Searches with a Dorset town name in them, every day of the year.

A boiler in Ferndown that will not fire, a flat in Poole that needs a new managing agent, a garden in Wimborne ready for a redesign: each one starts as a search. SEO is ongoing monthly work on three agreed searches like these, so more of those customers have the chance to find your business.

  1. 01
    “plumber Poole

    A crowded search in the conurbation, decided quickly on a phone. The business that looks reachable, local and organised gets the call.

  2. 02
    “letting agent Bournemouth

    Landlords comparing fees and management across a town full of flats and student lets. The site has to make the service and the costs clear at a glance.

  3. 03
    “builder Bridport

    Fewer competitors but bigger, slower decisions. Photographs of finished work and a straightforward route to a quote matter more than anything else.

Examples only. Your three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people in your part of Dorset actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Two ways to start in Dorset.

A professional website, or that website with ongoing SEO from the start. The same standard of work whichever you need.

Dorset

Half a million people on one side of the county, market towns on the other.

Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch together form one of the largest urban areas on the south coast, with the trades, salons, letting agents and professional practices that come with it, plus a summer that fills the seafront. Drive west and the county changes completely: Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport and Sherborne are market towns with their own high streets, and the villages between them rely on businesses people find by the name of the nearest town.

A website has to fit the side of the county you work in. A plumber in Parkstone competes with dozens of others a few minutes away; a builder in Bridport might be one of a handful for miles. Either way the customer starts with a search, compares what comes back on a phone and picks the business that looks organised and says clearly where it works. We build that site, then host it, secure it and keep it running for £49.99 a month with a £0 upfront website design fee.

Dorset's housing keeps its trades busy across the board: 1930s semis and post-war estates around Bournemouth and Ferndown, older stone cottages in the west, and the flats and holiday lets along the coast from Swanage to Weymouth. Photographs of the work with the right place names attached are what turn those searches into enquiries.

  2. Months 1 to 18 We host, manage and support it

    Hosting, security, backups, updates and reasonable small changes, while you make the monthly payments. 18 payments of £49.99, £899.82 in total.

  3. After month 18 The website is yours

    Complete the minimum term and the payments due under it, and the website belongs to you. It was built for your business, and it stays with your business.

  4. Your choice Stay, or move it

    Stay with PrimeStart at £49.99 a month on a rolling basis with no new minimum term, or move the website to hosting of your own.

Moving the website elsewhere is subject to the third-party licences any website relies on, such as WordPress, plugins, fonts and stock photography. The full wording lives in the Website Subscription Terms.

Dorset industries

Built around the trade first, then around your part of Dorset.

A plumber in Poole and a builder in Bridport work in very different markets. Each site starts from how its customers choose, then adds the towns and villages it covers.

Everything a Dorset business needs from its website, in one monthly plan.

Design, build, hosting, security and the ongoing technical work are all part of the same plan, so there is nothing to add on and nothing to remember to renew.

Questions

Questions from Dorset businesses

Straight answers on price, the term, ownership and what SEO does and does not promise.

View all FAQs · All locations

Do you work with businesses in the west of Dorset as well as Bournemouth and Poole?
Yes, the whole county. PrimeStart works with businesses across the conurbation and in Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, Sherborne, Blandford and the villages around them. The website is built and managed remotely, so where you are makes no difference to the service or the price, and there is no local office to visit.
How much does a business website cost in Dorset with PrimeStart?
£49.99 a month for Website, with a £0 upfront website design fee. Your first monthly payment is taken at signup and the Website has an 18-month minimum term, £899.82 in total. Complete that term and the website is yours. The price is the same in Dorset as everywhere else.
I cover Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch but not further. Can the site say so?
Yes. The site states the towns and neighbourhoods you cover in the words local people use, so a customer in Parkstone or Southbourne can see at once that you work there and someone in Weymouth is not left guessing. Regular work and larger projects can have different areas if that is how you run things.
My customers include holiday-let owners who do not live here. Does that matter?
It matters for what the site has to prove. An owner in another county cannot drop in to check you are real, so the site carries photographs of your work, your areas and an easy way to enquire from a phone. We write it for the person who has never visited your town as well as the one who has lived there for years.
What does SEO do for a Dorset business?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total with the website included. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, for example "plumber poole", alongside your Google Business Profile and the site itself, and report on what was done. It creates more opportunities for the right local customers to find you. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What happens after the 18 months?
The website is yours. Stay with PrimeStart at £49.99 a month on a rolling basis with no new minimum term, or move the website to hosting of your own. Transfer is subject to the third-party licences any website relies on, such as WordPress, plugins, fonts and stock photography.
