A web designer for your Bournemouth business.

Your customers may recommend you, but people discovering your business still need to see why you are worth choosing. If they find an outdated website or have to scroll through social posts to understand your services, you could lose their interest before they enquire. A clear, professional website brings your work, services and reviews together, helping more people find you and feel confident taking the next step.

We help Bournemouth service businesses turn that interest into enquiries. If you run a studio in Southbourne, customers need to understand your treatments and how to book. If you travel between Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch for work, they need to know which services you offer at their address. We build around those decisions and the customers you want more of.

Your Bournemouth web design questions, answered.

Clear answers before you take the next step.

More questions, answered
How much does a website cost in Bournemouth?

A five-page website is £650 upfront and a ten-page website is £850 upfront, including VAT. Both come with Website Care at £45 per month, with a 12-month minimum, then a rolling monthly arrangement. Care includes hosting, standard domain fees, maintenance, reasonable edits, direct support and monthly performance reporting.

See the website packages or get an instant quote without sharing your contact details. Other sizes and custom requirements can be quoted separately.

Will I own my website?

Yes. Once your completed website is paid for, it belongs to your business. Website Care is the ongoing hosting, maintenance and support service, separate from ownership.

Ending Website Care does not remove your ownership. Care has a 12-month minimum, then rolls monthly. Cancellation, handover and alternative hosting arrangements are set out in your project agreement.

What content and information do you need from me?

We use your existing website, social profiles and other online business information as a starting point, where available. We may ask for additional details, photographs or materials that are not available through those sources.

We handle the writing and build. You help fill any gaps, check that the content is accurate and give feedback on the design.

Should I choose five or ten pages?

The five-page website is a good starting point to introduce your business, explain your services and make it easy for customers to get in touch. The ten-page website is better suited to getting found in search, with more room for dedicated service and relevant location pages.

Both include bespoke design, copywriting, custom-coded development and SEO foundations. We agree the pages around what will benefit your business.

Can you help my business get found in Bournemouth searches?

Every SemDev website includes SEO foundations: relevant service information, optimised content, clear location details and technical SEO. These help search engines understand what you do and which customers you can help.

We make your services and genuine coverage clear, so customers can distinguish a Bournemouth appointment location from services you deliver across Poole and Christchurch. Relevant service pages help people find the information they need before enquiring.

Search rankings and lead numbers cannot be guaranteed.

Can my website help me reach customers outside of Bournemouth?

Yes. If you serve customers beyond Bournemouth, we can make that coverage clear, including Poole, Christchurch and the surrounding Dorset area where you genuinely work.

Relevant project examples, service information and useful location content help those customers decide whether you can help. We recommend individual location pages when they add value, rather than repeating the same information for every place.

Can my website help customers choose a treatment and book?

Yes. Clear treatment descriptions, photographs of your space and genuine reviews help customers decide whether your business is right for them. The SoSo Nails & Beauty website in Portishead shows how those details can work together. For your Bournemouth studio or practice, we connect the relevant booking service or enquiry form and include the location and access details you provide.

Do you work from an office in Bournemouth?

No. SemDev works remotely with Bournemouth businesses. You deal directly with Sem through messages, email and arranged calls, from the first conversation to launch and ongoing support.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. We review your existing website, reuse useful content and plan what needs improving around your services and customers. We can keep your domain and email setup, checking how they are connected before switching to the new website.

If you also want to move email providers or mailboxes, we discuss that separately and agree any additional work before proceeding.

Can you help if I don’t have a website yet?

Yes. If you already run a service business but rely on referrals, social media or a Google Business Profile, we can build your first proper website.

We use the business information and materials you already have, then ask for anything else needed. Start with an instant quote to see your options, then request a free homepage demo if the pricing suits you.

How long will the website take?

Most standard websites take one to two weeks once the project is agreed and the required information is available. Timing depends on the scope, feedback and any third-party setup.

We confirm the expected schedule before work begins. Larger websites and more complex requirements may take longer.

Do I need ongoing SEO, and how is it different from Website Care?

Ongoing SEO is optional. Every website includes SEO foundations at launch, while Website Care keeps it hosted, maintained and supported, with reasonable edits and monthly reporting.

For existing SemDev clients who want proactive work to improve visibility and the website itself, optional SEO and website improvement plans provide one to four hours of work each month, with a three-month minimum. Priorities are guided by your business and website data. Search positions and enquiry volumes are not guaranteed.

What happens after my instant quote, and is the homepage demo really free?

The calculator shows your website price, monthly Website Care and any optional SEO before asking for contact details. It does not take payment or place an order.

If the pricing suits you, share your details and existing website or social profiles through the same form. Sem reviews your request and, if your business is a good fit, creates a free custom homepage demo. No payment details are needed, and there is no obligation to continue.

The demo shows a possible direction for your website. If you choose the full build, we refine the design together until you’re happy it represents your business.
