Basingstoke
Web design in Basingstoke — hand-coded websites from £300.
A local developer, a fixed price, and a site that loads in under a second. Built in Basingstoke, for Basingstoke businesses.
South Web Design is based in Basingstoke — not an agency three counties away with a “local” landing page. I’m Alfie South, the developer who writes every line of your site, and if you’d rather talk it through over a coffee in town or at your unit before committing to anything, that’s a ten-minute drive, not a video call slot.
Basingstoke is full of good businesses running on bad websites: trades relying on word of mouth, service firms handing out a URL they’re quietly embarrassed by, shops invisible when someone searches their own trade plus “Basingstoke”. When a customer compares three local firms on their phone, the site that loads instantly and answers their question wins the call — and that’s a solvable problem, at a sensible price.
Every site I build is hand-coded and static. No page-builder, no plugins, no database to hack or slow things down — just clean code that hits sub-second loads and top Lighthouse scores. Google rewards that speed with better local rankings, your visitors reward it with more enquiries, and because there’s nothing bolted on, there’s nothing to break at 2am. When it’s done, the code is handed over — genuinely yours, not held hostage on someone’s platform.

Across the town
Every corner of Basingstoke, and the villages around it.
Whether you trade from a unit at Chineham or Houndmills, an office on Basing View, a shop near Festival Place or the Top of Town, or you run the business from home in Old Basing, Oakley, Bramley, Tadley or Overton — the brief is the same. I’ll build you a site that shows up when your neighbours search for what you do, and I can be at your door without a motorway involved. Further afield, the same service covers towns across Hampshire and the South of England.
Basingstoke questions
Asked by local businesses.
How much does a website cost in Basingstoke?
£300, fixed, for a typical small-business site — that covers design, hand-coding, mobile optimisation, a contact form and Google Business set-up. After launch it's £12/month for hosting, backups, edits and support. You get the exact price in writing before anything starts, and bigger builds like e-commerce are quoted individually.
Can we meet in person in Basingstoke?
Yes — I live and work in Basingstoke, so meeting for a coffee in town or coming to your premises is easy. Plenty of clients prefer to sort everything by email and phone, which works just as well, but if you'd rather talk it through face to face before committing, that's exactly the kind of thing being local is for.
Have you built websites for other Basingstoke businesses?
Yes — recent Basingstoke builds include Basingstoke Cleaning Services (commercial cleaning), Mastic Sealant Solutions (sealant contractor) and Intec Fitness (gym). All three are hand-coded, load in under a second, and were live within two to three weeks. You can see each one on the work page.
How long does a Basingstoke website take to build?
Two to three weeks from go-ahead to live, for a typical small-business site. The variable is usually content — photos, service lists, the words — and I help pull that together. If you have a deadline, say so at the first chat and I'll tell you honestly whether it's doable.
