BM.studio is a bespoke web design studio in Faversham, Kent, run by Michael McCorry. I build custom websites, ecommerce stores, and digital systems for businesses across Kent and the UK.
BM.studio builds bespoke websites for Kent businesses from £900. Three tiers: Starter, Growth (£1,500) and Professional (£2,495). Based in Faversham, with dedicated pages for Margate, Canterbury, Maidstone, Ashford, Folkestone and the wider Kent county.
Brochure sites: Starter £900, Growth £1,500, Professional £2,495. Larger brochure builds from £3,000. Ecommerce from £2,995. Every project is scoped clearly before work begins. 50% deposit to start.
Most business websites are live within 1 to 2 weeks. Larger projects with more pages or custom features take a bit longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Not much. A rough idea of what you need, any photos or logo you have, and your contact details. I'll guide you through the rest. You don't need everything figured out before getting in touch.
Yes. Whether it needs a full redesign, a few pages updated, or some SEO work, get in touch and I'll take a look.
Yes. I'm based in Faversham but work with businesses across the UK and worldwide. Everything is done remotely. Most clients never need a face-to-face meeting, wherever they are.
Yes. Shopify and WooCommerce stores start from £2,995 for smaller catalogues, £3,995 for roughly 50 to 200 products, and from £5,000 for larger or more complex Shopify builds.
Shopify is easier to manage day-to-day and great if you want a platform that just works. WooCommerce (built on WordPress) gives you more flexibility and lower ongoing costs, but needs a bit more upkeep. I'll help you choose the right one for your business.
I offer optional care plans. Brochure Care is £390 a year (or £39 a month) and includes 2 hours of work and 2 small edits a year. Ecommerce Care is £990 a year (or £99 a month) and includes 8 hours of work and 4 small edits a year. Extra work is £85 an hour. Alternatively, I can hand the completed website over for you to manage directly.
Starter is £900 for a focused brochure site. Growth is £1,500 for a fuller marketing site with keyword ready copy. Professional is £2,495 for a larger build with richer integrations. Anything beyond that is scoped from £3,000. Ecommerce starts from £2,995.
Every BM.studio website is built from scratch and mobile first. No templates, and no theme you will recognise on another Kent business website.
SEO and GEO foundations are built into every website: clean page structure, metadata, schema markup and an llms.txt file. Deeper search work is priced separately. SEO Audit £495. SEO Foundations £895.
Growth includes 30 days of support after launch and Professional includes two rounds of revisions. After that, Brochure Care is £390 a year (or £39 a month) for 2 hours of work and 2 small edits, or extra work is £85 an hour as you need it.
Stores with under 50 products start from £2,995 and a catalogue of 50 to 200 products is £3,995. Stores with 200+ products, or more complex Shopify builds with custom checkout logic, start from £5,000. Every store covers storefront setup, product and collection structure, payments, shipping configuration and SEO ready foundations, on a fixed quote agreed before work starts.
There is no practical limit. The S&D Darting Dynamics store in Faversham launched with more than 750 products, organised into structured collections and brand categories so customers can actually find what they want.
Yes. Existing Shopify and WooCommerce stores can be redesigned, restructured or fixed rather than rebuilt from scratch. Send the link and I will tell you honestly whether it is worth reworking or starting again.
Ecommerce Care is £990 a year (or £99 a month) and includes 8 hours of work and 4 small edits a year. It is optional. If you would rather run the store yourself, it is handed over for you to manage directly.
An SEO Audit is £495: technical and on page review, local search signals, and a priority fix list you can hand to anyone. SEO Foundations is £895: hands on work with metadata, internal links, schema and page structure changed for you, with GEO foundations included.
Yes. Local work covers Google Business Profile signals, consistent business details across directories, location pages and local schema. There are dedicated pages for Faversham, Canterbury, Maidstone, Margate and the wider Kent county.
Technical and on page fixes can show up within a few weeks of Google recrawling the site. Competitive local terms usually take a few months of consistent work. Anyone promising page one in days is selling something else.
For most small local businesses a one off foundations project, plus a well kept Google Business Profile, is enough to compete. Ongoing SEO is scoped monthly and makes sense in a competitive market or when you are publishing content regularly.

Common questions
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization: structuring your website so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can read, trust and cite your business accurately when someone asks them for a recommendation.
SEO gets your page into a list of links. GEO gets your facts quoted inside an AI answer, where only two or three businesses may be mentioned at all. In practice they overlap, because clean structure, schema markup and clear factual answers help both.
Yes. Schema markup, FAQ structure, an llms.txt file, semantic HTML and fast performance are part of every BM.studio website rather than a paid add on.
Yes. A GEO Review is £495 and checks how citable your current site is, then returns a priority fix list. GEO Foundations is £795: structured service pages, FAQ answers with schema markup, llms.txt setup and factual content refinements.

Common questions
Anything beyond a standard website: client portals, booking and scheduling flows, admin dashboards, quoting tools, internal automations and integrations between software you already pay for.
Because a fixed price on a guess helps nobody. Discovery maps the workflow, the users, the data and the integrations. It is £750, capped at two calls in one week, and credited to the build from £7,500 when you proceed.
Bespoke systems start from £7,500. Discovery is £750 for two calls (about 90 minutes in total) within one week, and that fee is credited to the build when you go ahead. Final price is agreed after discovery, based on user types, data and integrations. After credit, a 50% deposit starts the build.
Usually yes. Custom builds can integrate with CRMs, email platforms, payment providers, accounting software and anything else with an API. Discovery checks what is possible before the build is priced.
