A small city where the bar is set high.
Cambridge is the most searched city in the East of England for almost any business you can name. So the bar for a website that rises to the top is high, and there’s no room at all for a slow, dated one.
Cambridge isn’t one market, it’s several. The university and its spin-outs. The independent shops on Mill Road, Magdalene Street and Bridge Street. The hospitality on the river. The professional services along Hills Road. The biotech corridor heading out to Cherry Hinton and the Science Park. Each one searches differently, behaves differently, and needs a website that respects that.
For most Cambridge small businesses the brief is the same: be found for what you actually sell, look like the kind of place a customer would happily walk into, and turn that visit into a booking, a sale or an enquiry. None of which a fifty-pound template will do for you.
I work from Littleport, just outside Ely, 25 minutes north of the city. Most of the work happens over Zoom and email, which saves everyone time, but there’s usually a coffee in the diary if you would rather meet in person.
Three reasons Cambridge businesses choose Lord Knows.
Cambridge has no shortage of agencies. Three reasons a shop, a charity or an independent gets a better result, and a calmer project, from a web designer 25 minutes up the road.
-
One designer, 25 years in.
No account manager, no project coordinator, no hand-off to someone junior. The person who designs your site has been building websites since 2001, more than 1,200 of them, and is the person you email when something needs changing, with a reply the same day.
-
Local search built in.
Google Business Profile, local schema, citations across UK directories and Cambridge-specific keyword research, built into the site from day one rather than bolted on later as a separate retainer.
-
A price you can plan around.
A fixed price, agreed in writing before any work begins, from £1,700 for a smaller site and quoted to scope for larger bespoke builds. It doesn’t creep once we have started, and there’s nothing awkward to explain to anyone later.
Three Cambridge businesses, three different jobs.

“Creativity and expert technical knowledge, and he takes the time to understand what his clients want.”
