In the fast-paced, competitive landscape of London, having a strong digital presence is non-negotiable. Whether you’re a startup in Shoreditch, a boutique in Camden, or a consultancy in Canary Wharf, your website is your shopfront, sales pitch, and customer service assistant all in one. That’s where we come in.
By the Scruff is a creative web design agency with deep London roots and a fresh outlook. We’ve worked with London businesses of all shapes and sizes since 2005 — designing, developing, and optimising websites that look great, perform brilliantly, and convert visitors into loyal customers.
From Shoreditch Roots to Strategic Reach
We were proudly based in Shoreditch, East London’s creative heart, for nearly a decade. In 2020, we relocated to the historic market town of Bishop’s Stortford, East Hertfordshire. This move gave us space to grow while keeping us connected to London’s vibrant business scene — just a short train ride away.
This unique positioning allows us to blend the best of both worlds: the fast-thinking, trend-driven pulse of London with the clarity and focus of a quieter, creative environment. Our clients love that we’re close enough to meet face-to-face when needed but far enough to bring a fresh, strategic view to their digital challenges.
