Helping Local Businesses in Kent Build Cost-Effective Websites

As we get into the swing of 2025, many small businesses in Thanet, Kent, and surrounding areas are looking to establish or improve their online presence. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in business for years, a strong website is essential to reaching customers, building trust, and staying competitive.

However, when it comes to building a website, many local businesses are tempted by DIY platforms that advertise themselves as affordable and easy to use. While these platforms can seem appealing, the reality is that they come with hidden costs, steep learning curves, and limitations that may ultimately hinder your business’s growth.

At Barrett Solutions, we understand the challenges local businesses face when trying to build an online presence. That’s why we offer professional website development services tailored to your specific needs, starting at just £750. Let’s take a closer look at why professional development pays off—and how we can help you build a website that delivers results.

As a trusted technology partner, we offer comprehensive solutions tailored to your unique business needs. Our expertise spans:

These are by no means the extent of our services and offerings. So, get in touch via our email – info@barrettsolutions.co.uk if you require bespoke systems, or IT solutions. 

Why Professional Web Development Pays Off

Here’s why working with a professional web development team like Barrett Solutions is a smart investment for your business:

At Barrett Solutions, we offer bespoke solutions tailored to your business’s specific needs. Unlike DIY platforms that rely on templates, we’ll build a website that reflects your brand identity and drives engagement. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest technology trends, ensuring your website is future-proof and built to last.

As your business grows, your website needs to evolve. We specialise in creating websites that can scale alongside your business, offering features such as e-commerce integration, inventory management, and custom applications that DIY builders simply can’t handle.

DIY websites often have weak security measures, which can put your business and customer data at risk. When you choose professional web development, we ensure your website is secure with SSL certificates, regular security audits, and compliance with data protection regulations.

While the initial cost of hiring a professional developer may seem higher than using a DIY platform, the long-term benefits outweigh the investment. At Barrett Solutions, we offer affordable pricing starting at just £750, with flexible payment plans that help you get started without breaking the bank. We also handle all the technical aspects, saving you time and effort that would otherwise be spent on troubleshooting or fixing errors.

What We Offer

At Barrett Solutions, we don’t just build websites—we partner with you to ensure your business thrives. Our services include:

  • Custom Web Development: We’ll design a website that’s visually appealing, easy to navigate, and built for optimal performance across all devices.
  • Ongoing Support and Maintenance: Your website won’t just be a one-time project; we provide continuous maintenance to ensure everything runs smoothly as your business grows.
  • SEO & Marketing Services: A website is only effective if people can find it. We offer SEO services to improve your rankings on search engines and marketing tools to help you reach a wider audience.
  • Integrated Solutions: From payment systems to inventory management, we can integrate custom features into your website that support your business operations.

Real Local Success Stories

We’ve had the privilege of working with local businesses in Thanet to help them grow and reach new customers online. A few examples include:

  • Felicity’s Cafe: We built a website that not only showcases the cafe’s delicious menu but also integrates an easy-to-use table booking system. This feature allows customers to conveniently book tables online, enhancing the dining experience and helping the business manage reservations more efficiently.
  • Weddings at Quex: For Weddings at Quex, we created a beautiful, user-friendly website that includes a booking page for wedding tours. This feature streamlines the process for couples interested in touring the venue and booking their weddings, ultimately helping the business attract more clients and bookings. We also created a new logo for them just last year, to suit their specifications and their vision for the company. 

These are just two examples of how we help local businesses thrive with tailored web solutions that are both cost-effective and impactful.

Key Benefits of Event Management and Pre-Ordering Systems for Independent Businesses
  1. Reduced Wait Times: Pre-ordering systems allow customers to order ahead, ensuring that their food or tickets are ready when they arrive, reducing long lines and wait times.
  2. Increased Sales: By allowing customers to pre-order, businesses can manage demand more effectively, leading to increased sales and less wasted stock.
  3. Streamlined Operations: These systems make it easier to manage events and orders, from tracking pre-orders to adjusting inventory and staffing needs.
  4. Enhanced Customer Experience: Customers appreciate the convenience of ordering ahead, and they’re more likely to return for future events or purchases.
