If you searched for web designers in Herne Bay, you have found a business that is genuinely local.
We work with businesses in Herne Bay, Whitstable, Canterbury and across Kent, offering clear advice and straightforward support without baffling jargon.
Unlike many businesses that target Herne Bay in search results, we really are based here in Herne Bay, Kent. That means you can work with a local web designer who understands the area, can meet in person if needed, and provides friendly, practical support.
Choosing the right web partner is about more than finding someone who can build a website. You need a team that understands how your website, search visibility and marketing all work together to help your business grow.
At Saxon Internet Solutions, we focus on building websites that are clear, fast, professional and designed to generate enquiries and sales. We also support businesses with SEO and practical online marketing advice, so you are not just getting a website - you are getting a more effective online presence. Here are a few reasons clients choose to work with us:
We do not just build websites. We help businesses make better use of the internet through web design, SEO, marketing and a range of supporting digital services to improve visibility, enquiries and overall performance.
We design websites that are professional, easy to use, fast loading and built to support your business goals. Whether you need a new site or want to improve an existing one, we focus on creating a website that gives visitors confidence and encourages them to take action.
SEO helps your business get found by the right people at the right time. We use ethical search engine optimisation techniques to improve visibility in Google, increase relevant traffic and give your website a better chance of turning visits into enquiries.
We also help businesses understand how changes in AI-driven search are affecting visibility, and can audit your site for opportunities to improve how your content appears across modern search experiences.
We do more than design websites and improve search rankings. We also help businesses with practical marketing support, from improving online visibility and lead generation to advising on the digital tools and tactics that can help them grow with confidence.
Our approach is straightforward and commercially focused. We look at what will make the biggest difference to your business and provide clear advice that helps you get better results from your website and online presence.
Saxon Internet Solutions was founded by Haydon Rouse in 1999, originally under the name Saxons Design. The business evolved into Saxon Internet Solutions to reflect the broader range of services offered beyond web design alone.
Haydon created his first website in 1996 and quickly began designing sites for businesses after his early work was noticed by a telecoms company in Surrey. Since then, he has helped a wide range of organisations promote themselves online and has built experience across web design, online marketing and business support.
He has also lectured on web design and marketing at Kent University and Canterbury College, teaching hundreds of people over the years, and has been interviewed on Radio Kent about internet-related topics.

We have worked with a wide variety of clients, including startups, SMEs, larger businesses, colleges, charities, retail shops and entrepreneurs. That experience helps us adapt our advice and recommendations to suit different sectors, goals and budgets.
Some clients come to us for a new website, others need help improving visibility in search, and some want broader digital guidance. In each case, the aim is the same: to help you get better results online in a way that makes sense for your business.
We believe digital support should be clear, honest and commercially useful. We give straightforward advice, deliver high-quality work, and focus on what will genuinely help your business move forward.
We aim to build long-term relationships with clients by being reliable, responsive and results-focused, giving businesses the confidence that their website and online marketing are in safe hands.
Very helpful and co-operative. Good quality work. Excellent value.
We are called Saxon, because of our location in Herne Bay is right next to the Saxon Shore Way. The Saxon Shore Way is a long-distance footpath that starts at Gravesend, Kent, and traces the coast of South-East England as it was in Roman times.
The ancient route passes Roman fort sites at Reculver, Richborough, Dover, and Lympne. It's about 163 miles in length. Our founder loves mixing tradition, history and modern elements together!
