The independent alternative to a London agency

London has hundreds of agencies. Most have three-tier retainers, account managers between you and the work, and a page-builder template dressed up as bespoke. That's the wrong shape for most founders. We're the other option: a small senior studio where you brief the people building the site, decisions happen in a WhatsApp thread, and the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.

We work across the whole of London — Shoreditch startups, Hackney cafés, Camden studios, Southwark restaurants, Croydon service businesses, Kensington professional firms. Every site is custom-coded, tuned for London local SEO, and shipped in weeks not quarters.

  • Independent shops, bars and restaurants across Shoreditch, Hackney and Islington
  • Trades, studios and service businesses covering North, East, South and West London
  • Founders and growing brands across Central London and the outer boroughs

Local SEO for London — done properly

Ranking for "web design London" or "plumber Hackney" or "pilates Shoreditch" isn't a plugin — it's the sum of a fast site, clean schema, a verified Google Business Profile pointing at your CO postcode, real reviews, and content written for the searches locals actually run. We do all of it, on every build.

  • LocalBusiness schema with borough-level London targeting
  • Google Business Profile set up, verified and category-optimised
  • Core Web Vitals in the green — most sites load in under a second
  • Location + service pages for the London boroughs you actually serve
  • Review capture wired into the booking / checkout flow

Recent London work

"We were running on a Squarespace site that nobody could find. RIOT rebuilt it from scratch with a proper menu, online ordering and SEO that actually targets our part of London. Direct bookings doubled within three months and we stopped losing margin to the delivery apps on most of them."
