WORDPRESS, ECOMMERCE AND BESPOKE WEB DESIGN
specialist surrey website design & development services
Website design and development covers a wide range of requirements, and delivering solutions that perform well on mobile devices, support stronger search visibility, and present a high-quality digital design depends on how a business operates, sells, and manages content on a day-to-day basis
From Guildford and Woking through to the southern edges of the M25, we work with organisations ranging from service-led businesses and professional firms to retailers and multi-location operators. Each requires a different type of platform, whether that’s a flexible WordPress website to support ongoing marketing activity, a robust WooCommerce setup to manage products and transactions, or bespoke functionality delivered through a carefully planned website migration from an existing system.
To reflect this range, our website design and development services are structured into dedicated areas, each focused on a specific type of build or technical requirement. This structure allows Surrey businesses to explore the services most relevant to their situation in detail, with clear insight into how different website types are approached, built, and supported by our in-house development team based in neighbouring Hampshire, offering high-level expertise without the overheads and pricing associated with London agencies.
WordPress Websites
With extensive WordPress knowledge in-house, we design and develop fully responsive WordPress websites that support how Surrey businesses manage marketing, content, and daily operations. Each site is built using our proprietary SDK rather than off-the-shelf themes or page builders, ensuring the structure reflects how the business actually works, with tailored layouts, intuitive content management, and capacity to adapt as requirements change.
This approach gives you full control without unnecessary complexity, making it easy to update content, add new pages or introduce integrations as your business grows. With a considered CMS structure and a codebase designed for long-term maintainability, your WordPress website remains straightforward to manage internally while providing a solid foundation for future development.
WooCommerce Websites
WooCommerce is a powerful alternative to hosted platforms like Shopify and Magento, particularly for businesses that want greater control over functionality, data and ongoing costs. Built on WordPress using our proprietary SDK, WooCommerce websites are structured to support real trading requirements, from complex product setups and promotions through to payments, fulfilment and reporting, without locking you into restrictive templates or pricing models.
A clean, modular build ensures stores remain simple to manage while accommodating integrations with payment providers, shipping tools, and wider third-party systems. This allows Surrey businesses to adjust product ranges, customer journeys, and operational workflows over time, without needing to replace or rebuild the core platform as the business evolves.
eCommerce Websites
Selling online places very different demands on a website, depending on products, customers and operational workflows. Our eCommerce websites are designed for businesses that need tailored user journeys, clear product structures and platforms that support how they sell day to day, whether that involves building on WooCommerce, working with platforms like Shopify or Magento, or migrating from more complex systems such as Drupal.
By prioritising structure and usability, eCommerce platforms remain easy to manage while continuing to adapt as business needs evolve. From product catalogues and checkout journeys to third-party integrations, every build is shaped to support day-to-day trading, ensuring intuitive customer journeys and a platform that remains straightforward to extend over time.
Bespoke Websites
Many Surrey-based businesses operate in ways that do not align cleanly with typical CMS or eCommerce platforms, especially where processes, data handling, or user interactions are highly specific. In these cases, bespoke website development provides the flexibility needed to deliver custom functionality, purpose-built workflows, and specialist integrations beyond standard solutions.
Using our SDK as a stable foundation where appropriate, bespoke builds are designed with long-term maintainability in mind, allowing complex requirements to be delivered without sacrificing fast loading speeds or control. This approach makes it easier to extend functionality for your new site over time as operational needs change.
Website Migrations
Website migrations are often driven by the need to move away from restrictive platforms, outdated systems or sites that have become difficult to manage. Each migration is planned carefully to protect content structure, web presence, SEO rankings and business continuity, while improving how the website is managed and extended going forward.
Existing platforms are reviewed in detail before any rebuild or transition takes place, ensuring critical functionality, data, and content are retained throughout the process. Whether consolidating multiple websites or migrating to WordPress or WooCommerce, each migration is handled methodically to deliver a cleaner, more dependable platform that supports future development.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cant find the answer you are looking for?Get in touch and we will be happy to help
Q. How long does it take to build a website?
Most website design and development projects are completed within approximately 16 weeks, although timescales can vary depending on the size and complexity of the build, as well as the pace of feedback and content delivery. From the outset, clear milestones are agreed and progress is communicated throughout, ensuring you always understand the current stage and what comes next.
