Most Hampshire business owners don’t realise their website is actively losing them customers. Here are the most common problems we see and how to fix them.
First impressions are important. When people in Hampshire look for your services and find an old website, they judge your entire business in milliseconds. Even if your service is great, an old-fashioned website makes you look like you’re behind the times.
Modern website design isn’t just about following trends. It’s all about meeting what customers want. If your website has clean layouts, easy-to-use navigation, and a professional look, it shows that you’re a reliable business that people should contact.
Our solution: We create contemporary, professional websites that position you as the obvious choice in your market. Your Hampshire competitors might have flashy sites, but we focus on designs that actually convert visitors into enquiries.
A Southampton professional services firm came to us embarrassed by their 2014 website. Within two months of launching their new site, enquiry quality improved by 45% because they were finally attracting the right customers.
Here’s an uncomfortable truth: 68% of Hampshire residents browse the web on their phones. If your website doesn’t work properly on mobile, you’re turning away two-thirds of potential customers before they even read about your services.
Google knows this too. Since 2019, Google has used mobile-first indexing, meaning they judge your website primarily on its mobile version. Poor mobile experience equals poor search rankings. It’s a vicious cycle costing you visibility and business.
Our solution: Every website we build is mobile-responsive from the start. Works perfectly on phones, tablets, and computers. Before we launch, we test on more than 15 different device combinations to make sure that all of your Hampshire customers have a smooth experience, no matter how they find you.
Touch-friendly buttons, text that is easy to read without zooming, and fast loading on mobile networks are not luxuries; they are necessities. We always build them in.
You’re getting visitors but they’re not contacting you. Your website is essentially a digital brochure, pretty to look at but terrible at actually generating business. The contact form is buried three clicks deep, there’s no clear reason to choose you over competitors, and visitors leave without taking action.
The reason for this is that most websites are made to look good, not to get people to buy something. The layout has no plan, no thought about how users think, and no obvious way for visitors to get in touch with you.
Our solution: We make websites that focus on conversions by using strategic calls to action, strong reasons to choose you, and easy-to-follow user journeys. There is a business purpose behind every design choice.
Clear service descriptions answer customer questions. Easy-to-find contact options make it easy to get in touch with you. Trust signals like testimonials and case studies overcome hesitation. It all works together to turn browsers into buyers.
A Portsmouth retailer increased online enquiries by 65% within two months of launching their new site. Same business, same services, just a website designed to actually generate results.
Page speed matters more than most Hampshire business owners realise. Research shows 53% of mobile users abandon sites taking over three seconds to load. Every second of delay reduces conversions by 7%. Your slow website is hemorrhaging potential customers who never even see your services.
Google uses page speed as a ranking factor too. Slow sites rank lower, get less traffic, and generate fewer enquiries. It compounds quickly.
Our solution: Speed optimisation is built into every project. Compressed images, clean code, quality hosting recommendations, and performance monitoring ensure your website loads in under 2.5 seconds. Your Hampshire customers get instant access and Google rewards you with better rankings.
We don’t just make sites fast at launch, we build them to stay fast as you add content over time.
You need to change your opening hours but it takes three days and costs £75. Want to add a new service? That’s another invoice. Spotted a typo? You can’t fix it yourself. You feel held hostage by your current web designer.
This situation is more common than you’d think. Many agencies deliberately make websites difficult to update because they want ongoing monthly fees. It’s frustrating, expensive, and completely unnecessary.
Our solution: We build WordPress websites you can update yourself. Add pages, change text, upload images, all without technical knowledge. We provide complete training so you’re never dependent on us for simple changes.
Of course, we’re here when you need more complex work. But day-to-day updates? You control them completely. No invoices for minor text changes, no waiting days for simple updates, no feeling trapped.
43% of all websites in the world are powered by WordPress. It’s strong enough for big companies but easy enough for small Hampshire businesses to handle on their own.

Perfect for:
What you get:
Your existing website represents investment and history. Our redesign process respects that whilst bringing you into 2026 with modern functionality and design that actually generates business.
