Web design in Chelmsford
Chelmsford has more businesses competing for attention than anywhere else in Essex, and a website that merely exists is not enough. We are an Essex web design agency thirty minutes down the A130, building sites for Chelmsford companies that bring in enquiries and sales, with a team that will meet you at your office rather than only over email.
Essex businesses we have helped grow online
We are based in Southend and work across the county, so our client list runs from the coast to the A12. Here are a few of the Essex businesses we have built for, most of them a short drive from Chelmsford.

Where we work
Web design across Chelmsford and the surrounding towns
Chelmsford is the county town and its business base shows it: professional firms around the city centre, trades and suppliers on the estates at Widford and Springfield, retailers on Bond Street and the High Street, and a growing number of companies selling nationally from the A12 corridor. Each of those needs a different kind of website, and we have built every kind.
We are in Westcliff-on-Sea, around thirty minutes from Chelmsford by car. That is close enough for the parts of a project that work better face to face: the first meeting at your office, a review of the design before we build, and a visit after launch to make sure your team can run the site.

Websites built around your business
Chelmsford businesses usually need one of three kinds of website. Each is built around a single goal, so pick the one that matches yours.
Ecommerce websites
Sell more, retain more and give your customers a store they actually enjoy buying from. Ecommerce is what we’re known for, and it shows in the results.

Why Chelmsford businesses choose designbox
The reasons companies across Essex work with us, and keep doing so.
Thirty minutes away, and we come to you
We are in Southend, not Chelmsford, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. In practice it means meetings happen at your office, the drive is half an hour, and the rest runs on video calls that fit around your day.
No account managers in between
The designers and developers building your site are the people you speak to, from the first conversation to launch and beyond. Decisions get made in the room, not relayed.
Partner credentials behind every build
We are an Automattic Pro Agency Partner, a Woo Pro Agency Partner and a Shopify Partner, with Cyber Essentials certification. Those are not easy to get, and they shape how every site is built, hosted and supported.
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. Some have been with us for most of that decade.
The people 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 office in Chelmsford.
