About Kitso
Small businesses deserve better than a template and an invoice.
We are a small British team building the digital side of a business properly, at a price a one-van operation can actually justify.
Why we started
Every town has that one Facebook group. The one everybody follows for incidents, roadworks and gossip. And every week somebody posts asking for a decent dog groomer, or a plumber who can come out today.
Then the comments flood. Twenty local businesses, all trying to sell themselves in a reply box, because word of mouth and a Facebook page is genuinely all they have.
Word of mouth is the best marketing there is. If you are good enough that people recommend you, keep at it. What we wanted to take away was the graft of competing for attention in a comment section every time work goes quiet.
Because people ask Google now. People ask AI now. And a business with no digital presence is invisible to both, which costs it growth, awareness and, in the end, money.
So we built Kitso. To bring small businesses into the digital era without the stress and without the fortune it usually costs to get set up.
Why we are different
Briefed by software. Designed by humans.
You have probably seen the influx of AI website builders. We are not going to sit here and pretend we do not use it. We do, and that is exactly why the price and the turnaround are what they are.
The difference is that you are not getting a one-shot website. We have spent months building customisable components, iterated for specific industries. All the software does is understand what you are trying to achieve and hand our designer a blueprint.
Then it is built with a designer’s eye. Because we are not handing out anything that resembles the AI slop flooding the market. We hate it as much as you do.
If somebody offers you a website in ten minutes, it might look fine to the untrained eye. But there are ten thousand others that look identical, and the turn against AI-generated media has already started. That is not a light you want shone on your business.
Components, not templates
MONTHS OF WORK
Hundreds of hand-designed pieces, iterated for specific industries, so a salon site is built from salon parts and a roofer's from roofing parts.
A designer builds it, not a prompt
EVERY SITE
The software hands over a blueprint. A designer decides what actually goes on the page, and signs it off before you see it.
Properly licensed imagery
INCLUDED
When you cannot supply your own photos we use licensed imagery, and it is never presented as a job you did. Honest context, or nothing.
Written for your trade
EVERY PAGE
Copy built from your answers, then cut back by a person until it sounds like you rather than like everybody else.
Your domain, your content
YOURS
Registered in your name. If you ever leave, you take it with you and we help you move.
No fake proof, anywhere
NEVER
No invented reviews, no borrowed case studies, no numbers we cannot show you where they came from. Including on this website.
How we work
Answers today. Live this week.
No brief to write, no meetings, no phone calls you have to schedule around a job.
STEP 01
TODAY
You answer the questions.
A few minutes on your phone. What you do, where you work, why people pick you. No brief, no meeting.
STEP 02
SAME DAY
We build it and send it.
Your answers become a brief, and a designer builds the site from it. A preview link lands in your inbox.
STEP 03
THIS WEEK
You approve, we go live.
Nothing is charged until you have seen it and said yes. Then the local search work starts running in the background.
Who you are dealing with
A small team, on purpose.
Kitso is deliberately small. No sales floor, no account managers, no one reading from a script. The people who build your site are the people who answer your email.
Everything is handled by email, which keeps our costs where £25 a month is genuinely possible and means whatever we agree is written down when you need to check it.

SAME DAY · NO CARD · NOTHING LIVE UNTIL YOU SAY SO
