Where we work

Web design for Basildon and south Essex

Basildon has the biggest concentration of industrial and trade businesses in the county, from the estates at Burnt Mills and Pipps Hill to the units around Laindon and Pitsea, alongside a town centre, a retail park and a growing number of companies selling online. Most of them need the same thing from a website: to be found by the right buyers and to make it easy to enquire or order.

We are in Westcliff-on-Sea, twenty minutes along the A127. Close enough that meetings happen at your premises when that is easier, and that a problem after launch can be looked at in person the same day.

Built for trade and B2B

Trade accounts, bulk ordering, product catalogues with thousands of lines, quote requests, dealer locators. We have built all of it, and we know the difference between a website that looks busy and one that makes the phone ring.

You deal with the people doing the work

No account manager relaying messages. The designers and developers take the brief, build the site and pick up the phone afterwards.

Twenty minutes away

We are in Southend, twenty minutes up the A127. Meetings happen at your premises or ours, whichever is easier, and the rest runs on video calls that fit around your working day.

Ten years of Essex clients

We have worked with businesses across the county since 2016, and 93% of our clients stay with us year on year. Several of our longest-standing clients are trade suppliers.

The team you will be working with

A small team in one studio in Westcliff-on-Sea. You meet the people building your site at the start and deal with them throughout, by phone, on video or at your unit in Basildon.

Good questions

Web design in Basildon: your questions

Not covered here? Ask us on a call, no obligation.

How far are you from Basildon?

About twenty minutes by car along the A127. Our studio is in Westcliff-on-Sea, and we work with businesses across Essex. Meetings can happen at your premises or ours, whichever is easier.

Do you build websites for trade and industrial businesses?

Yes, and it is one of the things we are best at. Trade accounts, bulk ordering, large product catalogues, quote request forms and B2B pricing are all things we have built before, usually on WooCommerce or a custom WordPress build. Power Hygiene, with over 5,000 product lines, is a good example.

How much does a website cost?

Our websites normally start from around £4,000 and rise with the scope and what the site has to do. A brochure site for a trade business sits at the lower end; a B2B store with trade accounts sits higher. Our guide to how much a website costs in the UK explains what drives the price.

How long does a website take?

Most business websites go live within a couple of months of kick-off. Online stores and larger builds take longer. The timeline is set out in the proposal, and we tell you early if anything moves.

Can you get us found for searches in Basildon?

Yes. The build includes the right pages for the right searches, your Google Business Profile tied to the site, and structured data so Google knows where you are and what you do. If you want to go further, our local SEO service takes it on from there.

Do you build online shops?

We do. We are a Woo Pro Agency Partner and a Shopify Partner, and we build online stores for suppliers selling to trade, retailers selling to the public, and companies doing both from the same site.

Can you take over a site another agency built?

Yes, it is a regular part of our work. A website audit tells you what is worth keeping, and if a rebuild is the right call our migration process protects the rankings you already have.

Which platform do you recommend?

WordPress for most business websites, WooCommerce for stores that need trade pricing and flexibility, Shopify where simplicity matters more. We are partners with all three, so the advice is based on your business.

What happens after launch?

You choose. Most clients keep the site with us on a care plan so it stays fast, secure and updated. If you would rather manage it in-house, you can: the site and everything in it is yours.

Do you offer marketing as well as web design?

We do. SEO, Google Ads, social and email are run by the same team that builds the site. For trade businesses, Google Ads and search are usually where the enquiries come from, and we run both.
