Web development in Cambridge, built for speed, stability and change.

Red Web provides web development in Cambridge for businesses, schools, trusts and research organisations that need reliable, maintainable websites. We pick the right technology for each project rather than forcing every site into the same mould.

For content-managed websites, WordPress development in Cambridge is still our default. It gives clients proper control over content and stays flexible as the site grows. For performance-critical sites, specialist landing pages and custom web applications, we reach for Astro and React.

We also build the awkward bits that off-the-shelf themes and page builders tend to dodge: third-party integrations, tailored content models, campaign landing pages, school and trust site rollouts, research or clinical trial websites, and e-commerce features that need more than a plugin switched on.

Every site is built on clean, maintainable code. Version control, responsive design, cross-browser testing, performance and accessibility checks are standard. The site we hand over today should still be easy to extend, host and look after in five years' time.

What We Build

  • Business Websites: Professional, responsive sites that represent your brand and convert visitors into enquiries. Built on WordPress or Astro depending on your needs.
  • E-commerce: Online stores using WooCommerce or custom solutions, with secure payment processing and stock management.
  • Web Applications: Custom React apps for businesses that need more than a standard website, from booking systems to client portals.
  • Landing Pages: Focused, high-converting pages built to support marketing campaigns and drive specific actions.
  • AI-Augmented Builds: Every project runs on our AI-native workflow. We use Claude, GitHub Copilot and our own automation to plan, code and review faster, with every line still signed off by a senior developer.

AI-Native, Human-Led

AI is a real part of how we work, not a marketing slogan. It helps us scope projects more thoroughly, draft cleaner code, refactor older sites faster and run tougher code reviews. The strategy, the taste and the accountability still belong to our team. You get quicker turnarounds and sharper code, delivered by the same people you would meet in person.

Why Work With a Cambridge Developer?

Working with a Cambridge web developer means real accountability. We are based in Cambridge, and our clients can meet us face-to-face when needed. We have been building websites since 2004 and have worked with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to multinational organisations. That breadth of experience means we understand the practical challenges businesses face online and can recommend solutions that actually work.

Web Development That Stays Maintainable

A strong build is not just about launch day. We structure WordPress, Astro and React projects so they are easy to update, easy to host and easy to extend later. That matters if your site needs new landing pages, integrations, content changes or long-term SEO work after it goes live.

Web Design and Development Together

Most successful projects need design and development working together from the start. Our web design in Cambridge work focuses on messaging, trust and conversion, while this development process makes the finished site fast, secure and easy to maintain.

Web Development Pricing

Every project is scoped individually, so we provide tailored quotes based on your specific requirements. Whether you need a WordPress site, a custom React application, or an e-commerce store, we offer competitively priced development packages. Contact us for a free consultation and quote.

Common Questions

Do you use AI to build websites?
Yes. Tools like Claude and GitHub Copilot are part of how we work every day, alongside our own automation. They help us scope projects faster, write and review code more consistently, and ship more in a sprint than we used to in a quarter. Strategy, architecture and the final sign-off still come from our senior developers.
Will AI-assisted development affect the quality of my website?
Used well, it raises the floor on quality, not the other way round. Every line we ship is reviewed by a senior developer, tested across browsers and devices, and held to the same standards we have used for 20 years. The craftsmanship is the same. The turnaround is just shorter and the testing more thorough.
What technologies do you use for web development?
WordPress for content-managed sites, React with Astro for performance-critical sites and web applications. AI tooling (Claude, GitHub Copilot, our own scripts) sits across all of it, speeding up scoping and code review. We pick the right stack for each project rather than forcing every site into the same framework.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes, we build online stores using WooCommerce or custom solutions, with secure payment processing and stock management. We also build custom web applications including booking systems and client portals.
Why should I choose a Cambridge-based web developer?
Working with a local developer means real accountability. We are based in Cambridge and our clients can meet us face-to-face when needed. We have been building websites since 2004 and have worked with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to multinational organisations.
Can you integrate third-party tools like booking systems or CRMs?
Yes, we regularly integrate third-party systems into websites we build. This includes booking engines, CRMs, payment gateways, email marketing platforms, and more. We can advise on the best integrations for your business needs.
How much does web development cost in Cambridge?
Costs depend on the complexity and scope of your project. We provide tailored quotes for every project, whether it is a simple WordPress site or a custom React web application. Contact us for a free consultation and quote.
