I'm Sam, and I started Harbour Web Design because I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant startups and small businesses either overpaying for cookie-cutter templates or getting burned by freelancers who overpromise and underdeliver.
Here's how we work: if we can build what you want, we'll build it properly and tell you exactly what it costs upfront. If we can't do it, or if it's not the right fit, we'll tell you that too — honestly, before you spend a penny.
Customer satisfaction isn't a buzzword here — it's the entire business model. We don't move on until you're genuinely happy with what we've built. That's it.
Our promise: Honest quotes, unlimited revisions, and a website you're proud to show people.
Fair question — here's the straight answer.
Wix and Squarespace are fine for a quick placeholder — but if you want something built for your business, not by a drag-and-drop editor:
Get a proper website →From first chat to launch — here's exactly what happens when you work with us.
Tell us what you need. We ask questions to understand your business and goals. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — and maybe point you somewhere better.
Within 24-48 hours, you get a detailed proposal: what we'll build, what it costs (fixed price, not hourly), and how long it'll take. No hidden fees, no surprises.
We build your site and share progress along the way. You review, we adjust — as many times as needed until it's exactly what you want. Unlimited revisions means unlimited revisions.
Your site goes live. We hand over everything: files, passwords, hosting details. You own it outright. Want us to handle hosting and updates? That's what our monthly care plans are for.

Founder, Harbour Web Design
I started Harbour because I genuinely love building websites that work — not just look good. Every site I build gets the same attention whether it's a local ear wax clinic in Canterbury or a brownie business in Kent. My most recent client, Hear Well Kent, put it best: "he just knew" — and that's exactly the kind of builder I aim to be.
Harbour is a one-person operation, which means you deal directly with me from first chat to launch. No account managers, no handoffs, no one who doesn't know your project.
Every client gets the same thing: honest communication, a fixed price, and a site built to actually do a job. I don't move on until it's right — that's the whole model.
I took an awful website to Sammy not knowing what I wanted, needed or what to expect but my god, he just knew. The website we ended up with was everything and more! Great communication, very responsive to my queries and needs and very quick. I have been spreading the word since as it was just excellent service & he has such a talent! Nothing was too much and no question was silly. Extremely grateful & chuffed to bits.
