Webshark is a web development company serving businesses across the UK, from London start-ups to national brands. As a full-service web development agency, we design and build corporate websites, landing pages, web applications, customer portals and ecommerce stores that load fast, meet accessibility standards and turn visitors into enquiries and sales. Our web developers work with Laravel, React, Next.js, Node.js, WordPress, Shopify and Magento, and every build includes on-page SEO, analytics, Core Web Vitals optimisation and post-launch care. Many clients compare us with a web development company London agencies would charge far more for, and get senior engineering through our Bengaluru delivery centre with daily overlap in UK hours. Projects follow ISO 27001 certified and UK GDPR-aligned processes. Need something fully bespoke? See our custom web development.

Your website is often your best salesperson. We build it to perform.
Every site from our web development agency is mobile-first, fast and SEO-ready, with schema markup, clean URLs, accessibility built to WCAG guidelines and PECR-compliant cookie consent. Clear calls to action and conversion tracking turn traffic into leads from launch.
Our web developers follow ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 processes, code reviews and automated testing, while our Bengaluru delivery centre keeps prices well below typical London agency day rates. You get a reliable web development company UK teams can work with every day in their own hours.
A clear process takes you from brief to a live, high-performing website.
Every project with our web development company UK team starts with a discovery workshop, usually one to two weeks. We study your business model, customers, competitors and conversion goals, audit any existing site and agree priorities. You receive a sitemap, feature list, content plan, keyword map and fixed scope with timeline and budget, so everyone signs off on the same plan before design begins and there are no surprises later.
Our designers turn the plan into wireframes for every key page, then full visual designs for desktop, tablet and mobile that follow your brand guidelines. You review clickable prototypes, comment directly on screens and approve each round, typically over two to three weeks. The deliverable is a signed-off design system and page templates, which keeps development fast and makes sure the finished website feels right to UK customers from the first visit.
Developers build the site in short sprints on Laravel, Next.js, WordPress, Shopify or another platform agreed in discovery. We write clean, secure, version-controlled code, set up a CMS your team can edit without help, and connect CRMs, payment gateways, booking tools and email platforms. You get access to a staging site to review progress every week, so feedback is captured early and the build stays on schedule and on budget.
Before launch we optimise every template for search and accessibility. That means unique meta titles and descriptions, schema markup, clean URLs, internal links, compressed images and strong Core Web Vitals scores. We also test against WCAG 2.2 AA, checking colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text and screen reader labels. You receive an SEO and accessibility checklist for the site, so it is ready to rank and usable by every visitor from day one.
Our QA team tests the website on real iPhones, Android devices and the major browsers, checking forms, payments, integrations and page speed. We run security scans, configure SSL, PECR-compliant cookie consent and Google Analytics 4, then set up 301 redirects if you are replacing an old site. Launch is planned for a low-traffic window with a rollback plan, so your new website goes live with zero downtime and nothing breaks for customers.
After launch we run live CMS training sessions with your team, usually one or two hours over video call at a time that suits UK working hours. You receive written guides and short screen recordings for common tasks such as adding pages, blog posts and products, along with full admin access and login details. The goal is simple: your marketing and content teams can update the website confidently without waiting on developers.
A website should keep improving after it goes live. Our care plans cover CMS and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime and security monitoring, and a monthly allowance of development hours for changes. Many UK clients use those hours for new landing pages, campaign pages, A/B test variations and conversion improvements based on analytics data. You receive a short monthly report, so you always know what was done and how the site is performing.

Answers to the questions UK businesses ask before hiring a web development company: cost, timelines, technology and support.
With Webshark, a business website typically costs £3,000 to £9,000, a custom corporate website £9,000 to £25,000, and web applications or ecommerce stores start from £15,000. The final price depends on the number of page templates, custom functionality, integrations with CRMs or payment systems, content migration and how much design work is needed. Because our delivery team works remotely from India with UK-hours overlap, our web development company UK pricing is usually well below typical London agency rates for the same scope. We provide a fixed quote after a free discovery call.
A business website usually takes 3 to 5 weeks, a custom corporate website 5 to 8 weeks, and a web application or ecommerce store 8 to 16 weeks. Timelines depend on scope, the number of unique templates, integrations and how quickly content and feedback arrive. A typical project runs through one to two weeks of discovery, two to three weeks of design, then development, testing and launch. We share a week-by-week plan at the start and give you a staging link, so you can see progress at every stage and avoid delays.
