Quick answer: A Maidstone web design project is a small set of pages that explain the service, show how to get in touch, and load properly on a phone. Starter is £150 for up to three pages. Business is £295 for up to six. Growth is £495 for up to twelve, including ecommerce or booking when that is the brief. A small brochure site is often ready in a few weeks once the words are ready.
People searching for web design in Maidstone are usually not asking for a brand exercise. They want a site that a customer in the town centre, Bearsted or Kings Hill can understand in a minute. The useful question is which pages the business can actually maintain, not how many pages a template offers.
What the first site needs to do
The first job is to say what you do, where you work and how someone books or calls. A Maidstone plumber, a Bearsted clinic and a Kings Hill consultancy do not need the same menu, but they do need the same honesty: one clear service, one contact route, and no claim the business cannot back up.
We do not invent reviews, star ratings or named clients to fill a homepage. If you have real photographs and real jobs you are happy to describe, they go on the site. If you do not, the page explains the service instead of pretending there is a case study.
The studio address is in Coulsdon, not Maidstone. That is stated on the site so a local searcher is not misled into thinking there is a high-street shop in the county town. Meetings are remote unless a workshop is worth the travel.
Which pages earn their place
Three pages are enough for many firms: a home page, a services page and a contact page. That is the shape of the Starter package at £150. Splitting every village into its own page only helps when you have something distinct to say about that place. Repeating Maidstone, Bearsted and Aylesford with the town name swapped is thin content, and we will not publish it.
A Business package at £295 stretches to six pages. That is the right size when you have two or three services that a buyer compares separately, plus a short page on how you work and a contact page with a form, a phone link and WhatsApp.
Growth, at £495 and up to twelve pages, is for a shop, a booking diary or a firm with several services and a longer explanation. A twelve-page site is not automatically better. Empty pages slow the launch and give you more to keep updated.
How the three packages differ
Each package includes the first year of the domain, hosting and SSL. Year two is around £60, paid directly to those providers. There is no long-term contract and we do not add a monthly care fee unless you later ask for website care as its own piece of work.
Starter is the brochure. Business adds room for service pages and the on-page setup that supports local search: a clear title, a sensible heading, and the same name, address and phone details you use elsewhere. Growth is where ecommerce, booking or a move from an old site usually sits. If the diary or the catalogue is larger than that scope, we quote it rather than squeezing it into the package.
The phone number on this site is the real studio number, +44 7576 480744, and the enquiry form goes to the same studio. You should expect a reply within one working day, which is what the contact page already says.
How long a small build takes
A small brochure site can be ready in a few weeks. The clock starts when the words and any photographs are in, not when the first call happens. A larger build takes longer because there are more pages to approve.
The usual order is discovery, structure, design and build, then launch. Each step is agreed before the next one starts, so the fee does not drift. If you are still deciding the services, we pause rather than designing around a guess.
Maidstone customers often find you on a phone, between Week Street and a job in Aylesford or Allington. The layout is mobile-first for that reason: a tap-to-call link, a short service summary, and a form that does not ask for twelve fields.
What you still own after launch
You should leave with the domain in your name, the hosting login, and a page you can read without a developer sitting beside you. We do not lock the site to a subscription in order to keep the first-year package cheap.
Website care, if you want it later, covers updates, backups and checks. It is separate from the build. Hosting is the server. Care is the work of looking after the site. The website care page explains that split.
If you want to see the service in more detail, start with web design or ask for a consultation. The illustration on this article is an example of a desk, not a photograph of a client's live site.
