Web design and development in Kingston upon Thames

No, our studio is in New Malden and not in Kingston town centre. For a Kingston upon Thames project we can arrange to meet in person when that helps, for example at discovery, when we agree what the website has to do, or at handover, when your team is shown how to edit it. The rest of the work does not depend on being in the same room. We can take the brief over a call, and you review the site on a staging address as it is built, so you can look at progress whenever it suits you. You have one named contact throughout and a check-in rhythm agreed at the start. Before any design or development begins, we put the scope in writing, including what we have assumed and what is not included. If you would rather start by email, send us a few details. Where there is enough to go on, our reply will include first questions.

Yes, your shop team can update opening hours and product information themselves. Before we build a Kingston shop website, we work with your team to decide which details they need to edit, such as opening hours, location details, product categories and store information. Those become editable fields in the content management system, so a change does not disturb the page layout. At handover we provide a content-editing guide and take the editor through the tasks they will carry out. Stock levels are a separate question. If stock is held in another system, keeping the website in step with it means connecting the two, and whether that is possible depends on what that system supports and the access available. We check that connection separately and confirm it in the written scope before promising it. For an online shop built on WooCommerce, we also agree how you will take payments and handle shipping before the build starts.

Not necessarily. Several premises around Kingston can sometimes share one website, but we would look at the brands, audiences and editing responsibilities before recommending a structure. If the premises trade under one brand and offer the same services or products, a single website with a useful page for each location may fit. Each location page can carry its own opening hours, address and contact route, and the people responsible for each one can be given the fields they need to keep up to date. Separate businesses are a different case. If the premises have different names, different customers or different systems behind them, a different structure can be the better answer. During planning we map the site and write an outline of what each page needs to do, so you can see the proposed structure and question it before any design work starts. The recommendation is then recorded in the written scope.

Yes, we can keep existing pages when redesigning a Kingston business website, and we decide which ones with you. We review the current content and URLs together, identify what should stay, what needs rewriting and what can go, and plan redirects for any addresses that change. Redirects are set up as part of launch, alongside analytics, monitoring and Google Search Console, so a visitor following an old link still arrives at the right page. Pages that stay are moved into the new design using your real headings, images and copy, and we agree who supplies any new content and when it is needed. If the redesign also involves moving to a different platform or content management system, tell us at the start so that work is scoped with it. The list of retained pages, changed addresses and redirects is written down, so you can check it before the new site goes live.
