Web design in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.

We design, build and host websites for businesses across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area, from seafront hospitality and holiday lets to the area's growing digital and financial services firms. We're based in Southampton and hold every meeting by video call, so you can book it outside your busiest hours.

Over the border in Dorset, and calls that work around the season.

Bournemouth is in Dorset rather than Hampshire, and we work with businesses here the same way we work everywhere: by video call. For a seaside business that matters. You can book calls in the quieter months, or at a time that suits you around the summer rush, and follow the build on your phone without stepping away from the front desk.

  • Video calls when it suits you. Wherever you are in Bournemouth, Poole or Christchurch, with screen sharing so you can see your site as it's built.
  • Built for the season. We'll plan the timeline around your busy months, so the site is live before visitors start searching.
  • Easy updates. Prices, availability and menus change. Add content management (+£1,000) to edit them yourself, or ask us at our published hourly rates.
  • Hosted by us. No hosting company or plugins to manage. We keep the site secure and running.

Websites for a seaside conurbation that's more than a holiday spot.

Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch together form one of the largest urban areas on the south coast. Tourism is a big part of the economy, but so are universities, financial services and a growing digital sector.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets

Visitors compare places to stay on their phones. A fast site with good photos, clear rates or availability and an easy way to enquire or book helps you take more bookings directly, rather than paying a commission on every one.

Seafront and town-centre hospitality

From the beaches and piers to the town centres and Poole Quay, restaurants, bars and cafés need menus, opening hours and booking links that are quick to find and easy to keep up to date.

Attractions, activities and watersports

Poole Harbour, Christchurch's harbour and the long stretch of beaches support boat trips, water sports and outdoor activities. Their sites need clear timetables, prices and booking routes.

Digital and creative businesses

Bournemouth has a lively digital and creative scene, helped by Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth. Agencies and start-ups need portfolio-led sites that show the work and the people.

Financial and professional services

The area is home to a sizeable financial services sector, along with accountants, solicitors and advisers serving local people and businesses. Credibility, clarity and easy enquiries matter most here.

Independent shops selling online

Independent retailers across the area can reach customers well beyond the seafront with their own online shop. We run our own e-commerce store, so we know what selling online involves day to day.

Concept designs that suit the area.

Web design in Bournemouth: your questions.

You're in Southampton. How does working together actually work?

By video call, from the first conversation to sign-off. We don't meet in person, so there's no need to find a gap in a busy season for a visit: you book each call at a time that suits you, and if you're flat out in summer we can do the heavy lifting in the quieter months. We share our screen as we build, and you can check a preview link on your phone in between.

Can you build a booking site for my holiday let?

Yes. We can build a site that shows off your property, explains what's included and the local area, and takes enquiries or links to the booking system you already use. If you want direct bookings with accounts and payments, we'll scope that with you and quote for it in writing.

Do you cover Poole and Christchurch too?

Yes. We work across the whole Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. Because every meeting is a video call, it makes no difference which of the three towns you're in.

We're a digital or fintech start-up. Can you build more than a brochure site?

Yes. Alongside websites we build web applications, such as dashboards, client portals and tools, from £10,000, with user accounts available as an add-on. You'll get a fixed written quote before we start.

Are your prices higher for Dorset?

No. Our published prices are the same everywhere: information websites from £300, business websites from £1,500 and online shops from £3,000. Nothing is due upfront and hosting is included.
