the dev studio.
Web design in the UK

Websites, stores and apps for UK businesses, at a fixed price.

We have built and looked after websites for UK companies since 2012. You get a senior team, UK working-hours overlap every day and a price agreed before we start.

The Dev Studio works with businesses across the UK, from London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Liverpool, Cardiff and Belfast. We design and build websites and online stores, run SEO and paid ads, and build mobile apps, all with one accountable team.

UK customers expect a fast site, clear prices and a cookie banner that actually respects their choice. We build for UK GDPR and PECR from the start, show your company details the way UK law asks, and set up analytics so you can see which pages and ads bring enquiries.

Doing business online in the UK

Sales tax
The standard VAT rate is 20%. If you are VAT-registered, show your VAT number and VAT-inclusive prices to consumers. Our own invoices are issued in USD from outside the UK.
Privacy and marketing rules
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act, with PECR for cookies and email marketing. Non-essential cookies need consent before they load. The regulator is the ICO.
Online payments
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe or your bank, PayPal, Klarna and Clearpay for instalments, and bank payments through Open Banking.
What customers expect to see
A limited company must show its registered name, company number and registered office on its website. Customers also look for reviews, clear delivery and returns terms, and an accessible site.

What makes a website work in the UK

01

Cookie consent that passes

Analytics and ad tags load only after consent, with Google Consent Mode set up so your reporting still works.

02

Built to rank locally

Location pages, Google Business Profile support and schema for the towns and cities you serve, not only your head office.

03

Fast on mobile data

Lean pages that load quickly on a phone, because that is where most UK searches happen.

04

Ready for AI search

Clear answers, structured data and an llms.txt file so ChatGPT and Google's AI results can recommend you.
