Your users won’t settle for dull. Neither should you. Our web design agency combines performance with intuitive UX to drive brands forward.

An honest studio

Upperdog is an award-winning web design agency based in Bournemouth. We care about what you do, how your brand delivers, and how we can help to make it even better.

All in a simple three-step process…

Discovery

Your website, your audience. We’ll research the market data, build an idea board, and lay the framework around your unique business goals and target users.

Design

Looks matter. Our design team have years of experience and specialist knowledge in producing cutting-edge design, whether building on your vision or crafting from scratch.

Develop

Standout design deserves the cleanest code. Our end result is a fast, lean, accessible website with a clear focus on the user experience – your website, exactly how you want it.

From the ground up

Leading brands stand out from the crowd. That means no generic templates, no replica design. Just bold, attention-grabbing websites that leave a lasting impression.

At Upperdog, we build bespoke no matter the scale or requirements. At the end, you’ll have a custom, high-performance website that works seamlessly towards your goals, across all devices, for every user.

Into the future

New websites can rapidly become old and outdated. So, we engineer websites that keep pace with your brand.

As specialists in WordPress and WooCommerce, we build each website with unique block-editor functionality. This gives you full freedom to easily customise on the go – creating new pages, tweaking old content, adapting the user journey – all long after we’re done.

No expertise or insider experience needed; it’s all incredibly straightforward, easy to use, and manageable by you.

Web design FAQs

Have a question about website design? You’re in good hands. We love showing off a little expertise.

In the context of web design, CMS stands for Content Management System. This is a software platform that allows users to create, manage, and edit the digital content on their website without needing any specialised technical knowledge or skills.

At Upperdog, our personal CMS of choice is WordPress, thanks to its range of features and customisable plugins that make it incredibly easy for businesses and individuals to manage.

Responsive we design is an approach to web development that ensures a website adapts and displays optimally across various devices and screen sizes, including, desktops, tablets, and smartphones. This technique uses flexible layouts, images, and CSS media queries to provide a seamless user experience.

Unhelpfully, there’s no straightforward answer to what makes a good website design. Personal preferences can vary enormously, and requirements are often different between industries. That being said, good website design generally needs to be user friendly, visually appealing, and easy to navigate. For optimal performance, which can be an important factor for user experience and other considerations like SEO, websites also need a clear structure, fast load times, mobile compatibility, and strong calls-to-action. All that, plus they need to reflect the brand’s identity and communicate their message to their target audience.

The time it takes to design a website will vary based on its complexity and size. A simple website can take just a few weeks, while a bespoke platform with custom features and extensive content might take months. Other factors influencing this timeline can include the design process, content creation, revisions, and testing.

Just bear in mind, it pays to be patient for the very best results!
