About Porkenpence Ltd
We're a Chester-based web development company with over 15 years of hands-on experience, serving small businesses across Cheshire West and the wider North West. We know the local area, we understand local businesses, and we're genuinely invested in helping them succeed online.
We build professional, fast websites and web apps — without the big agency price tag or the faceless support experience. When you work with us, you deal with a real person from start to finish.
Everything we build runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) — the same infrastructure used by Netflix, Airbnb, and thousands of major companies. That means enterprise-grade reliability at a price that makes sense for small business.
We keep things simple: no jargon, no hidden costs, no locking you in. Just good work, delivered on time.
