Our Process
We're based in Wimborne — a 15-minute drive from Poole. We know the town well and we're happy to meet wherever works best for you.
We start with a conversation at your Poole office, our Wimborne studio, or on a video call. We learn about your business, your competitors, and what you need your website to achieve in a competitive Poole market.
We create wireframes and design concepts before writing a line of code. Then we build in WordPress with clean, custom code — optimised for speed, mobile, and the search rankings that matter in Poole.
We handle the launch, set up tracking, and make sure everything works. Then we're here for ongoing support. A typical project takes 4–8 weeks. Larger or more complex sites may take 8–12 weeks depending on scope and content readiness.

FAQs
Every website we build is mobile-first and fully responsive. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, this isn’t optional — it’s fundamental to how we design. We design for smartphones first and scale up to desktop, ensuring the experience is excellent on every device.
Every website is bespoke (no templates or page builders), we’re genuinely sustainable (1% for the Planet members, 50 trees planted and 1 tonne CO₂ offset per project, 100% renewable-energy hosting), and you work directly with the founders.
Every website includes on-page SEO foundations. We also offer dedicated SEO services for businesses investing in long-term organic growth.
Yes. While WordPress is our primary platform, we also design and build Shopify stores for businesses focused on e-commerce. We’ll recommend the right platform based on your specific needs.
Most projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. A straightforward brochure site might be ready in 3–4 weeks, while a larger e-commerce or multi-section site could take 8–12 weeks depending on scope, content readiness, and feedback speed.
Yes. Our Digital Growth Support and hosting & maintenance plans provide ongoing help with updates, improvements and questions.
Absolutely. We’re only 15 minutes away and regularly meet Poole clients at their offices, in co-working spaces, or over coffee on the Quay. We also offer video calls for when a quick chat is all you need.
Yes — Poole’s marine and tourism sectors are a natural fit for us. We understand the seasonal patterns, the visual expectations, and the need for websites that drive bookings and enquiries year-round. We’ve worked with businesses across both sectors.
You’re welcome to! But being based just outside Poole gives us a useful advantage — we’re close enough to be genuinely local, but we’re not competing in the same networking circles as your business. We bring a fresh perspective and a partnership approach that many larger Poole agencies can’t match.
Whether you're on the Quay, the High Street, the business parks, or anywhere across Poole, we'd love to hear about your project. We're in Wimborne — 15 minutes away — and always happy to meet face-to-face.
