Web design for Bournemouth businesses that want to stand out

With an agency you get an account manager and a rotating team. Here you get the person who actually writes the code, which matters most when something needs changing two years after launch.

Not here. The same person designs the site and writes the code, so nothing is lost between a designer's mock-up and a developer's build, and there is one person to ask when something needs to change.

Yes. I am based in Watford, about 91 miles away. Most of the process is calls and shared screens, which works the same from Watford as from anywhere else, and I can travel to you at the key moments, such as the kick-off and the launch.

Bournemouth town centre, Westbourne, Boscombe, Poole, Christchurch and Wimborne are all fine. Where your customers are matters more than where your office is.

Financial and professional firms, hospitality and tourism businesses, health and wellbeing, digital and creative companies, trades and independent retailers are all a good fit. The common thread is a business that wants a site built around how it actually wins work, rather than a template with its name on it.

A properly built site gives you the foundations: fast pages, clear service and location content, structured data and a Google Business Profile that matches it. It cannot guarantee a ranking in Bournemouth, and anyone who promises you a position is guessing. What I can promise is that the technical groundwork is done properly.

It depends on what the site has to do, because a brochure site and a booking system are different jobs. I would rather look at what you need and then give you a figure than quote from a menu. My guide to what freelance web developers cost in the UK sets out the ranges.

Sometimes, yes. It depends what is underneath it. A quick look at the existing build usually tells us whether it is worth patching or genuinely faster to start again properly.
