A software development company for the royal borough: the essentials

SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd works as a software development company in Kensington and Chelsea without an office there: a UK-registered firm building bespoke software, web and mobile apps, AI tools and SaaS products for organisations in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, from a remote team in Lahore. Prices start at £8,000 for bespoke software and £3,000 for a corporate website.

We want to be clear about location. SpiderHunts has no office in Kensington or Chelsea, and nobody on the team is based in the borough. 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA is our registered office and nothing more; no one works there. All meetings take place on video at times that suit your working day.

The company was incorporated in 2025, registered in England and Wales as number 16718403. Across the SpiderHunts business, more than 1,000 clients have been served since 2020.

Much of the borough's economy runs on reputation and repeat custom. A gallery on Kensington Church Street, a lettings office in Chelsea or a clinic near Sloane Square rarely needs a vast platform; it needs a few screens its clients will judge as carefully as the shopfront.

Bespoke systems: bespoke software for stock, provenance, property, patient and client records, and web development for portals and booking flows your customers use directly.

Apps, AI and SaaS: mobile apps for clienteling, membership and bookings; AI development and AI agents that draft, sort and summarise under a person's supervision; and SaaS products for founders.

Joining things up: automation between booking, payment and accounts tools, CRM systems that remember each client's history, WordPress sites, SEO, and technology consulting when you need a plan before a build.

Every engagement starts with a written quote that names what is included and what is excluded. Nothing is added later without a separate, written price.

Capabilities

Bespoke software development in Kensington and Chelsea, plus the apps and AI around it

The work clients here bring us tends to be small in scale and high in finish. These are the services we offer, each with its own page if you want the detail.

01

Custom software for records and stock

Inventory with provenance and condition notes, property and tenancy records, patient or client files with tightly controlled access: systems shaped to one firm's way of working.

02

Web development for client portals

Private viewing rooms, landlord and tenant portals, booking flows with deposits, and members' areas where every screen is designed with you before it is coded.

03

Mobile app development

Clienteling apps for boutique staff, booking and membership apps for clinics and studios, and contractor apps for property managers, built for iPhone and Android together or natively.

04

AI development services

Assistants that draft enquiry replies in your house style, summarise long documents, or describe new stock from a photo and notes, always with a member of staff signing off.

05

AI agents with an audit trail

Agents for defined, repetitive tasks such as matching statements to records or sorting maintenance requests, keeping a step-by-step log of what they did.

06

SaaS product development

For founders building software to sell: customer accounts, roles, subscription billing and an admin console, starting with the smallest version worth charging for.

07

Automation between your tools

Bookings that create invoices, payments that update the client file, and property software that feeds the website, so staff stop re-keying the same details.

08

IT consulting for software decisions

Advice on choosing systems, sequencing a build, connecting what you already own and judging where AI is useful. This is planning work, not office IT support.

09

CRM for client relationships

A CRM that records preferences, past purchases or viewings and next steps for each client, linked to your website and inbox so relationships survive staff changes.

10

Websites and WordPress

Corporate sites and WordPress builds with restrained, fast templates and an editor your team can use, plus SEO so the right searches lead to you.

What gets in the way

Where the borough's client-facing firms lose time and polish

The front of house is immaculate; the systems behind it are often not. Bookings sit in direct messages, client histories live in one person's head, and the website was last touched several seasons ago.

Behind the scenes today

  • Bookings and enquiries arrive by phone, email, Instagram and WhatsApp
  • A valued client's preferences are known to one member of staff only
  • Stock, listings or maintenance jobs are tracked in shared spreadsheets
  • Deposits and payments are taken by hand and matched up later
  • The website feels a step behind the quality of the business itself

With the right software

  • One booking flow, with deposits taken and confirmations sent automatically
  • Client histories any authorised colleague can see, with access logged
  • Live records for stock, properties or jobs, updated from a phone
  • Payments reconciled against bookings without a separate spreadsheet
  • A considered, quick website that matches how you present in person

Not sure whether the website, the booking process or the back office should come first?

