Website FAQs
Your Questions, Answered.
A good website starts with the right questions. Here are a few we hear often.
Our FAQs
What Sets Us Apart from the Rest?
Why should you choose us over other web design agencies? Because we give you value for your money. Starting and operating a business is challenging. There are hurdles along the way, and we understand how tough that can be.
Tell us about your budget and whether spreading payments would help. We’ll confirm the available payment arrangements, any upfront cost and the full terms in your written proposal before you decide.
How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?
The answer depends on your business and what it needs. For example, it takes longer to build an eCommerce website with 50 products than it does to build a small 3-page website.
Why Does My Business Need a Website?
Having a website is like having your own 24/7 virtual salesperson. Your website will showcase your products or services in full clarity, as well as client testimonials that will encourage users to contact you!
It also improves your credibility over businesses that only have social media profiles. On top of being more credible, you can have a business-branded email address that you can use to converse with leads and clients.
Our business-branded email is info@hampshirewebdesign.net.
Does My Business Have to Be Based in Hampshire?
No! Our business may be called Hampshire Web Design, but we are happy to work with any small or startup business in the UK!
Do You Do Social Media Management?
Tell us whether you need help with social posts, an existing campaign or keeping your website and social channels consistent. We’ll discuss the support available and confirm its scope in your proposal.
Should I Use a Website or Social Media?
Both! Just because you have a website doesn’t mean you have to ditch social media. The reverse is also true! Social media gives you another place to connect with customers and link back to your website, helping people discover your business and what you offer.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost depends on what you need and the content you wish to display! If you’d like to find out for yourself, simply request a quote from us and we can answer you personally.
What Software Do You Use?
We use WordPress for many client websites, WooCommerce for online shops, and bespoke development where the brief calls for it. We’ll recommend an approach around the content, integrations and editing tools you need, and explain it in your proposal.
Why WordPress?
We design websites with the client in mind, even after the website has been developed and pushed online. WordPress is easy to use, allows hundreds of integrations, and will allow you to manage content on your websites such as posts, products, and pages. Our servers are also UK-based and directly optimised for WordPress to support a fast, manageable website.
Where Do I Begin?
All you need to do is get in contact with us and we will lead the way. Our website design process typically follows in order of communication, designing, and publishing to get your business online.
What Is SSL Encryption?
You may see this term and scratch your head. HTTPS uses TLS encryption to protect information while it travels between a visitor’s browser and the website. It helps protect details entered into forms or accounts. Secure storage and other safeguards are still needed at the website itself.

Not knowing where to start is one of the biggest hurdles. No question is a stupid question, especially when it comes to web design.
