Web Design & WordPress Agency in Poole
Somerset-based, close enough to meet in Poole when you need us.
We’re Blunt Notion.
We’re a Somerset-based web design and WordPress development agency working with businesses in Poole, Bournemouth and across Dorset. You get the benefit of a team that actually codes its own websites — so your site loads faster, ranks better, and isn’t held back by page builders or bloated templates.
We understand the local market — marine and manufacturing, professional services, hospitality, and creative businesses. Whether you’re moving on from Wix or Webflow, or replacing a slow agency build, we’ll plan, design, develop and host a site that fits your goals.
We work with clients across the UK, but we’re just down the road from Poole, which means you get ongoing, real support — not ticket-based service or long wait times.
Bespoke Website Design in Poole.
Your business doesn’t need another templated website — it needs one that’s built around your business, services, customers, and goals.
We build custom WordPress websites for Poole businesses that care about performance, search visibility, and long-term flexibility. Every site we make is coded from the ground up, so it only loads the assets you actually need. That means faster pages, better Core Web Vitals, and a site Google is far more likely to rank.
Every site we deliver is:
- Designed to convert – clear layouts, strong service pages, and smart calls to action.
- Mobile-first and responsive – tested across real devices, not just screen sizes.
- SEO-ready – clean headings, structured schema, and genuine local signals for Poole and Dorset.
- Editable by you – flexible WordPress blocks and patterns so you can add new content without touching a line of code and stay on brand.
- Built to last – lightweight, secure, and simple to maintain, whether you host with us or elsewhere.
We focus on sites that perform — not just look good on launch day, but continue working hard for your business months and years down the line.
Our web design process.
We don’t just build websites — we build platforms that serve your business in Poole and Dorset, today and tomorrow. From initial strategy to long-term support, here’s the way we deliver consistent results.
- Discovery & Goals: We meet (on-site or online) to understand who you serve, what you sell, and where you want to rank in Poole/Bournemouth/Dorset.
- Wireframes & Design: Using your brand and audience insights, we map out the user journey, page templates and key conversion points before any code is written.
- WordPress Build & Performance: Our developers build a lean custom WordPress theme (no bulky templates or drag-and-drop overhead). We optimise for Core Web Vitals, fast load times and mobile conversion from the start.
- SEO & Launch: We set up on-page SEO (headings, schema, local signals for Poole), run full device/browser tests, then go live with monitoring in place.
- Support & Growth – After launch your site isn’t abandoned. We offer care plans, updates, performance tuning and open-door support so your site grows and adapts as your business in Poole does.
Why Choose Us for Web Design in Poole?
Poole has plenty of agencies — but most are still building sites on bulky themes or page builders that slow you down. Some have never coded a website. We do things differently. Every WordPress site we build is coded by hand, performance-tuned, and structured for real search visibility. That means a faster, more maintainable site that lasts longer and performs better in Google.
- Developer-led builds: Real WordPress development using modern tech like Gutenberg blocks and patterns — not drag-and-drop templates. We build custom code, not just layouts.
- Performance first: We only load the scripts, styles, and blocks your pages need — no bloat, no unnecessary plugins. That means better Core Web Vitals, stronger SEO, and faster load times for your visitors across Poole and Dorset.
- Local SEO ready: Your site is built with structured content, proper heading hierarchy, and schema markup. It’s optimised to target local and regional searches, helping you reach customers in Poole, Bournemouth, and further afield.
- Straightforward support: You’ll work directly with the developer who builds your site — not a ticket system or call centre. We handle everything from hosting to maintenance, so you’ve always got a reliable partner to call when you need help.

If you’re in Poole or the surrounding Dorset area and want a website that’s properly built — not another off-the-shelf theme — let’s talk. We’ll take a look at your current site, explain what’s slowing it down, and give you a clear plan to improve performance, SEO, and usability.
Whether you’re starting fresh or rebuilding an existing WordPress site, you’ll deal directly with the developer who’ll be working on it — no sales scripts, no agency layers, just honest advice and practical solutions.
