Local businesses, and what they usually need
A lot of the work around here is the same shape: a trade, a clinic, a salon, a small hospitality business or a consultancy with a site that was built once and then left alone. It looks dated, it is slow on a phone, and it turns up in Google for the business name but for nothing that anyone actually searches for.
What fixes that is rarely a bigger site. It is a clear page for each service, written the way a customer would describe it, a phone number that is tappable on a mobile, a contact form that reaches your inbox, and a Google Business Profile that matches what the site says.
What we do for businesses in Dorset
New custom sites
Designed and built for the business on a modern stack, on hosting we run ourselves, with SSL and a sitemap submitted at launch. WordPress only when your team needs it.
Rebuilds of tired sites
Your content and rankings carried across, the site underneath them replaced. Old URLs redirected so you do not lose what you have.
Local search set-up
Consistent name, address and phone number across your site and your Google Business Profile, LocalBusiness structured data on the site, and location pages where they genuinely make sense.
Care plans
Hosting, updates, security and backups for £149, for custom and WordPress sites. Changes are quoted or billed by the hour. Email the people who look after your site rather than a ticket queue.
How we work with local clients
Everything can be done over email and a call, which is how most projects run. If meeting in person is easier for you and you are within reach of Bournemouth, that can be arranged with the UK side of the studio.
The studio is split between Bournemouth and Pattaya. In practice that means you are dealing with the person building your site rather than a salesperson, and questions asked in the evening are often answered before the morning.
Start free. Onboard properly when you are ready.
Send an online brief and we build you a free custom micro-site, not a template, to get you online fast. When you want the real thing, the Launch site is £2,950 all-in, with 3 revision rounds included and further changes billed at £90/hr after revisions.
Ongoing hosting and care is a separate monthly plan starting at £149, covering hosting, updates, security and backups. Changes are quoted or billed by the hour. Larger builds, shops and custom functionality are scoped and quoted separately. See how pricing works.
Common questions
Do you only work with businesses in Bournemouth?
No. Bournemouth is our UK base, and we work with businesses across Dorset and the rest of the UK remotely. The work is the same either way.
Can we meet in person?
Sometimes, around Bournemouth and Poole. Say so when you get in touch and we will tell you honestly when that is possible rather than promising a meeting we cannot make.
Do you charge in pounds?
Yes. UK work is priced and invoiced in pounds sterling.
