Web design and development in Leicester, under one roof.
Most Leicester agencies design the site and hand the build to someone else. We do both, which is why the complicated ones end up with us.
Free 30 minutes. No pitch, no obligation.
There's no shortage of web designers in Leicester who will design you a website. Fewer of them write the code. It gets subcontracted, and that gap is where the disappointing bit usually happens.
We're designers and developers in one team. That matters when the site has to do something: a quoting tool, a booking system wired into what you already run. Those projects go wrong when design and build are two companies.
628 Studio's Leicester office is at Dock on Exploration Drive, near the science park off the A6. We work with businesses across Leicester, Oadby, Wigston, Blaby, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton and Market Harborough, and many we've never needed to meet.
This is probably you if
- You need the website to do a job, not just describe one.
- Your last site was designed by one company and built badly by another.
- You're on a platform you can't leave without starting again.
- You want a developer in the room when the design decisions are made.
Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

What that involves
Design and engineering together
The developer is in the room when the design is decided, so nothing gets designed that can't be built well, and nothing gets built that misses the point of the design.
Custom development
Laravel, written for your business rather than bent out of a template. Calculators, portals, configurators, member areas, anything the brochure sites can't do.
Integrations
The site talking to your accounting, CRM, stock or courier systems, so nothing is typed twice and nothing quietly falls out of sync.
E-commerce that fits
Trade pricing, complex product options, stock rules that reflect how you actually sell rather than how a platform assumed you would.
A CMS with your fields in it
Filament admin panels built around your content, so your marketing team is independent of us the week after launch.
Performance and search
Measured load times, the structured data that places you in Leicester, and a Google Business Profile that agrees with the site.
“Kryspin and Luke built the system the club runs on: classes, timetables, course blocks and bookings in one place, with parents able to book a spot themselves instead of ringing us. They were very professional, responsive, and transparent throughout the project. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced software engineering or website designing company.”

Plenty of sites look fine and do nothing. We build the other sort: quick, clear, and easy for someone to get in touch through.

Plenty of studios can build you a website. Here's what tends to make the difference.
Design and engineering, one team
The people who name it and draw it sit with the people who build it. No handover between two suppliers, and no gap in the middle for you to manage.
We'll tell you not to spend
If a tidy-up solves it, we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild. We'd rather lose the bigger job than take money for something that won't pay back.
You talk to the people building it
Founder-led, so there's no account manager relaying your question to someone you never meet. Decisions get made in the same conversation.
A fixed price before we start
You get the number up front, after a free call. No day rate quietly ticking over and no invoice that surprises you at the end.
You own all of it
Code, designs, hosting, repositories. No proprietary platform you can't leave and no licence that grows every time you hire someone.
Offices you can actually visit
Leicester and Huddersfield. Happy to sit down with you and map the thing out in person, happy to keep it to a call if that's easier.