We start with an honest conversation about your business. What are your goals? Who are your Hampshire customers and what do they need? What’s not working with your current site? What’s your budget and timeline?
There is no pressure to do this consultation, and it is free. We’ll be honest with you about whether a new website is the best option or if there are better ones. Many Hampshire businesses appreciate how straightforward we are; we won’t try to sell you services you don’t need.
Format: Phone call or video meeting at a time that suits you.
If we’re a good fit, you’ll get a written proposal that explains how we plan to do the work, a detailed quote with clear prices, a suggested timeline with important dates, and clear terms.
No extra costs. No estimates that aren’t clear. You will know exactly what you are getting and how much it will cost. If your needs change, we’ll revise the quote for free before you agree to it.
Once you approve the quote, we’ll start planning the content, making the sitemap, and coming up with a design strategy. First, you’ll see designs for the homepage, and then designs for the internal pages that follow the same style.
We include up to three revision rounds on designs, ensuring you’re completely satisfied before we move to development. A dedicated project manager will keep you up to date the whole time.
We build your website using clean, modern code that performs well. Your content gets integrated, Hampshire SEO is implemented, and everything is optimised for speed.
Before launch, we test on 15+ device and browser combinations. Every form, button, link, and feature gets tested multiple times. You get access to review everything on a test server before it goes live.
If you’re replacing an old site, your new one will launch without any downtime. We offer video training (usually 45 to 60 minutes) that teaches you how to manage your site, add pages, and update content.
You get written documents and recorded videos that you can look at whenever you want. For the first 30 days after launch, you can get free help with questions, small changes, and advice.
“You’re in Leeds; how does that work for Hampshire businesses?”
It’s a fair question. Here’s the reality: our remote-first approach often works better than dealing with a local agency.
Flexibility for your schedule: No need to take time out for office meetings. Evening or early morning video calls if that suits you better. Review designs from anywhere.
Better documentation: Everything recorded in writing. Project management software shows exactly where we are. Screen sharing for instant collaboration. Recorded training sessions you can watch repeatedly.
Proven across 25+ UK projects: Clients who were worried about the distance were all at ease within the first week of working together. A lot of people like virtual meetings because they are easy to fit into their schedules.
If you want, we can set up in-person meetings in Hampshire for the start of a project or important milestones if the project costs more than £10,000. Most clients don’t think this is necessary once we start working together.
Accountants, lawyers, consultants, and financial advisors in Winchester, Southampton, and Portsmouth need websites that show they are experienced and trustworthy. We make professional website designs that include clear service descriptions, staff profiles, case studies, and secure contact forms that make you look like the best choice.

Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport, and Fareham maritime businesses serve discerning customers expecting quality. We create specialist websites with technical specifications, vessel portfolios, and industry credibility signals that reflect your expertise.
Business websites usually take 4 to 6 weeks, e-commerce sites take 6 to 10 weeks, and redesigns take 5 to 8 weeks. The timeline depends on how ready your content is, how quickly you get feedback, and how hard the project is.
Yes, of course. We make sure that every website we make works on mobile devices and tests it on more than 15+ device combinations. This isn't a choice; it's necessary to reach Hampshire customers who use their phones to shop.
Yes. We build WordPress websites you can update without technical knowledge. We provide complete training so you can confidently add pages, change text, and upload images yourself.
Investment depends on your requirements. Simple business sites start from £349, whilst comprehensive ecommerce solutions range from £1250 to £2000+. We provide transparent quotes with itemised pricing.
We build SEO-friendly foundations, including proper structure, fast loading speeds, mobile responsiveness, and Hampshire-focused keywords. However, rankings depend on competition, the quality of your content, backlinks, and time (usually 3 to 6 months for results). We offer ongoing SEO services to help your rankings go up.
The first 30 days include free support for minor changes. After that, small updates are often done free as goodwill, medium changes are quoted hourly, and major additions are quoted as mini-projects. Many clients choose monthly maintenance packages.
We mainly work with businesses in Hampshire, but we also serve businesses all over the UK, including England, Scotland, and Wales. Our remote-first approach has helped us finish projects for clients throughout the UK.
