About Riot & Rebel

A little about our journey so far

Riot & Rebel is a pay monthly website provider for sole traders and small businesses. We make professional, affordable websites that give our customers a strong online presence, helping them reach more customers and grow their business.

Where we started

After toying with the idea of starting a web design agency for several years, we finally decided to take the leap in late 2018 (‘we’ being Alex Dixon and Louise Howells). Following several months of market research and conversations with business owners, we recognised that many sole traders and small businesses struggled to get a professional website that didn’t break the bank. We also found that this typically ended in three ways, either a poor quality website, an expensive website, or no website at all.

Narrowing our focus

Following on from our research, we made the decision to concentrate our efforts on sole traders and small businesses, which allowed us to focus our products and services around their needs. Ultimately, this translated into three pay monthly website plans, which offer customers complete flexibility and value for money, as well as allowing them to cancel at anytime.

The best of both worlds

To provide the best value for our customers, we’ve positioned ourselves to be as affordable and flexible as a “Do It Yourself” website service, but whilst still providing the quality and expertise of a premium web design agency. We feel this combination is ideal for sole traders and small businesses who don’t have loads of time or budget to spend, but still need a professional website.

What makes us different?

Aside from offering higher quality websites than our competitors, and typically at lower costs, we’ve been working in the creative and web industries for the past fifteen years. During this time we’ve held positions at every level within a digital agency, working on thousands of websites and helping customers achieve their goals and grow their businesses.

Our skills and experience is what sets us apart from others.
