Who you’re dealing with
One person, straight answers and websites that do their job. Here’s how I work and what you can expect.
One person, straight answers and a website that does its job.
I’m Ben. I run Kindred Web Design and I build websites for small business owners. I taught myself because I genuinely enjoy it, and I take it seriously. You get someone who shows up, does the job properly and follows through.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve already got a website or have never had one. If yours is slow, awkward on a phone or just looks tired, I rebuild it. If you’ve never had one and you’re not sure it’s worth it, have a chat with me and I’ll give you an honest answer either way.
Everything I build is custom code, written for your business and nobody else’s. No page builders, no templates, no site that looks like the last bloke’s. That’s also why the sites are fast: there’s nothing under the hood you didn’t need.
That includes businesses that live online. For startups and online businesses, I build marketing sites, landing pages for launches and ads, plus full web apps with logins and payments.
I’m not going to pretend to be a big agency. I’m a one-person business, and that’s what keeps custom web design affordable for small businesses. I do one thing: websites that load fast, work on mobile and get people to make contact. You deal with me directly at every step, so you always know what’s happening and what it costs. Full pricing is on the services page.
What you can expect
- Plain English. No tech jargon. I explain things clearly.
- You own everything. The site is yours whether the accounts sit in your name or I run them for you, and you can take it with you any time.
- Mobile-first. Built for phones first, where your customers actually are.
- Honest scope. I tell you what I can do well and what I can’t, upfront.
- Stay on or hand over. Ongoing support after launch if you want it, hosting and updates included. Or take the lot and run it yourself. Your call.
Five steps, plain English the whole way
You see the design early, you know the price before anything starts, and there are no surprises after that either.
- 1
Chat
We talk about your business, who you want to reach and what’s letting your current site down. No jargon, no pressure.
- 2
Concept
You see the design on a real page early, and nothing gets built past it until you’re happy with the direction.
- 3
Build
I build it properly, in custom code: fast, mobile-first and set up to turn visitors into enquiries.
- 4
Launch
We put it live on your domain and check everything works on real phones. Then I show you how it all runs.
- 5
Support
I stay on if you want me: hosting, changes, and someone who answers when something needs doing. Your first month is included, then it’s your call.
Let’s talk about your site
Tell me a bit about your business and where things are at. If you’ve already got a website, send the link. I’ll come back to you within a couple of days.
What happens when you message
- I come back to you within a couple of days, personally
- You get a straight answer on whether a website will actually help, even if that answer is no
- If we go further, you get real numbers in writing before you commit to anything
No pressure and no follow-up campaign. One conversation, straight answers, and you decide from there.