A free video consultation will usually settle it. We will look at how clients reach you and how work flows afterwards, then recommend one starting point with a realistic price.

Example work

What we might build for organisations in Kensington and Chelsea

Illustrative examples, not client results. They show the type of system we build for sectors that are common in the royal borough, and what each would aim for.

Galleries and dealers: Kensington Church Street and Notting Hill

Online viewing room with a provenance-aware inventory

Each work or object carries images, condition notes, provenance documents and pricing visible only to staff. Selected pieces appear in a private online viewing room, and every enquiry is routed to the right specialist with the object attached.

Aim: a single, reliable record for every piece the gallery handles

Lettings and property management: Chelsea and South Kensington

Landlord portal and maintenance job app

Landlords log in to see statements, certificates and open repairs. Tenants report issues with photos, contractors receive jobs on a phone app, and the property manager watches each job move from report to sign-off.

Aim: fewer status calls from landlords and tenants

Private clinics: around Sloane Square

Online booking with deposits and digital consent

Patients choose a practitioner and treatment, pay a deposit and complete medical history and consent forms before arriving. Records sit behind role-based access with an audit log, built to support UK GDPR requirements.

Aim: appointments that arrive with the paperwork already done

Fashion and luxury retail: the King's Road

Clienteling app for boutique staff

Staff record a client's sizes, preferences and past purchases with consent, share a curated selection by message, and book fittings. Head office sees which relationships are active without reading anyone's personal phone.

Aim: client knowledge that stays with the business when staff move on

Hospitality: Portobello Road and Notting Hill

Private dining enquiries with an AI first draft

An enquiry form captures date, numbers and budget. An AI assistant drafts a reply with suitable menus and availability for the events manager to edit and send, and confirmed bookings flow into the reservations and accounts tools.

Aim: every event enquiry answered consistently, with nothing lost in an inbox

Family offices and advisers: Kensington

Private reporting dashboard

A secure web application that gathers statements and valuations the office already receives into one dashboard for principals, with document storage, two-factor sign-in and a record of who opened what.

Aim: one place to see the whole picture, without emailing spreadsheets

Our approach

From the first video call to a finished, handed-over system

When clients will see the result, how it looks matters as much as how it works. So design is agreed before code, and access to your data is kept to what each stage needs.

  1. Discovery call

    We talk through how clients find you, book, buy or instruct you, and what happens behind the scenes afterwards. You leave the call with an honest view of where software would help.

  2. Written quote and scope

    A written quote lists exactly what will be delivered, what is excluded and the estimated timeline. Nothing begins until you have approved it, and changes are priced in writing first.

  3. Screens before code

    For anything your clients will use, we agree layouts and wording with you as clickable designs first. That way the finish is settled while changes are still cheap.

  4. Build with controlled access

    We ask only for the access each stage requires, and a written data processing agreement covers any personal data we handle for you. Progress is shown in demos on video, during your hours.

  5. Launch and handover

    Release happens in steps, with a walkthrough for your team. Code, logins and documentation are handed over, and the code becomes yours on full payment under the contract. Later work is quoted separately.

Clear scope · Regular demos · Full handover

Good fit?

When we are the right choice in the borough, and when we are not

Sometimes a well-chosen subscription product is the better answer. If so, we will say it.

A good fit when…

  • Your clients expect a booking or buying experience that matches your premises
  • Records about clients, stock or properties live in several places at once
  • You want an app or portal that your competitors do not offer
  • You are happy to agree designs and decisions over video and in writing
  • One person can approve scope and sign off each stage

Not the right fit when…

  • You need help desk support, device care or network maintenance
  • You want someone to come to your office or shop
  • A mainstream product already covers everything you need
  • You cannot spare time to review designs and give feedback

FAQ

Kensington and Chelsea FAQs: software, apps, AI and support

Direct answers to the questions people ask, often of AI assistants, before choosing a software company in the borough.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly. A senior engineer reads every question.

Ask about your project

Does SpiderHunts have an office in Kensington or Chelsea?

