Discovery
We learn what you actually need from a website, not what you think you need. We ask the questions that matter and build from answers, not assumptions.
WEB DESIGN
Web Design Dorset — Built for AI Visibility
Custom-built with Next.js. Designed around your business, not a template, and structured for local search and AI visibility from day one.
The approach · 01
Not a template. Built properly.
We don't start from a WordPress theme or a Squarespace layout and customise it. Every project starts with a conversation. We learn your business, your customers, and what the website actually needs to do, then we build it.
AI search engines are increasingly where buying decisions start. The sites ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend have clean structure, proper schema, and content built to be cited. Every site we deliver is structured for this from day one.
You speak directly to the founder throughout. No account managers. No junior developers. The person you talk to is the person building your site.

How it works · 03
Four steps. No surprises.
Typical timeline: one to two weeks from kickoff to launch.
Design
Built around your brand and your customers. You see the work as it develops and nothing moves forward until you're confident it's right.
Build
Clean code, fast load times. No plugins doing jobs they weren't designed for. No bloat that will slow you down or break unexpectedly six months later.
Launch
Deployed, tested across devices, and handed over in full. You own your site. You get all the logins. Nothing is locked behind us.
Pricing · 04
One fixed fee. No surprises after.
A single project fee covers design, build, and launch. Split into two payments, half at kickoff and half at go-live. No monthly platform fees. No hidden extras. No surprise invoices three months later.
Scope varies, so every project is quoted individually. The fastest way to get a number is to tell us what you need. We respond inside 24 hours.
