We help small service businesses turn what they do into a clear, credible website—giving customers the information and confidence they need to enquire.
Small studio. Proper attention.
One point of contact from first chat to launch.
Clear services, useful proof and an easy way for customers to get in touch.
We concentrate on the websites small service businesses actually need: clear, credible and designed to help the right customers take the next step.
Clear, professional websites that explain what a service business does and give the right visitors a better chance of becoming enquiries.
If your current website feels dated, we can create a completely new replacement and connect it to your existing domain. We do not modify or repair the existing website.
Your website, hosting and ongoing support are looked after together, so you are not left managing the technical side yourself.
A professional website built around your business, with the hosting, ongoing management and updates handled by Stour.
One clear monthly cost for the first 12 months · Scope agreed before work begins

We ask how customers find you, what they need to know and what you want them to do next.
Pages, proof and enquiry routes are planned to support a real customer decision—not added for decoration.
The finished website is clear, accessible and effortless to use on a phone, with an obvious route to enquire.
Client launches and focused concepts showing how the same business-led approach can produce very different websites.
A warm, welcoming website for a community-owned village pub, bringing its story, events, gallery and practical visitor information together in one clear online home.

A calm, collaborative process with a defined scope, regular reviews and clear decisions from start to finish.
We talk about your business, customers and what the website actually needs to achieve.
You receive a simple scope, an agreed timeline and a clear explanation of what is included before anything begins.

We connect the website to your domain, manage the hosting and remain on hand for ongoing updates and practical support.
Stour Web Studio is an independent website studio based near the River Stour on the Essex–Suffolk border, working with small service businesses across the UK.
You deal directly with the person planning, reviewing and looking after your project—from the first conversation through to launch. Everything can be handled remotely without losing the personal service, and if something falls outside our focused offer, we will tell you before work begins.
Yes. Stour is based near the River Stour on the Essex–Suffolk border, but projects are planned and delivered remotely for good small businesses anywhere in the UK.
We specialise in clear brochure and enquiry websites for small service businesses. We do not currently take on online shops, membership platforms or complex custom software.
We can replace an existing website with a completely new Stour website while retaining your current domain. We do not modify, maintain or repair websites built by other providers.
Stour uses a modern, efficient production process under personal direction. Every website is planned around the business, reviewed with you and checked across phones and computers before launch.
Stour continues to look after the website as part of the service. Managed hosting, ongoing management and updates are included, so you have one familiar point of contact rather than being left to handle the technical side yourself.
The current launch offer has no upfront website build cost. The service is £49 per month for 12 months and includes the website build, hosting, ongoing management and updates. The scope is agreed before work begins, and anything outside it is discussed and quoted separately.
Tell us how your business works and what you need customers to do. We'll confirm whether the project is a good fit and come back with a useful recommendation rather than a sales script.
