Web Design in Winchester from £395
We're a Hampshire web studio, close enough to stand on your drive in Kings Worthy or in your unit off Winnall Valley Road, ready to hand-code a website for your Winchester business. Trades running out of Winnall and Bar End, takeaways on the parades at Harestock and Kings Worthy, independents on Parchment Street and in the Brooks. We haven't got a paying client in Winchester yet, so we do it the other way round to everyone else: we build your site first, send you the link inside 48 hours, and if you'd rather walk away you owe us nothing.
Our price is on this page. Theirs is behind a form.
Most studios chasing Winchester work won't put a figure anywhere you can find one. You fill in an enquiry, you wait, then you get a meeting. Here's ours instead, before you ask for it.
Every price is written down
£395, £650 or £1,200. The same figures for a Winnall electrician as for a firm with an office on St Thomas Street. No day rates, no scope creep, no quote that turns up a week later.
The site comes before the invoice
Nobody here asks you for a deposit to see a mock-up. We build the real thing, your trade, your photos, your words, and send the link in 48 hours. Then you decide.
Built for a phone on the Waterloo train
A good slice of Winchester earns its money in London and books its trades on the way home, or from the sofa once the kids are down, one-handed. Your site opens fast on a poor signal and the call button sits under the thumb.
Hand-coded, not a page builder
Every line written by us. That's why it opens straight away on a phone with barely any signal at the back of Winnall Valley Road, and why Google likes it.
Set up on Google properly
Google Business Profile claimed, categories right, service area drawn round the city, the Worthys and the villages, so you turn up in the map pack when somebody searches "near me" from Weeke or Badger Farm.
Care plans from £35 a month
£35, £55 or £95 a month to keep you winning customers: new job pages, fresh photos, reviews chased, local rankings looked after. That's the job. It isn't hosting.
Winchester trades, and the people feeding them
The agencies chasing this city aim at the solicitors, accountants and estate agents up around the Square. We aim at the vans coming off Easton Lane and the fryers on the village parades, because that's where a website pays for itself fastest.
Heritage and conservation trades
Winchester is a city of conservation areas, and altering a listed building without consent is a criminal offence, so uPVC gets refused and flush sash is the spec. If you're a stonemason, a lime plasterer, a flint and clay tile roofer or a joiner who can talk an owner through a consent application, that's a service page no template mill would think to write. It wins the job before you've been out to survey it.
Extensions, lofts and renovations
The terraces in Fulflood and Hyde have narrow rear access and nowhere to drop a skip. The houses out at St Cross, Teg Down and Oliver's Battery have room for everything and owners who want it done properly. Both are spending on side returns, loft rooms and kitchens, and one of those jobs covers a £1,200 site several times over. Put the finished ones up with the road they're on.
Electricians, plumbers and heating engineers
You already know what a directory lead costs you, because it's on your own invoice: £15 to £40, and the same enquiry gets sold on to your rivals the same afternoon. Your own site sends the call straight to your phone and nobody else gets a copy. Chalk ground, old pipework and frontages you're not allowed to touch mean a good chunk of your week is problem solving anyway. Say so on the page.
Takeaways and independent food
Order through the apps and a quarter to a third of every order never reaches you. It comes off the top of the ticket, before you've paid for the stock, the gas or the driver. Your own ordering page takes the same order without the cut, and it works the same whether you're on the Harestock parade, at Badger Farm, in Stanmore, or up in the Worthys.
Landscapers, tree surgeons and driveways
Big gardens, mature trees, and plenty of them under a TPO or standing inside a conservation area. If you handle the paperwork as well as the chainsaw, that deserves a page of its own. Same for resin and block paving out at Littleton, Sparsholt and the Worthys, where the drive is the first thing anybody sees and the chalk underneath decides how you build it.
Mobile valeting, mechanics and cleaning rounds
Detailers, mobile mechanics, oven and window cleaners working Weeke, Harestock, Oliver's Battery, Abbotts Barton and the Worthys. No shop front for anyone to find you with, so the site is the shop front. It's also the trade our one named result came from, further down this page.
Worth knowing about the city centre. Parking in Winchester is a fight and a good number of your customers will decide where they are going while they are still queueing at the Bar End park and ride, on a phone, before they have parked. If you sell food, drink or anything a visitor carries home, that search is the whole game.
We haven't got a client in Winchester yet
Every other agency page you've got open right now has a wall of testimonials on it. We couldn't put an honest one from this city on ours, so here's the truth instead.
We have no live client in Winchester, and none anywhere in Hampshire. The client sites we've launched are in Falkirk, Stoke-on-Trent, Leicester, Middlewich, Crewe, Kent and the Bristol and Cardiff area, plus one business that trades online only. Eight real businesses, running today on sites we wrote by hand.
We have built in Winchester, and it's worth being exact about what that means. We've hand-coded around eighty sites on spec across the UK, Winchester businesses among them, before anybody was contacted and before a penny changed hands. Built, never launched. Not one of those firms has paid us anything, not one of them is a client, and we won't call them one.
Which is exactly why the preview goes first. A testimonial is a stranger's word about a stranger's website. What you get is the actual thing: your business, your photos, your words, a working link on your phone inside 48 hours. Judge that instead. If it isn't good enough you've lost the time it took to read this page and nothing else, so there's nothing a testimonial would have protected you from anyway.
"The website's already created £1,700 worth of jobs, only 3 jobs, pretty high ticket. It's only been up a day. Knew it would slap. 10/10, man."
Oliver, Rinse Revive Detailing, Falkirk
We're not pretending that happens for everyone. That is one client, in one trade, on his first day live, up in central Scotland. It's the only result we can put a name and a town against, so it's the only one we'll ever quote at you.
We're SH Studios, company number 17354895. Everything above is checkable, which is the whole reason it's written here rather than dressed up.