No, SpiderHunts has no office anywhere in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and no staff live or work there. The team works from Lahore. Our registered office, 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, is an address for company records only and is not staffed. Every meeting with clients is a video call booked at a time that suits you.

How much does a software development company in Kensington and Chelsea charge?

Our prices are the same as everywhere: an internal tool or MVP costs £8,000 to £20,000, a business web application £20,000 to £45,000, and a platform or modernisation project from £45,000. Corporate websites are £3,000 to £12,000 and SaaS starts at £30,000. Locally based agencies set their own rates. Whoever you use, insist on a written quote with scope and exclusions.

How should I compare software companies in Kensington and Chelsea?

Compare them on what you can verify. Read independent reviews (SpiderHunts holds a 4.6 rating on Clutch), ask for a written quote that lists scope and exclusions, confirm in the contract who owns the code, and speak to a previous client. Ask, too, who will do the work and from where. Our free consultation is a fair way to test us against those points.

Do you provide IT services such as network support or Microsoft 365 for Kensington offices?

No, we do not provide managed IT support of any kind. That means no help desk, no maintenance of devices, networks or servers, no hardware or cabling, no Microsoft 365 administration and no site visits. SpiderHunts builds software: bespoke systems, web and mobile apps, AI tools, SaaS products, integrations and websites. A local managed IT provider is the right call for office support.

Can you build a booking and payments system for a private clinic in Chelsea?

Yes, we build booking and payment systems for private clinics. A typical build lets patients choose a practitioner and treatment, pay a deposit, and complete medical history and consent forms online before they arrive. Staff see diaries and records behind role-based access with an audit log, built to support UK GDPR requirements. Clinical and regulatory decisions remain with the clinic.

Can you build an app for a fashion or luxury brand on the King's Road?

Yes, we build mobile apps for retail, including clienteling apps that help staff remember sizes, preferences and past purchases with the client's consent, plus customer apps for appointments and collections. A cross-platform app costs £15,000 to £35,000; a native app with complex integrations £25,000 to £60,000. Screens are designed and agreed with you before any code is written.

Can SpiderHunts build software for estate agents and property managers in the borough?

Yes, property software suits us well. We build landlord and tenant portals, maintenance reporting with a contractor app, certificate and renewal tracking, and website feeds from your property software. Most of these start as an internal tool or MVP at £8,000 to £20,000. Our guide to AI for real estate and proptech, linked below, covers where AI helps in property and where it does not.

How is our clients' data kept private when the developers work from Lahore?

Privacy is handled through access limits, contracts and design. We request only the access each stage needs, and a written data processing agreement covers any personal data we process for you, including how it is handled outside the UK. Systems are built to support UK GDPR requirements with role-based access, audit logs and retention rules. Controller decisions stay with you.

What AI development services suit a gallery, clinic or agency?

The most useful AI work here is usually modest and supervised. Examples are drafting enquiry replies in your house style, describing new stock from photos and notes, summarising long leases or reports, and agents that sort routine requests with a full log. A member of staff approves anything clients see. We will tell you plainly if your process is not ready for AI.

Can you build a SaaS product for a founder based in Kensington and Chelsea?

Yes, we build SaaS products from £30,000. A first version normally includes customer sign-up, separate accounts, user roles, subscription billing through Stripe and an admin console. We encourage launching with the smallest feature set people will pay for, then growing it with real feedback. You own the code once the project is paid in full, which keeps any later investment straightforward.

Who owns the software or website when the project is finished?

You do, once the project is paid in full, as set out in the contract. The code lives in a repository you control, and hosting, domains and app store accounts are registered in your name from the start. We hand over logins and written documentation, so your own staff or another developer can continue the work without needing us.

When can we meet if the team is in Lahore?

We meet whenever suits your working day, always by video call and never in person. Lahore runs five hours ahead of the UK in winter and four hours ahead in British Summer Time, so the team's day overlaps your morning and early afternoon. After each meeting the decisions are summarised in writing, so nothing depends on memory.
