Website development in Kyiv

Website development in Kyiv

We measured 35 small-business sites in Kyiv before writing this page. Most of them are slow, and two thirds cannot tell their owner where a single client came from. That is what we fix.

Our own measurement, September 2026: beauty salons, dental practices, renovation firms and auto services in Kyiv.

What we found

Kyiv small business runs on WordPress and Tilda — and pays for it in seconds

A third of the sites we measured sit on WordPress, usually with a bought theme and a stack of plugins nobody has updated. Another quarter are on Tilda. Both are fine until the phone becomes the main device — and in Kyiv it long since has.

What they are built on

  • WordPress12
  • Tilda9
  • Wix7
  • Weblium5

Who we measured

  • 14 beauty salons — the most competitive niche in the city, and the slowest sites in our sample
  • 10 dental practices, where one new patient is worth more than the whole site cost
  • 6 renovation companies, all of them relying on a portfolio that takes seconds to appear
  • 5 auto services, where the question is always the same: is there a slot tomorrow
Proof

What we build for businesses like these

Zapys24 is a booking platform used by salons, auto services and clinics. ORTHOSTORE is an online store for a professional market, with an admin panel the owner runs alone.

Questions

What local businesses ask

Do you work with Kyiv businesses in person?+

We work remotely, and for a website that changes nothing: the spec, the demos and the handover all happen on calls and in writing. Meeting in person tends to add a week to the schedule without adding anything to the result.

Kyiv agencies quote much more. Why are you cheaper?+

A large agency bills its account managers, its office and its sales team. We are five developers, and the money goes into the build. The trade-off is honest: you talk to the people writing the code, not to a manager between you and them.

Our site is on WordPress and mostly works. Is it worth moving?+

Only if it costs you something. Measure it first — we do that for free. If it opens in two seconds and your analytics show where clients come from, leave it alone. If it takes eleven, like the Kyiv average in our sample, the site is quietly losing you the traffic you already pay for.
