A Derby-Based Web Development Agency Since 2020

We are a small team of developers, designers, and strategists based in Derby, UK, building custom websites, Shopify stores, WordPress sites, mobile apps and SEO campaigns for businesses across the UK.

Webgenix was founded in 2020 in Derby with a simple goal: to give local businesses the kind of high-quality, honest web development service that usually only comes from expensive London or Manchester agencies — without the overheads, account managers, or inflated day rates.

Since then, we have delivered over 100 projects for clients across the East Midlands, the wider UK, and internationally. Every site we build is hand-coded for performance, properly optimised for search engines, and priced transparently from the first quote.

Our Mission

To give UK small and medium businesses the same calibre of web development, e-commerce, and SEO work that larger agencies reserve for their biggest clients — at fair, transparent prices.

Our Approach

Direct access to the developers building your site. Fixed-price quotes with no billing surprises. Honest advice, even when it means recommending something we do not sell.

Our Values

Transparency, craftsmanship, and long-term partnership. We would rather deliver a smaller project brilliantly than win a big one we cannot support properly.

// What Drives Us

Our Core Principles

Direct Access

You speak directly with the developers building your site. No account managers, no handoffs, no filtered communication.

Honest Pricing

Fixed-price quotes with a clear written scope of what is and is not included. No surprise invoices, no scope creep billing.

Craftsmanship

Hand-coded for performance and security. Every site we deliver meets modern standards for speed, accessibility, and SEO.

Long-Term Partnership

Most of our clients stay with us post-launch for care, content, and ongoing SEO. We are built for long relationships, not one-off builds.
