Website Design Basingstoke Agency.

The largest town in the county of Hampshire, Basingstoke is a busy, modern city with an impressive cultural heritage. Once an over-spill town for London, in the latter half of the 20th century, Basingstoke became an important economic centre, and today it is a thriving economy in its own right. This once market town benefits from its proximity to London and the surrounding parishes. So it has become the ideal place to live and do business for those looking for the best of urban and rural life.

Boasting affordable house prices (in 2021, the average home was £345.033, which, while high, is significantly less than other popular commuter towns), Basingstoke has a flourishing nightlife, fantastic shopping, and a plethora of family-friendly leisure and amenities.

The town also benefits from a wealth of outstanding Ofsted-rated schools and colleges. And, when it comes to things to do, with the Hampshire countryside, stately homes, museums, lots of parks, a thriving high street and restaurant scene, and an Aquadrome, swimming, golf, and indoor sky diving centre, you won’t go short in Basingstoke! In addition, the town still has a regular market (the original Basingstoke market was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086!).

Basingstoke is also a fantastic place to do business. Indeed, when it comes to business, Basingstoke is thriving. Prominent organisations such as Motorola, Sun Life Financial, ST Ericsson, GAME, Barracuda Networks, Eli Lilly, and the Automobile Association (to name but a few) are based in the town. And the Basingstoke Business Expo attracts hundreds of local businesses.

Just 40 minutes on the train takes you to London Waterloo, while the capital is just an hour’s drive away. Suitably situated on the M3 Motorway, Basingstoke is also well connected to Southampton, Bournemouth, and Manchester. In addition, the A303 connects Basingstoke to the Westcountry, with the A33 linking the town with the M4 and Reading. Furthermore, Southampton and London Heathrow airports are only 25 minutes and 85 minutes away respectively for those who travel further afield.

Costs for web design in Basingstoke

When looking for a Basingstoke web design agency, we know you need to work with a company that won’t blow your budget. So, before we do anything, we work with you to figure out precisely what you need and what you would like to have as optional extras. Working to meet your budget, our quote will be the price you pay, with no nasty surprises.

But we are happy to admit that we are not the cheapest web developers in Basingstoke. This is because, unlike some web agencies, we won’t use off-the-rack templates. In fact, we passionately believe that your website should be built to meet the needs of your business. As a result, we don’t use brute force to make an unsuitable template work for you (this approach usually results in unwanted downtime and constant fixes).

Instead, we will create an original, high-performing website, give you a stunning design, and ensure it is fully responsive. Contact our team for a custom quotation with prices starting from as little as £2,500.

How long does it take to build a website?

You want your Basingstoke website up and running as soon as possible. And we’ll pull out all the stops to make sure that happens. We typically finish smaller websites for businesses in Basingstoke in as little as 4-6 weeks, but it could take 3-4 months if you want something more complex or if your site is large.

Why does it take this long? Well, all our Basingstoke websites are 100% bespoke, so it takes a little more time to finish than it would if you purchased an ‘off-the-shelf’ template. But quality is worth waiting for. We’ll provide an accurate timeframe for the work involved up-front, so you know exactly what’s happening and when.

What type of Basingstoke companies can you help?

At MagnifyLab, our creative and coding experts have helped businesses across various B2C and B2B sectors. From e-commerce, finance, property, technology, legal, and home improvement (amongst more!), you can find out more about some of the industries our web design agency has supported here.

So whether you work in manufacturing, finance, entertainment and leisure, security, IT, telecommunications, insurance, electronics, or something completely different, we’re here to help your business grow.

Do you redesign existing websites?

A quick website redesign might be a good idea if you need a refresh or update. And if your current website requires a new lease of life, MagnifyLab can help. As your Basingstoke web design agency, we can take on various web projects. This includes a brand refresh with new colours and images, moved to a new CMS such as WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, or given extra functionality to provide a better customer experience. Whatever your objectives, we’ll get it done to your exact requirements. We can also help if you need to make your older website responsive to work on mobile devices.

However, in some cases, it can be less expensive to create something new than try and update an old, clunky website. With an eye on your bottom line and commercial and marketing objectives, our Basingstoke web designers will find out what you need and offer the most commercially savvy solution.

Will my new website design Basingstoke work on mobile and tablets?

Short answer – yes, of course! In fact, most web visitors use mobile devices in today’s digital age, so your website mustn’t let you down on a smartphone or tablet.

Creating mobile-friendly, responsive websites, for businesses across Basingstoke, at MagnifyLab, all our websites are built to the latest responsive standards. So, whatever the device used, you can be confident that they will adapt seamlessly as required.

Can you convert my existing Basingstoke website into WordPress?

Yes! We are WordPress experts. WordPress is a fantastic platform that our Basingstoke clients find easy to use and update. It’s also search engine friendly, so it’s no wonder that it has become the platform of choice for many.

But if you are not keen on WordPress – for whatever reason – that’s not a problem. We’re here to help you. So if you don’t want to use WordPress, we’ll figure out why and talk you through your options.

Do you offer a payment schedule for Basingstoke websites?

Yes, all our website design Basingstoke projects start with a 50% deposit. But you won’t pay the remaining 50% until everything is signed off and the website is about to launch.

Do you provide website maintenance and support?

Of course! We can help with things like updating plugins, ensuring regular backups, carrying out security checks, making edits, and more. We’d be delighted to continue working with you after your website is up and running.

Most of our Basingstoke customers are so happy with our web design services that they are keen to appoint us to provide ongoing website support. But crucially, once we have finished building your site, you get full ownership of it. So, when it comes to updating, maintaining, and improving, you will only have to stay with us if you want to.

Can you rank my Basingstoke website on Google?

No problem! Our Basingstoke web design agency is obsessed with all things Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). So, as well as creating websites that look great for our Basingstoke customers, we also help them to climb the Google rankings and get a coveted first-page slot.

If you care about your online presence, then optimising your website for SEO is one of the most important things you can do.
