Mutual

What is Mutual?

Mutual is a web design and development studio founded in 2016 in Hastings, United Kingdom. The studio specialises in building digital experiences using modern technologies including Craft CMS, React, and Next.js. Their client base spans marketing teams, founders, and startups who need thoughtfully designed and well-engineered websites and web applications.

As a boutique studio, Mutual combines creative design with technical expertise to deliver bespoke digital products. Their focus on modern front-end frameworks and content management systems positions them as a specialist partner for organisations that value quality craftsmanship over volume output.

Where will I work?

Mutual is based in Hastings, United Kingdom. The studio operates a hybrid working model, combining in-person collaboration at their Hastings base with remote working flexibility. Hastings is a coastal town on the south coast of England, offering an affordable and relaxed alternative to London while remaining well-connected by rail.

What is the team like?

With approximately 10 employees, Mutual is a small, tight-knit studio where designers and developers work closely together on projects. The team brings expertise in front-end development, UX/UI design, and content management systems. The small size means everyone has a meaningful impact on projects and the direction of the studio.

The culture is collaborative and craft-focused, attracting people who care deeply about the quality of their work and want to build things they are proud of.

Work-Life Balance

Mutual operates a 4-day working week at 32 hours with full pay. For a creative studio, the 4-day week supports the kind of focused, high-quality work that clients expect while giving the team an extra day each week to rest, pursue personal projects, or simply enjoy the Hastings coastline.
