"Michael built our MATS website from scratch and did such a good job that we asked him to completely rebuild our ClippaNet site as well. Communication was clear throughout and the end result was exactly what we needed."
"Working with Michael on our new website was an excellent experience from start to finish. Michael was polite and professional throughout, always taking the time to listen to what we wanted and making sure nothing was ever too much trouble. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out, and the final website exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend ByMichael to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly web design service."

08 — FAQ
Questions I get asked a lot
Websites start from £500 for a one-page site, up to £950 for a full growth-focused build. Bespoke systems are scoped individually. You'll get a clear, itemised quote before anything starts. No surprises.
Most small business websites are live within 1–2 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.
On managed hosting I handle updates, backups, security and anything that needs fixing. If not, I hand everything over cleanly and the site is yours to manage.
Not sure if your website is costing you customers?
I'll tell you honestly what's working and what isn't. Nothing more.
