Kerb Studio builds fast, custom, mobile-first websites for local businesses across the UK - from £250, with a free demo of your own before you pay a penny. Look sharp the moment a customer lands, rank for the searches that matter, and win the call - plus bespoke software to run the work behind it if you want it.
Web design for local businesses: every site custom-built (no WordPress), prices from £250, and you see a free demo before you pay.
Most local businesses lose work not on price or skill, but because a worse competitor simply shows up first on Google and looks the part. A sharp, fast website with local SEO puts you back in front of the people already searching for what you do.
A modern site, found on Google, with bespoke software behind it if you need to run the whole job - all built by one person, start to finish.
Custom-built, mobile-first and fast, using your own photos and reviews - not an off-the-shelf template anyone can buy.
Set up to rank for your town and trade, with your Google Business Profile sorted too, so the right people find you.

Every one made from scratch around a real business - different trades, same standard. Each is a live, clickable site.
Kerb builds every website custom from scratch rather than using WordPress. WordPress is a fine tool and the right fit for some projects - it just isn't how I build. For most local businesses, a custom-built site is faster, cheaper to run and safer.
| Custom-built by Kerb | A typical WordPress site | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Lightweight, purpose-built pages - nothing loads that isn't used | Themes plus several plugins add weight that can slow pages down |
| Running cost | No theme or plugin licences to renew | Premium themes and plugins often need yearly subscriptions |
| Security | No plugin surface to attack, nothing to patch every week | Core and plugins need regular security updates to stay safe |
| Upkeep | I look after it for you on a simple monthly | Someone has to keep plugins updated or things break |
| Made for you | Built around your business, start to finish, by one person | Often assembled from an off-the-shelf theme anyone can buy |