Yes. Our web developers and project managers overlap with the UK working day, so you can hold calls, design reviews and sprint demos during normal office hours in London, Manchester, Edinburgh or anywhere else in the UK. Each client has a dedicated project manager who replies to emails and Slack or Teams messages on the same working day. We also schedule launches and urgent fixes around your business hours. Many UK clients find the time difference helpful, because routine updates are often completed overnight and ready for review the next morning.
Yes. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines, which covers colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, form labels and screen reader support. For data protection, we add PECR-compliant cookie consent, privacy notices and secure forms, and we follow UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 aligned practices such as data minimisation, encrypted storage and clear retention rules. Our processes are ISO 27001 certified. We can also sign a data processing agreement where needed. Final legal sign-off on privacy policies should come from your own legal adviser.
We use Laravel, React, Next.js, Node.js, WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento. The right platform depends on your content, budget and growth plans. WordPress suits content-rich marketing sites that editors update daily, Shopify and WooCommerce suit most online shops, Magento suits large catalogues, and Laravel or Next.js suit custom portals and web applications. During discovery we compare options against your requirements, hosting preferences and in-house skills, then recommend one platform with clear reasons, so you are not locked into something that does not fit your business.
Webshark has delivered 580+ projects for 280+ active clients across 18+ countries over more than seven years, under ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 certified processes. As a web development company UK businesses can work with directly, we bring strategy, UX design, development, SEO-ready builds, testing and ongoing care under one roof, so you deal with one accountable team. You get UK-hours overlap, fixed quotes, weekly staging updates and full ownership of your code. Our headquarters is in Bengaluru, India, which keeps costs lower than most UK agencies.
Yes. We build Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento stores for UK brands, with Stripe, PayPal, Klarna and Clearpay payments, VAT-ready pricing and delivery integrations such as Royal Mail, DPD and Evri. We also connect stock systems, ERPs and email marketing tools so orders, inventory and customer data stay in sync. Each store is built for fast mobile checkout and tested on real devices before launch. Typical ecommerce builds start from £15,000 and take 8 to 16 weeks. See our ecommerce website development page.
Yes. We start with a full audit of your current pages, rankings, backlinks and traffic in Google Search Console and Analytics. Every important URL is either kept or 301-redirected to its closest new equivalent, and we carry over titles, meta descriptions, headings and valuable content. Before launch we test redirects on staging and submit an updated XML sitemap. After go-live we monitor rankings, crawl errors and traffic for several weeks and fix any issues quickly. This careful website redesign process protects the search visibility you have already built.
Beyond website platforms, our web development team works with React, Next.js, Angular, Node.js, Python, Java Spring Boot and .NET, plus Flutter and React Native if you need a companion mobile app. We host on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, including UK data centre regions when data residency matters. The stack is chosen to fit your goals, budget and in-house skills, so your own developers or a future supplier can maintain the site easily. Everything is documented in a technical handover pack at the end of the project.
You do. All source code, designs, content, documentation and infrastructure scripts from your web development project belong to you once the project is paid for. We sign an NDA before discovery starts and include clear intellectual property assignment terms in the contract. Code is kept in a Git repository that you own or that we transfer to you at handover, along with hosting, domain and CMS admin access. That means you are never tied to Webshark and can move the website to another supplier or in-house team at any time.
Yes. Instead of a fixed-price project, UK companies can hire dedicated web developers from Webshark on monthly contracts. You can start with one front-end or full-stack developer and scale to a full team with a project manager, designer and QA engineer. Your team works in your sprints, uses your tools such as Jira, Slack or Teams, and overlaps with the UK working day. This model suits ongoing product development, agency white-label work or companies that need extra capacity quickly. See our hire full-stack developers page.
Yes. Our website care plans cover CMS and plugin updates, security patches, daily backups, uptime and speed monitoring, and a set number of hours each month for content changes and new features. Support requests are logged in a ticketing system with agreed response times, and our support team overlaps with the UK working day. You receive a monthly report covering updates, performance and work completed. Plans are flexible, so you can increase hours during busy periods such as a product launch or seasonal campaign.
