Our Process
We're based right here in Wimborne, so working together couldn't be easier. Whether you'd prefer to meet at your office, pop into our studio, or grab a coffee at one of the town's excellent independents, we're always up for a face-to-face conversation.
We start with a conversation — at your Wimborne premises, at our studio here in town, or over a video call. We learn about your business, your customers, your goals, and what isn't working with your current website. This is the foundation everything else is built on.
We create a sitemap, wireframes, and design concepts so you can see how your website will look before we write a line of code. Then we build it in WordPress with clean, custom code — every page optimised for speed, security, and search engines.
We handle the technical launch, set up analytics, and make sure everything works perfectly. Then we're here for ongoing support, maintenance, and growth. A typical project takes 4–8 weeks. Larger or more complex sites may take 8–12 weeks depending on scope and content readiness. We're just down the road, so we're always available for a quick call or a coffee to discuss progress.
