I already have a website. Can you improve it instead?

Often, yes. We test your current site for speed, Google and how easy it is to get in touch, then tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing or cheaper to rebuild. If you rebuild, we move your content and keep your Google rankings safe with proper redirects.

What do you need from me to get started?

Answers to the quote questions, your logo if you have one, and some photos of your work or premises. We help write the words, so you do not need to. After that, a short call and a few minutes to check each draft.

Half when we start and the rest when you are happy and the site goes live, by bank transfer or a secure payment link. Monthly plans are paid monthly with no minimum term.

Do you only work in London?

No. We are based in London and work with businesses across the UK. Everything can be done by phone, video call and email, so where you are does not slow anything down.

Yes. You own your content and your design. If you ever leave, we hand everything over.

Do I have to take a monthly plan?

Not for a website. Plans are optional, and without one we hand the site over for you to host yourself. Systems and CRMs are the exception: they include £79 a month for hosting, security and backups.

How long does a website take?

Most websites are live within 1–2 weeks of the first call, once we have your photos and text.

Can I change things myself?

Yes. On sites with a dashboard you update menus, prices and photos yourself. On any plan you can ask us to do it, and small changes are included in Care and Fully managed.

Is my website secure?

Yes. Every website we host has an encrypted connection, always-on protection against attacks and bad bots, spam filtering on forms, a one-time-code login on any dashboard, and automatic backups. Standard sites have no WordPress or plugins to hack.

Yes, with 30 days' notice. No long contracts.

Why Highkept

What we do differently.

Most small business websites are put together from a template and left alone. Ours are engineered, measured and looked after.

01Written by hand, not dragged and droppedWe write every site in clean code instead of a page builder and a stack of plugins, and we code Shopify themes from scratch too, so there is no template to buy. Pages load faster, rank better and leave far less for attackers to break into.This website scores 100 on Google’s speed test
02Systems, not just pagesMost web designers stop at the website. We also build what runs behind it: bookings, customer records, contracts, invoices and the reminders that chase them.Our letting agent CRM runs a real agency every day
03Engineered and testedOur founder is a software engineer doing a PhD in robotics software, where things have to work every time. The same habits go into your site: it is tested before launch and before every change goes live.BSc Computer Science · MSc Robotics
04Built by people who run businessesWe have sold online and helped run a letting agency, so we design for what pays: the call, the booking, the sale. Not just for how it looks.Selling online since 2017
05Found on Google and AI searchEvery page is set up for Google and for the AI assistants people now ask for recommendations: clear structure, local details, and the hidden data search engines read.Search data built into every page
06One studio for all of itWebsite, store, systems, ads and hosting, with one point of contact. No passing you between a designer, a developer and an ads agency.One point of contact, start to finish

Don't take our word for it.This website, measured with Google's Lighthouse test on phone and desktop. We run the same test on every site before it goes live.Already have a website? We will test it free and tell you what is holding it back →

Safe and secure

Built to keep your business and your customers safe.

Small business websites get attacked every day, mostly by automated bots. Every website we host has serious protection switched on from day one, the same kind large companies use, and you never have to think about it.

01The padlock on every pageYour site and every form on it run over an encrypted connection, so details people send you cannot be read on the way. The certificate renews itself, so it never lapses.
02Kept online under attackSites run on a global network built to absorb floods of fake traffic meant to knock them offline. That protection is always on, at no extra cost.
03A firewall in front of your siteKnown hacking attempts and bad bots are blocked before they reach your website, and spam is filtered out of your forms.
04Nothing to hackNo WordPress, no plugins, no database exposed to the internet on a standard site. Fewer moving parts means far fewer ways in, and nothing that needs constant patching.
05A locked dashboardIf your site has a dashboard, the login is protected with a one-time code sent to your email, so a stolen password on its own is not enough to get in.
06Backups and an undo buttonEvery change is saved as a version we can roll back to in minutes, and your data is backed up automatically.
