Why should you have a website?
It’s a great first impression
Having a website leaves a great first impression on your prospective customers giving them that further assurance you are the real deal.
Websites attract customers
Having your own website allows you to be found via search engines. You want to appear high on the list of search results!
Show off your best work
Your website can showcase your very best work. This is especially true for tradespeople and creatives to name just two.
Offer key information
A good website answers any questions your customers have. This includes location, contact details or opening hours.
No stress. No nonsense. No hidden fees.
Here’s our simple step by step procedure to get your business online and beyond!
Step one.
We get to know a little bit about you and what you really want from your website.
We’ll also help you pick out your perfect domain name, hosting package and website maintenance options.
Step two.
We will design your brand new website going from our initial meeting and ideas.
As soon as we’ve made a draft ready, we will send you a preview link to your new website. At this point we ask customers to give us feedback and suggest or request changes to the site.
Step three.
After going over any changes or tweaks, we will make sure the site is all up and running correctly ready to publish to the world, including our basic SEO pack to ensure you show up on Google searches and beyond!
That’s it. It really is that simple. If you’ve opted for maintenance, we’ll keep your website up to date and make any monthly changes as and when you need!

Website design & maintenance plan
Lady Cabs
We designed a brand new website for local taxi company Lady Cabs.
The site needed to be somewhere passengers could go to get information quickly and easily. We came up with a super simplified three page layout featuring key information about the company including easy to find contact information on every single page to help people book a taxi. Included on the website are social media links and general fares for different days/times, including fixed rate fares for airport runs.

Sarah Lean
We were approached by award winning childrens’ author Sarah Lean to update and redesign her website from the ground up.
Featuring all of her books and a user-written blog by herself to show readers and fans updates. As well as ways customers, schools and educational groups can contact Sarah for workshops and book related events.

All Angles Carpentry & Joinery
Local carpentry business All Angles Carpentry approached us to develop them an online presence so customers could see previous work and contact or book the services including requesting quotes for bespoke carpentry.
The website needed to be simple to navigate and easy to understand for customers to quickly find what they came for. With a specific goal for customers to get in direct contact with the client for bespoke carpentry work.

KnitWits Dorset
We were approached by a brand new shop in the historical market town of Wimborne Minster to help get them up to date and online for customers to find them, get directions and contact them. Much like an online business card!
Another great project in with massive thanks to Phil and James. The continuous updates to my website and never ending help with the social media has been a life saver! Thank you so much.
I have a newly designed website designed with love by Harbourside Visual. Very grateful to Phil who handled it all with charm. I’ve already made a blog post asking us all to consider buying books locally!
