Websites that grow your business.
Websites and SEO for local businesses across South East London. None of the agency nonsense.
Web Design & SEO Studio, East Dulwich
I'm Sam Stagg — web designer and local SEO specialist based in East Dulwich, SE22.
I work with small businesses across South East London — from Peckham and Camberwell to Crystal Palace, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Deptford, Greenwich, Bermondsey and beyond. Too many local businesses are either invisible on Google or have websites that don't do them justice. I fix both problems directly, with no agencies, and no bloated monthly fees.
Need a new website or a website redesign? I build custom sites for local businesses, priced per project after a quick chat about what you need. Already have a site? An SEO audit will show you exactly what's holding it back. Either way, you see the work before you spend a penny.

Common Questions
How much does a website cost?
Every project is priced per scope. After a quick chat about what you need, I'll send a clear quote — a one-off build fee from £350, then £30/month covering hosting, ongoing management, tweaks and local SEO. No hidden costs. You see the finished site before you pay anything.
Do you offer SEO without building a new website?
Yes. I offer a standalone SEO audit that shows you exactly what's holding your site back on Google — a full report with actionable fixes you can keep. If your site needs a rebuild after that, we can talk about it. No obligation.
What areas of London do you cover?
Based in East Dulwich, SE22, working with businesses across South East London — Peckham, Camberwell, Crystal Palace, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Brixton, Bermondsey, Sydenham, Nunhead, New Cross, Lewisham, Catford, Brockley, Honor Oak, Deptford, Greenwich, Rotherhithe, Denmark Hill, Elephant & Castle and beyond. If you're in an SE postcode, get in touch.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most sites are designed, built and ready to review within 1 to 2 weeks. Once you're happy, it can go live on your domain the same day.
Can I see the website before I pay?
Always. The site is fully built and shown to you on a preview link before any invoice is sent. You only pay when you're happy with it.
What's wrong with Wix or Squarespace?
They produce slow, bloated websites that Google penalises in search rankings. They charge ongoing fees that add up to more than a custom build, and they look like templates because they are templates. A hand-coded site loads faster, ranks better, and looks unique to your business. Read the full comparison: Wix vs Custom Website.
Do you do website redesigns, or only new builds?
Both. A website redesign is one of the most common projects I take on. If your existing site is slow, outdated, or not ranking on Google, I'll rebuild it from scratch — hand-coded, mobile-first, and optimised for search from day one. Pricing is the same as a new build and scoped per project.
