Spark & Search is based in Stevenage. We build handcrafted, mobile-first websites for businesses across Hertfordshire and the UK — fixed price from £995, live in three weeks. No templates, no jargon. Just websites that look like you and make the phone ring.
We work out of Stevenage — and like a lot of Stevenage businesses, we serve customers well beyond it. Most of our clients are within an hour's drive: Hitchin, St Albans, Welwyn, Hertford, Watford, Letchworth, Hatfield. Plenty are further afield. The whole job is remote-friendly, so location matters less than it used to.
What being local does mean: easy to reach, easy to meet in person if you'd rather not do everything by email, and an actual understanding of the Hertfordshire commuter-belt market. We know what works for a trader in Stevenage and what works for a clinic in St Albans — they're not the same conversation.
And it means we're a name with a postcode. Not a faceless agency, not a freelancer in another country. If something needs sorting, we're sortable.
Plenty of UK agencies will happily take your money from a different city or country. Here's why working with a local studio actually changes the result.
Not everything has to be a Zoom call. For Hertfordshire clients, we're happy to meet at a café in Stevenage or come to your premises for the initial chat. Some things move faster face-to-face.
Email replies the same day. Phone calls during normal hours. Copy written in British English, by someone who knows the difference between an MOT and a service. Sounds small. Adds up.
We're not an offshore studio behind a stock photo. Local studio, local accountability. If something needs putting right, we put it right — and you know exactly where to find us.
Same process whether you're in Stevenage or Salford — every step has clear ownership and a clear deliverable. No vanishing acts.
30-minute call (or coffee in Stevenage if you're local). We learn about your business, customers, goals, and what's not working with your current site.
We draft a homepage design and one inner page so you can see the direction. One round of feedback baked in. We refine until you're nodding.
All pages built, content placed, forms wired up, SEO tags written. Preview link in your inbox to test on your own phone.
Final tweaks, final approvals, then we go live. Domain, hosting, SSL all configured. Submitted to Google. Handover guide in your inbox.