Q. What is the process for feedback, revisions and approvals?
Feedback and approvals are built into every stage of the process, with defined review points before the project progresses. Designs are shared for discussion and refinement, and nothing moves into development without formal sign-off, ensuring changes are made collaboratively and at the appropriate stage rather than rushed or applied retrospectively.
Q. What ongoing support or maintenance services do you offer after launch?
After launch, we remain available to support your website as it settles in and becomes part of day-to-day operations. This includes post-launch aftercare for any issues that arise, along with optional ongoing support and maintenance services to keep the site secure, stable, and up to date as your business evolves.
Q. How much do your websites cost?
Website costs vary depending on the scope, functionality, and complexity of the project, with different requirements between brochure-style websites and fully featured eCommerce platforms. Factors such as the number of templates, integrations, content needs, and technical considerations all affect the level of work involved. Rather than offering fixed packages, we provide clear, tailored proposals that set out exactly what is included and how the investment supports your wider business objectives.
Q. What software and tools do you use?
We use industry-leading tools throughout the design and development process to ensure clarity, collaboration and efficiency. Website designs are created in Figma, allowing layouts and interactions to be reviewed and refined easily before development begins, while builds are delivered using our proprietary SDK and a carefully selected technical stack suited to each project.
Q. What’s the difference between a custom WordPress site and a headless website?
A custom WordPress site uses the traditional CMS with everything closely connected – ideal for Surrey businesses that need control and easy editing for their marketing team. A headless website separates the backend from the frontend, giving you lightning-fast performance, modern technologies like React or Next.js, and flexible integrations with third-party tools.
Q. Will my new website be optimised for SEO?
Yes, our web developers build every site with SEO in mind from day one. That means fast loading times, mobile-first design, clean semantic code, schema markup and optimised metadata. If you’re moving from another platform, we’ll manage redirects and preserve rankings so your Surrey business doesn’t lose visibility.
Q. Do I need to rebuild from scratch or can you improve my existing website?
It depends on your goals and how your current site was built. If your site has a strong foundation, we can often make performance, design and usability improvements without starting from scratch. But if it’s holding back your growth, whether due to bloated code, poor structure or limited flexibility, investing in a brand new website may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Q. Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. Making sure your new site is optimal for mobile users is standard in our process, and every website is tested across different mobile phones, devices and browsers. This matters in a county like Surrey, where mobile-first browsing is common across sectors from retail to hospitality.
Q. What is a CMS and which one should I use?
A CMS (Content Management System) is what allows you to manage your website content without needing a developer. We typically recommend WordPress for its flexibility, SEO-friendliness and ease of use, but we also build with modern frameworks for clients who need more advanced content workflows, platforms that are highly functional or eCommerce capabilities like an online store.
Q. What’s your approach to web design and development?
We take a strategic, user-first approach. Our process starts with discovery and planning, where we explore your goals, customers and target audience. From there we develop wireframes and design concepts that align with your branding services and business needs. We then build clean, high-performing websites that support long-term growth.
Q. How do you keep websites performing after launch?
We don’t walk away once a site goes live. Our aftercare includes technical maintenance, SEO checks, CRO improvements and ongoing support. Many Surrey clients love continuing to work with us long-term because they see consistent improvements rather than one-off fixes.
Q. What makes boxChilli different from other web agencies?
We’ve been building websites since 2006 and have grown up alongside Surrey’s business community. All work is done by our in-house team of designers, developers and SEO specialists – no outsourcing, no shortcuts. That mix of local insight and technical expertise means we can create websites that are both high-performing and relevant to your audience, whilst ensuring search engines can find it and driving measurable growth.
Q. We have a limited budget, will you still work with us?
We’re happy to scope projects of different sizes and suggest phased approaches where possible. If a full custom build isn’t viable right now, we can offer scaled-down solutions or roadmap support to help you move forward strategically.
Q. What are your values and how do they shape the work you do?
At boxChilli, our core values (integrity, creativity and client focus) are built into everything we do. We’re honest about what will work, proactive in solving problems and always shape our recommendations around your business goals and data. Our work goes beyond the website – it’s part of your broader digital strategy and supports the digital services that keep your business moving.
