Working in London means knowing the high streets, the search behaviour and the small businesses that actually move under the bigger names. Whether you’re in Soho, Shoreditch or Sutton, the work is local, hands-on and joined-up.

Chris at J4G looks after my website. He has really improved the SEO and I have noticed a lot more traffic and enquiries. He is extremely friendly and approachable, especially given that my technological knowledge is extremely limited. I would highly recommend him if you have a website that needs improving and maintaining.

I had the pleasure of working with Christopher on designing a new logo for my company, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Communication was easy and seamless, and Christopher had a clear understanding of how the new logo should represent my brand.

The whole process was well-organized, with clear steps and regular online meetings to review progress and discuss ideas. I’m extremely pleased with Christopher’s work — he’s very creative and consistently went the extra mile to deliver a final product that I’m truly in love with. On top of that, he’s simply a great person to work with.

I cannot speak highly enough of Christopher and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. Beyond logo design, he also offers services such as web design, site maintenance, and SEO. In fact, I’ll definitely be asking Christopher to handle the SEO for my business and to re-design my website as well.

Thank you again Christopher!

Ready to build?

Thirty minutes, no pressure, no sales pitch. A conversation about the opportunity and what a properly built site could do.

Common questions

What people ask before starting.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the scope. A focused landing page, a fully bespoke website and an e-commerce build are very different pieces of work, and the same is true of ongoing support, SEO and Studio retainers, so every engagement is quoted individually after a short conversation about what you need, and confirmed in a written proposal before anything starts.

However a project is priced, we break it into milestones — each with a fixed price tied to a working deliverable. You never pay 50% of the total cost up front. Instead, you pay 50% of the first milestone to start it. When that milestone is complete, you pay the remaining 50% of it together with the 50% deposit on the next milestone — and that's what unlocks the next phase of work. The pattern continues until the final milestone is delivered, at which point you pay the remaining 50% of it.

The effect: cash flow stays smooth, you always see a working deliverable before paying for the next, and we never carry more than half a milestone of unbilled work.

How long does a project take and what does delivery look like?

Indicative timings:

  • Landing page: ~4 weeks from kick-off
  • Custom website: 4–8 weeks
  • E-commerce build: 8–12 weeks
  • Brand work: 2–8 weeks depending on tier

Delivery is broken into milestones built around working functionality, not internal phases like “design” or “build” in isolation. Think of it like an MVP and then MVP+1, MVP+2 — at the end of every milestone you have a live, usable thing you can see and sign off on.

For a typical website project, the milestones look something like this:

  1. MVP — A working homepage and core navigation on staging, with your brand applied. Real, clickable, mobile-friendly.
  2. MVP+1 — All inner pages built, forms wired, analytics installed.
  3. MVP+2 — SEO foundations, schema, performance optimisations, content polish.
  4. Launch — Final QA, DNS cutover, hand-over docs.

You'll always know what we're working on each week and what's due back from you. We never start the next milestone until the previous one is signed off and paid for, which keeps surprises out of the project.

What if I need a bit of everything — can you do that?

Yes, and this is what our Studio packages are built for. Instead of piecing together a freelance designer, a marketing agency, a developer, and a hosting account, you get all of it from one team on one monthly fee:

  • Studio Lite — SEO retainer + GBP management + WP Care + 6 hours/month of design, dev or content time.
  • Studio Standard — Bigger SEO scope, 13 hours/month design + dev, quarterly brand reviews.
  • Studio Pro — The whole stack — 18 hours/month of flex time, weekly GBP posts, monthly cross-discipline strategy session.

Studio is best for businesses who'd otherwise hire a junior designer plus a part-time marketer. It's also how we work with most of our long-standing clients — they like having one point of contact for the whole digital side.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

Yes — four WP Care plans, scaled to the size of your site, covering plugin and core updates, daily backups, security and performance monitoring, and content tweaks. Most clients pair their build with at least our Essentials plan so the site stays healthy and up to date.
