Web Design & WordPress Agency in Bournemouth
Somerset based. Working across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch & the South West.
We’re Blunt Notion.
We’re a Somerset-based web design and development studio working with businesses in Bournemouth, Poole and across Dorset. You get the benefit of an agency that actually codes its own WordPress sites — so your website loads faster, ranks better, and isn’t tied to a drag-and-drop builder.
We know the local market: hospitality, professional services, creative, marine, tourism. Whether you’re upgrading from Wix/Webflow or replacing an old agency build, we’ll plan, design, develop and host it for you.
We work with clients across the UK, but we’re close enough to Bournemouth to meet, review and support long-term.
Bespoke website design for Bournemouth businesses.
Your business doesn’t need another off-the-shelf website. It needs a site that’s built around your services, locations and customers.
We build custom WordPress sites — not theme hacks — so we only load the code you actually need. That means better Core Web Vitals, quicker page loads for Bournemouth visitors, and a site Google is happier to rank.
Every site we deliver is:
- Designed for conversion – clear structure, service pages, calls to action.
- Mobile-first and responsive – tested across real devices.
- SEO-ready – clean headings, schema, and local signals for Bournemouth / Dorset.
- Editable by you – custom blocks & patterns so you can add projects, blogs and pages without breaking layouts.
Our web design process.
- Discovery & goals: We map what you sell, who you sell to, and where — Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch or wider Dorset.
- Wireframes & design: We design page layouts that actually support your services, not just look nice.
- WordPress build: We code a lightweight, custom theme (not Elementor/Divi) so it’s fast, secure and easy to update.
- Launch & support: We deploy, connect analytics, set up SEO basics and, if you want, host and maintain it for you.
Why choose us for your web design needs?
Bournemouth has some good agencies, but a lot of sites here are still running on heavy builders or old themes. We build lean WordPress sites with real SEO foundations — ideal if you want to rank for local searches and not pay for a rebuild again in 18 months.
- Developer-led builds: Real WordPress development utilising the latest tech including Gutenberg blocks and patterns — not just page-builder layouts.
- Performance first: We only load what’s needed, so you get better Lighthouse scores and happier users.
- Local SEO ready: Structured content, locations and schema so you can target your own industry searches.
- Straightforward support: You’ll deal with the person building the site — not a support desk and not department hopping from one person to another.

If you’re based in Bournemouth or nearby and want a website that’s actually built properly — not another bloated template — let’s talk. We can review your current site, tell you where it’s slow, and give you a realistic plan to fix it.

Digital marketing is important because it allows businesses to reach a large audience of potential customers. It’s also a relatively affordable way to market a business, and it can be very effective in generating leads and sales.
SEO is important because it can help businesses attract more visitors to their websites. When a website ranks higher in SERPs, it is more likely to be seen by potential customers.
Branding is important because it helps businesses to stand out from their competitors and to connect with their target audience on an emotional level. A strong brand can also help businesses to charge higher prices and to retain customers.
Our Digital Expertise.
We design and build fast, SEO-ready WordPress websites for businesses in Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset, and across the UK. Based in Somerset, we work closely with clients who want more than just another theme setup — they want a site that performs, ranks, and lasts.
We don’t use page builders or generic templates. Every site is hand-coded, lightweight, and built with scalability, Core Web Vitals, and SEO in mind from day one. That means quicker load times, cleaner structure, and a platform Google actually wants to rank.
Our focus is on clarity, usability and results — from the way pages flow to how calls-to-action convert. We create websites that not only look the part but genuinely help your business grow online.
Beyond design and development, we provide technical and local SEO, digital marketing, and photography to help you build a strong and consistent online presence. And if you need direction, our consulting and strategy services keep your digital efforts organised, effective, and moving forward.
No gimmicks. Just well-built, dependable WordPress websites that do their job — properly.
