We Build Websites That
Help Businesses Grow
Founded in Kidderminster in 2022, Aposlo Studios is a UK web design agency built around one idea: every small business and tradesperson deserves a professional online presence — without the upfront cost or long-term lock-in.
From Side Project to Studio
How two school mates from the West Midlands built a web design agency that puts small businesses first.
Aposlo Studios started in 2022 when Charlie Thompson, a web developer with a background in visual effects, noticed the same problem everywhere he looked: local tradespeople and small business owners across the UK were paying thousands of pounds upfront for websites that looked outdated within a year — or worse, they had no website at all.
Charlie teamed up with Kyran Gwilt, a lifelong friend with a sharp eye for business strategy and client management. Together, they created a model that flips traditional web design on its head: we build your website for free, then keep it hosted, maintained, and updated from just £24.99 per month — with no contract tying you in.
Based in Kidderminster in the West Midlands, we have worked with plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, cleaning companies, beauty salons, restaurants, and dozens of other local businesses across the UK. Every single one of our 48 Google reviews is five stars — not because we ask for favours, but because we genuinely care about getting it right.
We are not a faceless agency. When you work with Aposlo Studios, you speak directly to the people who design and build your site. Charlie handles every line of code and pixel of design. Kyran makes sure projects run smoothly and that you are always kept in the loop. That personal touch is something we will never compromise on as we grow.

What We Stand For
These are not corporate slogans. They are the principles we follow on every single project.
Honesty First
No hidden fees, no jargon, no upselling. We tell you exactly what you need and what it costs. Our pricing page says £24.99/month and that is what you pay — nothing more unless you ask for extras.
Speed That Matters
Most of our websites go live within five working days. We know that for a tradesperson, every day without a website is a day of missed enquiries. Fast turnaround is not a luxury — it is essential.
Design With Purpose
Every site we build is custom-designed for the specific business it represents. We never use generic templates. Your website should look and feel like your brand, not like a thousand other sites.
No Lock-In, Ever
We do not believe in contracts. You stay because the service is worth it, not because you are trapped. If you ever want to leave, we will even help you migrate your content to another provider.
Built Properly
Charlie hand-codes every website rather than relying on bloated page builders. That means faster load times, better search rankings, and a site that actually performs — not one held together with plugins.
Personal Service
You will never be passed to a junior or an outsourced team. When you message us, you are speaking to Charlie or Kyran directly. We treat your business the way we would want ours treated.
The People Behind Your Website
Two founders, one shared mission: helping UK businesses get online properly.
Charlie Thompson
Founder & Director
Charlie is the creative and technical force behind every Aposlo Studios website. With a background in visual effects (VFX) and years of hands-on web development experience, he brings a cinematic eye for design paired with the coding skills to bring it to life. He does not use off-the-shelf templates — every site is hand-built to match the client's brand, industry, and goals.
Charlie handles all web design, front-end and back-end development, search engine optimisation, and direct client communication. His approach is simple: listen to what the client needs, build something that exceeds their expectations, and deliver it fast. That philosophy has earned Aposlo Studios a perfect five-star record on Google.
When he is not designing websites, Charlie is exploring new web technologies, experimenting with motion graphics, or working on side projects that push his creative boundaries. His passion for the craft shows in every pixel.
Kyran Gwilt
Co-Founder
Kyran is the operational backbone of Aposlo Studios. While Charlie focuses on building, Kyran ensures the business runs smoothly and every client has a first-class experience from the initial enquiry right through to launch and beyond. He manages project timelines, handles onboarding, and is usually the first person you will speak to when you get in touch.
His strengths lie in business strategy, client relationship management, and identifying opportunities for growth. Kyran is the reason Aposlo Studios can scale while keeping that personal, small-team feel. He genuinely cares about the success of every business we work with — not just the website we deliver, but the results it generates.
Charlie and Kyran have known each other since school, and that long-standing trust translates directly into how they run the business. There is no corporate hierarchy or red tape — just two people who are passionate about delivering great work for UK businesses.
What Makes Us Different
We built Aposlo Studios to fix everything we thought was wrong with the web design industry.
Free Website Build
Most agencies charge £1,000 to £5,000 upfront before you see a single page. We build your entire website at no cost. You only start paying once it is live and you are happy with it.
Monthly Plans from £24.99
Our monthly fee covers hosting, SSL security, ongoing maintenance, content updates, and technical support. There are no surprise invoices and no hidden extras.
No Contracts or Lock-In
Cancel whenever you want. We will even help export your content and redirect your domain. We earn your business each month rather than trapping you with a contract.
Hand-Coded, Not Template-Based
Charlie builds every site from scratch using modern web technologies. That means your website loads faster, ranks higher on Google, and stands out from competitors using drag-and-drop builders.
Direct Communication
No support tickets, no chatbots, no waiting in a queue. You message us directly on WhatsApp, email, or phone. We typically respond within hours, not days.
Ongoing SEO and Updates
Your website is not a set-and-forget project. We continuously optimise it for search engines, update content when you need changes, and ensure it stays fast and secure month after month.
Professional Web Design for UK Small Businesses
Aposlo Studios Ltd is a professional web design agency based in Kidderminster, West Midlands. We specialise in building high-performance, custom-designed websites for small businesses and tradespeople throughout the United Kingdom. Since our founding in 2022, we have helped more than 50 businesses establish a strong online presence — earning 48 five-star Google reviews in the process.
Our approach is straightforward. We build your website completely free of charge. There is no upfront design fee, no deposit, and no hidden cost. Once your site is live and you are satisfied with the result, you pay a simple monthly fee starting from just £24.99. That fee covers everything: hosting, SSL security certificates, ongoing maintenance, content updates whenever you need them, and dedicated technical support from the people who actually built your site.
Unlike many web design agencies that rely on WordPress templates or drag-and-drop page builders, every Aposlo Studios website is hand-coded by our founder Charlie Thompson. Charlie has a background in visual effects and front-end development, and he brings that attention to detail to every project. The result is websites that load significantly faster than template-built alternatives, score higher on Google PageSpeed Insights, and provide a noticeably better user experience for your visitors.
We work with a wide range of industries including plumbing, electrical, building and construction, landscaping, cleaning services, beauty and aesthetics, food and hospitality, property maintenance, and many more. Whether you are a sole trader just starting out or an established business looking to modernise your online presence, we have a plan that fits. You can explore examples of our work on our portfolio page.
One of the things our clients appreciate most is the personal level of service. When you contact Aposlo Studios, you speak directly to Charlie or Kyran — the people who run the company and build the websites. There is no call centre, no ticket system, and no waiting days for a response. Most enquiries are answered within a few hours, and many clients communicate with us via WhatsApp for maximum convenience.
Search engine optimisation is built into every website we create. We handle technical SEO — including site speed, mobile responsiveness, structured data, meta tags, and crawlability — as standard. For clients who want to go further, our higher-tier plans include ongoing SEO work such as content creation, local search optimisation, and Google Business Profile management. You can learn more about our SEO services and other offerings on our services page.
We also publish regular articles on our blog covering topics like website design best practices, local SEO tips for tradespeople, and digital marketing advice for small business owners. These guides are written by our team based on real experience working with UK businesses — not recycled content from generic marketing blogs.
