A web design agency in Dorset built for trades
Fast, mobile-first websites for Dorset trades and independent businesses. Designed to look like you mean business, built to get found in Google and AI search, and live in weeks not months.
A sharp brochure site, quoted up front. No surprises later.
Most sites go live within a few weeks of us having your content.
We handle the technical bits, and nothing's locked in if you ever move on.
Dorset-wide, closest to home on the coast.
Most of our work sits in the Bournemouth–Poole conurbation, so those two have pages of their own.
Everywhere else in Dorset, from Christchurch and Wimborne to Dorchester and Weymouth, is covered from this page. Same build, same pricing, same timeline.
Real businesses, live and earning.
Local trades, creatives and growing firms. Every one of these sites was shaped around the business behind it.

“Matt really understood my style and built a professional, easy-to-navigate site that reflects my brand. Loads of positive feedback since it launched, and no issues at all. Patient, knowledgeable and always happy to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
“251 came to the rescue when my website felt outdated and no longer represented my growing business. Very patient while I settled on the look and the copy, and they turned my ideas into a site I’m proud of. Would not hesitate to recommend.”
“Straightforward from start to finish. They took the time to understand what we do, kept us in the loop throughout, and delivered a clean, fast site that’s far easier for customers to use. Happy to recommend them.”
How long does a website take?
Most small-business sites go live in three to four weeks from the point we have your content. Bigger e-commerce or multi-location builds run six to eight.
How much does a website cost in Dorset?
Our brochure sites start from £995 as a one-off. E-commerce and larger builds are quoted per project once we understand what you need. Every price is agreed before we start.
Do I own the site afterwards?
The site is built for you and around your business. We usually look after the domain and hosting so you don't have to worry about the technical side, but nothing's locked in — if you ever wanted everything in your own name, we'd happily sort that with you.
Will my site show up on Google?
Every build ships with local SEO foundations: proper structure, schema, fast loading and pages targeting your area. If you want to climb competitive terms, our monthly SEO and AI search plan takes it from there.
Can you redesign a site I already have?
Often, yes. If the foundations are sound we'll improve what's there. If it's fighting you, we'll say so honestly rather than sell you patches.
