have it. Send us your current site and the preview comes first, within a week.
