Web design in Chatham.
The commercial heart of Medway — the Dockyard heritage, the Pentagon, the universities, and a dense small-business scene serving a quarter of a million people across the Medway towns.
Medway's marketplace
Chatham is where Medway shops, studies and does business — which makes its search results some of the most valuable in the area. A Chatham trade or service isn't really competing town-by-town; it's competing across the whole Medway conurbation, where Rochester, Gillingham and Chatham blur into one market of 280,000 people. The businesses that win it are the ones whose websites treat Medway as one audience and show up everywhere it searches.
What our Kent audit found
Across the 48 Kent business websites we audited in July 2026, the average site carried 1.65 technical issues and 46% had at least one serious problem — no HTTPS, security warnings, or the site simply being down. Our rolling audit is still working through Medway, and the early Chatham sample was actually cleaner than the county average — but "cleaner than a 46% serious-fault rate" is a low bar, and the county-wide patterns (security warnings, missing structured data, mobile failures) apply here as much as anywhere. Twenty seconds with the free health checker will tell you exactly where your site stands; the full study is in the 2026 report.
Local SEO across the Medway towns
Ranking in Chatham means ranking in Medway — service pages that honestly cover the towns you serve, a Google Business Profile with real reviews, consistent details across the web, and structured data underneath. It's the same foundations that rank this site #2 for "web design essex" (see the proof), applied to a bigger, denser market.
Built for working businesses
Chatham's economy is trades, services, food and family firms — exactly who the £50/month plan was designed for. Bespoke and hand-coded, with hosting, unlimited updates and ongoing SEO included: a proper website at a price a working business can just say yes to.
Thirty minutes from Grays
Chatham is about half an hour from my studio via the A2/M2. First meetings in person when they help; after that, updates are a message away and usually same-day.
Questions from Chatham businesses
How much does a website cost in Chatham?
£50/month all-in — design, build, hosting, unlimited updates and ongoing SEO — or a one-off build if you'd rather own it outright.
Should my website target Chatham or all of Medway?
Both — one well-structured site can rank across the Medway towns, which is where your customers actually are. Splitting Medway into separate thin pages usually hurts more than helps.
Do you work with new businesses in Chatham?
Constantly — pay-monthly exists precisely so a new business gets a bespoke site without a four-figure launch bill.
