Hythe has an older resident population than most of Kent, and that changes how a website should be built more than people expect. Larger type that does not need pinching to read. Real tap targets. Phone numbers that are actually links. Forms with visible labels rather than fashionable placeholder-only fields. A layout that still makes sense at 200% zoom. None of this is charity — it is the same accessibility work we do on every site, and here it is straightforwardly the difference between an enquiry and a bounce.
The other thing is that a good number of Hythe purchases still finish on the telephone. So the site's job is often to get somebody confident enough to ring, not to capture a form fill. That means being specific about what you do, where you cover and what it costs, and making the number impossible to miss on a phone — rather than pushing everybody into a contact form because it is easier to measure.
Coverage out onto the Marsh matters too. Businesses in Hythe often serve Dymchurch, New Romney, Lympne and Sellindge as well, and a site that only ever says "Hythe" leaves half its catchment unsearchable. We set the service areas out properly, in the site and on the Google Business Profile.

Local proof
A live site for an independent Kent trade business.
Paul Kent Heating is an independent gas, heating and plumbing business covering Ashford and the villages around it. Small site, fast, and pointed squarely at making a quote request take one tap.
It is the closest thing we have to what most local businesses in Hythe need, and it is live — you can go and look at it rather than take our word for it.

Hythe questions, answered.
Will the website be easy for older customers to use?
Yes, and it is worth being specific about what that means: readable type sizes by default, tappable buttons, phone numbers that dial when tapped, forms with permanent visible labels, sensible colour contrast, and a layout that holds together at 200% browser zoom. We build every site to those standards and test them, because in Hythe in particular they are the difference between an enquiry and a lost customer.
Where is Studio 48 based?
Studio 48 is a web design studio based in Ashford, Kent. We work with businesses across Ashford, Canterbury, Maidstone, Folkestone, Tenterden, Hythe and Faversham, and remotely with clients anywhere in the UK. Studio 48 is a trading name of COACHAI LTD, registered in England & Wales, company no. 16867415.
Do you set up our Google Business Profile?
Yes. Google Business Profile is what decides whether you appear in the local map pack for searches like "plumber in Ashford", and it matters more than the website for that. It is included from the £595 Starter tier upwards: we claim or create the profile, get the categories, service areas and hours right, and make the details on it match the website exactly.
What are your typical timelines?
Most marketing sites run four to eight weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly content and feedback come back. We'll give you a firm schedule after discovery.
