Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch on one side, Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport and the market towns on the other: Dorset businesses cover very different ground. We design, build, host and look after a professional WordPress website for £49.99 a month, written around your services and your part of the county.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

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.
