Websites for Cambridge businesses
Cambridge sits at the centre of the cluster known as Silicon Fen. The University of Cambridge has spun out hundreds of companies, Arm has its headquarters here, and the science clusters are easy to map: Cambridge Science Park, opened by Trinity College in 1970 as the first in the UK; St John's Innovation Centre; the Cambridge Biomedical Campus around Addenbrooke's, home to AstraZeneca's global headquarters; and, south of the city, Granta Park and the Babraham Research Campus.
Young science and tech companies have a common website problem. The science is world class, but the site was put together quickly by a founder, says too much in jargon and too little about what the company actually does. Investors, partners and recruits all check the website before a meeting. A good start-up website here explains the problem, the approach and the team in plain English, has a careers page, a news section for funding and partnership updates, and loads quickly.
- University spin-outs and deep tech start-ups: clear explainer pages, team profiles, careers and news.
- Life sciences and biotech firms: pipeline or platform pages written for both specialists and investors.
- Consultancies and professional services: service pages and case-style content without client names unless approved.
- Independent shops, cafés and restaurants in the city centre and on Mill Road: menus, booking and click-and-collect.
- Language schools, tutors and accommodation providers: course pages and enquiry forms.
Search competition in Cambridge is high for hospitality, tutoring and professional services, and the city has plenty of agencies. For tech firms, search ranking matters less than credibility, accessibility and clarity. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as a target and keep pages lean, because university and NHS partners increasingly expect accessible websites.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build websites for Cambridge spin-outs and start-ups?
Yes. We build lean, fast sites that explain complex science or technology in plain English, with team, careers and news pages. Most start-ups suit our Business package from £500 + VAT, which includes copywriting so the site reads clearly for investors and recruits.
Do you work with Cambridge businesses remotely?
Yes. dijitul is based in Mansfield and we run Cambridge projects by video call, shared previews and email. That suits busy founders, because feedback can happen whenever suits you, and you sign off each stage before we move on.
Do you cover Ely, Huntingdon and the science parks around Cambridge?
Yes. We work with businesses across Cambridgeshire, including Ely, Huntingdon, St Neots, Saffron Walden and the parks at Granta and Babraham. The cost and the steps do not change with location.
Can our website be accessible for university and NHS partners?
Yes. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as a target, with proper headings, colour contrast, keyboard access, labelled forms and alt text, and we can write an accessibility statement for you. It is part of every build, not an extra.
