Where it began

A business that grew naturally

The story began in 2001, when Mike Saunders started working with his sister’s business, Natural Healing UK Ltd. The company organised mind-body-soul exhibitions and the Yoga Show, and Mike helped to build and maintain its main website and online directory.

Working closely with the exhibitors gave Mike an early understanding of what small businesses needed from their websites. Before long, many of them began asking him to design and manage websites for their own businesses.

Most of this work came through personal recommendations, and demand continued to grow. In 2006, Mike established Webspeed to provide professional website design, hosting and ongoing support to a wider range of clients.

What began by helping one business online has since developed into a small, experienced team that has supported more than 3,000 clients over the past 20 years.

A note from Mike

The technology changes. Good service doesn’t.

Although the technology has changed enormously since I started, the way I like to work hasn’t. I believe in being straightforward, doing things properly and making sure clients have someone they can come back to when they need help.

How we work

Experienced, straightforward and personal

We’ve always believed that good service comes from understanding the people and businesses we work with. That means giving honest advice, avoiding unnecessary complexity and being available long after a website launches.

Long-term thinking

We build websites and working relationships designed to last and develop alongside your business.

Practical advice

Clear recommendations based on what your business genuinely needs—not whatever happens to be fashionable.

Technology managed

We manage the hosting, updates, security and technical details behind your website.

People you can reach

Friendly support from a team that knows your website and understands your business.

Our team

A small team with broad experience

Webspeed is run by a close-knit team covering website design, development, project management, hosting, technical care and digital marketing.

Keeping the team small allows us to work closely together and provide a more personal service, while still having the experience needed to manage everything behind a successful website.
