WHO WE ARE
Brambla is a web design agency founded in Maidstone, Kent in 2023 by Sam Butcher and Harriet Butcher, now based in Devon. We design and build websites, brands, and marketing systems for small businesses across Devon, Cornwall, Kent, and London. No templates. No shortcuts. No surprises.
Born from a cocktail, built for real business.
START A PROJECTFounded in Devon. Built for Real Businesses.
Brambla started in 2023 in Maidstone, Kent, with a straightforward idea: small businesses deserve the same quality of web design and branding that bigger companies take for granted — without the agency price tag or the runaround. Sam handles strategy, development, and technical SEO. Harriet leads on brand identity, design direction, and client relationships.
We moved to Devon about six months ago and are now based in Northlew, a village near Okehampton on the edge of Dartmoor. Our clients span Devon, Cornwall, Kent, and London — and increasingly, businesses across the UK who find us through referrals or search. We work remotely as a default, but we are always happy to meet in person across Devon, Kent, and London.
The name? It started with our favourite cocktail — the Bramble. We swapped the ‘e’ for an ‘a’ to make it our own, inspired by how brands like Netflix turned simple words into something memorable. The name stuck, and so did the attitude behind it — helping businesses shake it til they make it. Bold, different, and built to enjoy.
The Full Picture, Not Just a Website
We are a web design studio, but that only tells part of the story. Most of our clients come to us for a website and stay for everything else. We handle branding and logo design, custom website builds, a 7 Day Website service for businesses that need to move fast, ongoing SEO Care to drive organic traffic, and SiteCare for hosting, security, and maintenance after launch.
Every site is custom-built on a modern stack — TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind. No WordPress themes, no page builders, no bloated plugins. We use AI tools (Anthropic's Claude among them) to accelerate build, research, and repetitive code; every decision, every design choice, and every line is directed and reviewed by a human. That's how we keep quality high and offer free one-page sites on LIVE30 that would otherwise be uneconomic to build. The result is a website that loads fast, ranks well, and does not need constant patching. Our pricing is published on every service page because we think you should know what something costs before you pick up the phone.
How We Build
Every Brambla website is custom-built on a modern stack. We don't use WordPress themes, page builders, or templates. We do use AI tools — including Anthropic's Claude — the same way any modern developer uses auto-complete: as acceleration, not substitution.
We're open about this because it's the reason you pay less. AI-accelerated development is what lets us offer a free LIVE30 build, a 7 Day Website at £1,200, and agency-level quality across 200+ pages — pricing that a traditional agency at traditional rates simply can't match.
Our sites run on a custom 113-component design system we built ourselves. Every project composes it to taste. Every decision, every design, every line is still directed and reviewed by a human. You talk to the people building your project.

Trusted by Businesses Across the UK
From ongoing partnerships to standalone projects, we work with businesses that value quality and long term thinking.
Office Freedom
Our longest-standing client. We provide continuous development and design support for Office Freedom, averaging around 30 hours a week — covering their digital platform, design updates, and ongoing improvements.
Ongoing partnership since 2023
We also work with clients including BGL, Flex, RNK Rocket, and Markerstudy. Each project is different, but the approach is always the same: understand the business first, then build something that actually works.
We are a small team by choice. That means you work directly with the people who design and build your project — not account managers passing messages between departments. When you call Brambla, you speak to Sam or Harriet.
Our Values
Five principles that shape every project we take on.
Clarity over complexity
We keep things simple, structured, and easy to understand. If we cannot explain it plainly, we have not thought it through.
Design with purpose
Every layout decision has a reason behind it. We design to serve the business goal, not to win style points.
Long term thinking
We build brands and websites that last. Quick fixes create long term problems, so we do not offer them.
Partnership, not transactions
We stay with clients long after launch. Most of our work comes from ongoing relationships, not one-off projects.
Honesty and transparency
Clear pricing, clear timelines, clear communication. No surprises.

- Fast, modern development built to perform
- Published pricing on every service page

We work as a long term creative partner, not a build-and-disappear agency. That means we invest time in understanding your business, your customers, and your commercial goals before we design a single page.
From the first conversation through to ongoing SiteCare and SEO, we are with you at every stage. Clients like Office Freedom and RNK Rocket have worked with us across multiple projects — that repeat trust is the metric we care about most.
