Web Development in Gravesend, Kent
We are not a London agency with a Gravesend postcode. We are actually here: Suites 6 & 7, Windmill Street, DA12. PHP, Laravel, CodeIgniter, WordPress, Shopify, and custom software, built by the same team that has been working from this town since 2008.

The honest case for using a Gravesend developer
Rob, who co-founded Dev Partners, grew up in Northfleet. Our office has been in Gravesend town centre since 2008, Suites 6 and 7, Windmill Street. We are not a Kent office of a London agency. We are not a developer who put "Gravesend" in their SEO and works from a bedroom in Dartford. We are actually here.
That matters for businesses in Gravesend and the surrounding area because it means we are available to meet in person whenever that is useful, we understand the local commercial environment, and we are genuinely invested in the businesses in this town. When something goes wrong on a Friday afternoon, you reach Rob or Jason directly.
It also matters for businesses that are not in Gravesend but are looking at London agencies and wondering why the quotes are so high. We are 30 minutes from central London on the High Speed 1 line. We work with clients at the same level as London agencies: Telegraph Media Group, Hearst Communications, AX Paris, Motel Rocks. The difference is not the quality of the work. It is what you pay for it.

eCommerce migrationsHow we build websites that actually work
The same straightforward process whether you are a Gravesend business round the corner or a client on the other side of the country.
Take a proper look
We do not dive straight into code. We sit down with you, look at what you have got, and work out what is actually slowing you down. Old systems, clunky websites, endless spreadsheets, we have seen it all and we know what to do about it.
Design without the fluff
We design a solution that fits. No gimmicks, no over-engineering. Something clean, scalable, and built around the way your business actually runs. You see what we are planning before anything is built.
Build it properly
Laravel, CodeIgniter, WordPress, Shopify, or pure PHP, the right tool for the project. Built by Rob and Jason's team here in Gravesend. Every line of code written in-house. No outsourcing, no mystery freelancers.
Launch without the drama
We do not disappear when the coding is done. We help you launch, train your team, and stay available after go-live. If something needs tweaking, you will get Rob or Jason on the phone, not a ticket number number.
London-calibre clients. Gravesend rates.
Telegraph Media Group, Hearst Communications, AX Paris, Motel Rocks, CDS Global
These are the kind of clients that typically work with large London agencies. They work with us because the quality of the development is the same and the cost is not. When you are based in Gravesend rather than Soho, your overheads are lower and that difference comes back to the client.
We have been building and maintaining systems for CDS Global for years. We built custom software for Telegraph Media Group and Hearst. We are Shopify Select Partners who migrated and built bespoke systems for AX Paris and Motel Rocks. These are not footnotes. They are the actual work, done from a desk on Windmill Street.
- Telegraph Media Group: custom operational software for one of the UK's best-known media businesses
- Hearst Communications: bespoke systems development for the global publishing group
- CDS Global: multi-year engagement, business-critical operational software
- AX Paris: bespoke Shopify ERP-style back-office and warehouse management. Case study.
- Motel Rocks: Shopify and Oracle NetSuite integration with 3PL automation. Case study.
- Chi Chi London, Sara Miller: Magento to Shopify migrations for high-volume fashion brands
What our clients say
20 clients. A few of their words.
A well-rounded team, ensuring a full suite of expertise & resource is always available. CDS Global have seen the successful completion of major projects over the years where Dev Partners' ability to grasp the underlying business needs to provide a future-proof solution has been invaluable.
We have worked with Jason & his team to develop our Shopify store, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The design is clean, modern, and perfectly aligned with our brand identity, while the build is fast, responsive, and easy to manage on the backend. They clearly understood our vision and delivered a store we're genuinely proud of. Highly recommend to any brand looking for a top-quality Shopify partner.
After ongoing issues and delays with our previous developers, we brought in Rob & Jason at Dev Partners to take over all our websites and bespoke software. What a breath of fresh air, fully focused, excellent pre-launch designs and clear communication throughout. Highly recommended.
BPC Energy Ltd turned to Dev Partners for a complete turnkey solution, and they exceeded our expectations. The team handled everything from project management to development and support with real care and attention. They understood what we were aiming for, stayed on top of every detail, and always delivered on schedule with excellent quality.
Working with Dev Partners to redesign and modernise our WMS system: the whole process has been thoroughly professional from the outset and a delight to work with. Cannot recommend enough.
Great agency. Have used Dev Partners for several years and they have built 20+ sites for us, in addition to taking on our legacy websites, upgrading and maintaining. Easy to work with and some great practical ideas to improve our digital offerings.
Jones Hire have been working with Dev Partners on several projects, which have been very successful. They linked our catering database to a new improved website so clients can easily place and update orders, created a custom warehouse picking app to fulfil all our challenging requirements, and are currently developing a custom transport app to streamline our loading and delivery process.
We have been trying to reinvent our website for over 5 years, trying to make it convert and failing each time. Spoke to Rob at Dev Partners, the team helped create our new site and the improvement was instant.
We have been working with Rob and the team for about 10 years now. Dev Partners helped us build a completely bespoke CRM from scratch which manages our daily business and is always well maintained. We have been able to use the system and roll it out in our new franchise branches.
We collaborated with Dev Partners on the front end of a fairly complex telemarketing platform. Rob and Jason took the time to properly understand the moving parts, asked the right questions, and delivered a clean, intuitive interface that's made the system far easier for our team to use.
I have been working with the team at Dev Partners for the last 3 years and we have always been impressed with the speed in which they act on things for us, along with the honest open communication. The team are a valuable and vital part of our supply chain.
We've had a program for our business in the electronic security sector that Dev Partners developed and keep up to date. They've never let us down, always there when needed. Thanks Rob and the team.
Dev Partners have been working with us for just over 2 years. They have significantly upgraded and redesigned our existing web platforms, and always deliver a first class service.
Dev Partners helped us build an event website. The team were very knowledgeable, easy to work with and quick to deliver a high quality product.
Working with Dev Partners has been an exceptional experience. Their team is highly skilled, professional, and committed to delivering results. What truly sets them apart is their communication and transparency; we always felt informed, supported, and confident.
We've worked with Dev Partners a few times to support us on bespoke web build tasks. They're very easy to work with, approachable, and explain the detail in a way that's understandable. A great partner for technical issues at sensible prices.
Excellent customer service backed up with solid experience. As a media business we have had five websites built by Dev Partners. I would certainly recommend them.
Found Dev Partners and they were great, nothing too much trouble. They managed to help us with integrating our old existing system with Shopify.
I've worked with Rob and his team off and on for many years and have always found them to be professional, knowledgeable, and best of all, they listen to their clients and deliver what is required.
We have worked with Dev Partners for 7 years and can highly recommend them for their expertise and excellent customer service.
Questions about Dev Partners in Gravesend
The questions we get most from Gravesend businesses and from clients considering us against London agencies.
Yes. We have been based in Gravesend since we were founded in 2008. Our office is at Suites 6 and 7, 27-28 Windmill Street, DA12 1AS. Rob, who co-founded the company, grew up in Northfleet. We are not a London agency with a virtual Gravesend address. We are actually here and have been for 17 years.
We are 30 minutes from central London by train and work with clients at the same level as London agencies, including Telegraph Media Group and Hearst Communications. The difference is cost: London agencies carry London overheads and those costs come back to you in the invoice. We price at a level that reflects our actual costs, not a W1 address.
The work is the same. You also get direct access to the founders, which most London agencies of comparable client calibre do not offer.

Our core stack is PHP on the LAMP foundation, using Laravel for complex applications, CodeIgniter for lean builds, and WordPress for content-driven sites.
