Website Design Quote Shaftesbury — simple answers, no jargon

Why your Shaftesbury business needs a website

When people in Shaftesbury search for a plumber in Enmore Green, a shop near Gold Hill, or a café on the High Street, the first thing they do is pull out their phone. If your business isn’t online, it’s likely being overlooked.

Even word-of-mouth referrals are checked online before calls are made. A missing or outdated site can quietly cost enquiries. A clear, mobile-friendly site builds trust the second someone lands on it.

Websites built for how you work

No two Shaftesbury businesses are the same. A restaurant on the High Street needs menus and booking info at the top. A local trade in Motcombe needs quick calls, not long forms. A shop near Bell Street might want click-and-collect information. We build around your reality, not a generic template.

We begin by asking:

• Which services or products matter most to you
• What a “good enquiry” looks like (and what isn’t worth your time)
• Where your audience is based and how they tend to search
• The repeated questions you hear from customers

The result is a site that works as a business tool, filters time-wasters, and makes it clear how people can get in touch or buy.

Why speed and optimisation matter

Design is only part of the story. The other half is how fast your site runs. Slow pages put people off. Search engines notice too. That’s why we fine-tune speed and structure after launch.

We take care of:

• Minification: stripping excess code for quicker loads
• JavaScript optimisation: preventing scripts from blocking content
• Caching: making return visits near-instant
• Image compression: sharp images with smaller file sizes
• Lazy loading: loading images only when needed

Timeframes that fit real projects

Brochure sites usually take two to three weeks, depending on how quickly content is provided. Larger e-commerce stores take longer, especially if many products need adding. If content is delayed, we launch in stages — core pages first, extras later — so you’re not left waiting.
