Built for performance. Designed to grow.
Rhino Websites builds high-performance websites and digital products for fast-moving businesses that care about quality, speed, and long-term results.
We focus on clean builds, thoughtful user experience, and systems that don’t fall apart six months down the line. No over-engineering, no unnecessary complexity, just solid digital work done properly.
How We Work
Our approach is simple and practical:
- Performance-first development
- Clean, maintainable code
- UX-led thinking (not just good-looking layouts)
- Clear, honest communication throughout
- Solutions built to scale as your business grows
We’re especially well-suited to fast-paced startups and growing teams that need things to move quickly — but still want them done right.
Who we work with
We work with businesses across the UK, and have experience supporting teams in France and the USA.
Industry doesn’t matter as much as mindset — we work best with people who:
- Value quality and performance
- Want things built properly, not rushed
- See their website or app as a long-term asset
If you’re looking for cheap shortcuts or “just a quick tweak,” we’re probably not the right fit — and that’s okay.
The person behind Rhino Websites
Rhino Websites is run by Justin Thompson, a web developer and digital problem-solver who’s been building websites professionally since 2012.
With a BCS Foundation in UX, Justin brings a strong focus on usability and clarity alongside technical performance — making sure what’s built works just as well for users as it does under the hood.
While Rhino Websites is intentionally small and hands-on, we scale projects when needed by working with trusted partners — keeping quality high without unnecessary overhead.
Why Rhino?
The name Rhino Websites has been part of the business since 2014, inspired by someone very close to Justin whose nickname was Rhino.
It’s a quiet reminder of why the work is done properly, with care, resilience, and attention to detail, and why quality always comes before cutting corners.
If you’re after a friendly, straightforward developer who cares about performance, clarity, and building things that last, we’ll probably work well together.
