Web Design Hampshire

Most website design and development projects are delivered within around 16 weeks, although timelines can vary depending on the size and complexity of the build, as well as the speed of feedback and content supply. From the outset, we agree clear milestones and keep you informed throughout, so you always know where the project stands and what is coming next.

Feedback and approvals are built into every stage of the process, with clear review points before the project moves forward. Designs are shared for discussion and refinement, and nothing progresses into development without sign-off, ensuring changes are made collaboratively and at the right time rather than rushed or retrofitted later.

After launch, we remain on hand to support your own website as it beds in and begins to be used day to day. This includes aftercare for any issues that arise, as well as optional ongoing support and maintenance services to help keep the site secure, stable and up to date as your business evolves.

Our website costs vary depending on the scope, functionality and complexity of the project, with requirements differing between a brochure-style website and a fully featured eCommerce platform. Factors such as the number of templates, integrations, content requirements and technical considerations all influence the level of work involved. Rather than offering fixed packages, we provide clear, tailored proposals based on your needs, so you understand exactly what is included and how the investment supports your wider business goals.

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.

A custom WordPress site uses the traditional CMS with everything closely connected – ideal for Hampshire 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.

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 Hampshire business doesn’t lose visibility.

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.

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 Hampshire, where mobile-first browsing is common across sectors from retail to hospitality.

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.

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.

We don’t walk away once a site goes live. Our aftercare includes technical maintenance, SEO checks, CRO improvements and ongoing support. Many Hampshire clients love continuing to work with us long-term because they see consistent improvements rather than one-off fixes.

We’ve been building websites since 2006 and have grown up alongside Hampshire’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.

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.

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.
