What clients say.

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We have been using Shaun for our Comprehensive Service and Maintenance website. Shaun is the third company we had asked to carry out this work. I have to say that we at Arch Catering and Refrigeration Ltd are bowled over by his professionalism and understanding of the task. He took time to learn about the business always asking the right questions, instead of just asking for a photo and some text.

We are extremely happy with the site and would highly recommend Shaun as a person and service.

[05]  Frequently asked

Answers up front.

A few answers before we start — the full FAQ lives on its own page.

What does a website at Dower Digital cost?

Fixed price after a briefing call. Website builds start from £1,000; larger or complex website builds are scoped individually. No hourly billing, no hidden cost — you know the number before anyone starts working.

How long does a project take?

A focused website usually takes 4–6 weeks depending on scope, content readiness and feedback speed. A concrete timeline with milestones follows the briefing call.

Which technologies do you use?

Default stack: modern HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with React or Next.js where the project needs it. Every build is planned around speed, responsive behaviour, SEO/AEO foundations and maintainability.

Do you only work in Stevenage or UK-wide?

The studio is in Stevenage, Hertfordshire — projects run UK-wide, across Europe and internationally remote. On-site meetings in Stevenage are available by appointment; kickoffs and workshops can also take place at the client's office.

Who works on the project — a team or one person?

Shaun Dower — founder, developer and designer in one person. Every project is delivered directly by the founder, with a small number of parallel projects to safeguard quality.

Do you offer ongoing website support?

Yes. Monthly care plans cover hosting, updates, small changes, uptime checks and support. SEO retainers can be added when you want ongoing search growth after launch.

Can you build a booking or membership system?

Yes. I build custom booking and membership systems with customer accounts, payments and staff tools. Each system is scoped individually, with a fixed quote after discovery and ongoing support agreed separately. Explore booking & business systems.
