About Ideavent

Built by a developer,
not a design agency.

15 years writing real code — not clicking through templates or installing plugins.

Work with us

Ideavent is a London-based web development service run by a developer with over 15 years of hands-on experience building custom web systems from scratch — including a live news platform that's been running reliably for over a decade.

Every site is hand-coded in PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript — no bloated plugins, no template frameworks. Just fast, reliable, maintainable code built specifically around your business.

The focus is on small local businesses that need a proper online presence without the complexity of managing it themselves. A great-looking site, a simple admin panel, and someone to keep it running every month.

Clean code

No frameworks, no bloat. Hand-written code that loads fast and stays maintainable for years.

Local & reachable

Based in London. Real responses within one working day — not a ticket system.

You own your content

A simple admin panel — update your own pages and info without calling anyone.

Long-term thinking

Built to last and scale. Not patched together to be replaced in 18 months.

What we do

Everything your
business needs online.

From a simple brochure site to a full custom business platform — built properly, hosted reliably, maintained ongoing.

Website Design & Build

Custom-coded, mobile-first websites. Fast loading, clean structure, SEO-ready — built specifically for your business, not adapted from a template.

Custom CMS & Admin Dashboard

A simple, intuitive admin panel so you can update your own content — opening hours, pages, photos, menus — without needing to call a developer.

Hosting & Maintenance

Your site hosted on fast, load-balanced infrastructure. Regular backups, security checks and uptime monitoring — all in a simple monthly fee.

Website Modernisation

Got an outdated site that's slow or broken on mobile? We rebuild it properly — keeping what works, fixing everything that doesn't.

Custom Business Systems

Bespoke web applications, dashboards, portals and management tools built around your workflow. When a spreadsheet isn't cutting it anymore.

Database Design & Optimisation

Clean, well-structured MySQL databases that scale. Starting fresh or untangling an existing mess — performance and sensible architecture throughout.

Pricing

Simple,
transparent pricing.

A one-time build fee to get your site live, then a monthly retainer covering everything.

No hidden extras. No annual licences. No "you'll need a plugin" surprises. What you see is what you pay.

How it works

From first message
to live site.

A clear process. No disappearing for weeks. No surprises at the end.

Step 01

Discovery call

A short conversation to understand your business, what you need, and what you want visitors to do when they land on your site.

Step 02

Design & plan

A clear layout and structure agreed before any code is written. No surprises, no scope creep, no disappearing for weeks at a time.

Step 03

Build & review

The site is built, you review it, feedback is incorporated. Regular updates throughout so nothing drifts from what you wanted.

Step 04

Launch & ongoing

Site goes live, you get your admin dashboard, and monthly maintenance begins. We handle everything from there.

Get in touch

your website.
