UK web developers based in Spalding, Lincolnshire
Website design, development and hosting built around how your organisation actually works
Drive By Websites Ltd designs, develops, repairs and hosts WordPress and ecommerce websites for organisations in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Every developer working on client projects has more than ten years of practical experience, and you deal directly with the people doing the work.
Experienced UK web developers
Direct, practical work from a small Lincolnshire studio
Our prices reflect the running costs of an independent studio in a rural part of the UK, rather than a large city-centre agency. The work is still handled by experienced developers. You speak to the people planning, building and supporting the website, without layers of account management between the question and the answer.
More than a decade of building and supporting live websites gives each developer useful context. We have seen what makes a site easy to manage, where ecommerce projects become fragile, how hosting affects reliability and which page or form problems quietly cost enquiries.

Website debugging servicesWider skills where they help
Development supported by content, accessibility and practical marketing experience
A website can be technically sound and still make the service difficult to understand. Our wider work in content, videography, accessibility and digital marketing helps us spot weak service pages, demanding forms, unclear calls to action and media that excludes people who rely on captions or keyboard controls.
Search visibility is considered as part of the website work. Page structure, internal links, server response, mobile layout and useful original content all affect how a site performs. These supporting skills strengthen the core development and hosting service rather than replacing it.
New builds and existing websites
Start with the website you have
Some clients arrive with a clear brief. Others have a website built years ago, a half-working plugin, an online shop with an intermittent checkout fault or a hosting setup nobody wants to touch. We can start from the state the project is in. The first job is to understand what works, what is missing and what would create the most value within the available budget.

Reviews from organisations we have supported
LouisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack at Drive By Websites is an absolute weapon. In ONE month my website clicks more than doubled, and the adverts he’s created for my business are next-level insane. The designs, the strategy, the results — everything just works. If you want real growth and not just empty promises, Jack is your guy. Could not recommend Drive By Websites more highly. Marcus PalmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack Has been helping us for many years now, from developing our website when we started MJP Supplies and improving it all the time He is always on hand when needed for any updates and his knowledge of social media is very useful. We would highly recommend his services M NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Jack at Drive By Websites to redesign our CIC website, and the entire process from start to finish has been exceptional. From our initial conversations, Jack was clear, honest, and really took the time to understand our needs — both in terms of budget and where we’re at as a growing community-focused organisation. He didn’t oversell or overpromise; instead, he offered a realistic, well-structured plan that allowed us to get a professional website live within a tight timeframe, without compromising on quality. What stood out most was Jack’s attention to detail, his professionalism, and the genuine care he puts into his work. He communicated clearly throughout, delivered exactly when he said he would, and was incredibly responsive — even when we were juggling multiple priorities like safeguarding and HAF delivery during school holidays. The website itself is clean, well-designed, and feels like a true reflection of who we are as a CIC. Jack has given us a strong, credible foundation to build from, and we now have a site we can be proud of — something that wasn’t the case before. He also gave us useful insight into SEO and blogging strategies we can take forward ourselves, without pushing expensive add-ons. All in all, I’d highly recommend Jack to any small business, CIC or charity looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable developer who works with integrity and puts clients first. This has been one of the smoothest projects we’ve had, and we’ll definitely be working with him again. Stuart GibbardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've used Jack at Drive By Websites both for our own business website and more recently for a website for Spalding & East Elloe Classic Car Club. Both times we were highly impressed with his work, knowledge and advice. We are very lucky to have such an experienced and affordable web designer in the local area. Lauren AustinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack has been great to work with from start to finish in the creation of our new website. He really took on board the ideas that we had in mind and has created some features for our site that we wouldn't have been able to do without him. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else looking for a fantastic website. Thank you again! Nikki ChamberlainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Questions
Working with Drive By Websites
Where are your web developers based?
We are based in Spalding, Lincolnshire and work with organisations throughout the UK. Local meetings can be arranged where useful, while most development and support can be handled efficiently by phone, email or video call.
Do you only build new WordPress websites?
No. We improve, repair, host and extend existing websites as well as building new ones. Work can cover a single bug, a custom plugin, an ecommerce integration or a complete rebuild.
Why are your prices lower than many larger UK agencies?
Our prices reflect an independent Lincolnshire studio with lower overheads than a city-centre agency. Each project is still handled by a developer with more than ten years of experience.
Can you take over a website built by somebody else?
Yes. We first inspect the current website, hosting and important integrations. We then explain what can be kept, what needs attention and the safest order for the work.
Can hosting, maintenance and development be handled together?
Yes. Keeping those areas connected makes it easier to trace faults, plan safe updates and make improvements based on how the live website is being used.
Additional launch support
Support for websites and systems started with AI
If your organisation has used AI tools to create a website, portal or working prototype, we can help with debugging, integrations, payments, content management, hosting and the deeper checks needed before real users depend on it.
