Sandbanks Digital is a boutique digital agency based in Poole, building bespoke websites and custom web apps for businesses across Dorset and the wider UK.
The people you brief are the people who do the work, and they’re still the people you’re speaking to a year after the site goes live. No offshore developers, no account manager sitting between you and whoever is actually writing the code.
Every site is built from scratch and hosted and maintained in-house, so there’s one point of contact when something needs changing. Pricing is fixed and agreed before anything starts, there’s nothing to pay upfront, and most projects are live within two to eight weeks.
Founded 2025, Incorporated 2026
Both founders are software engineers who've spent years building systems that people rely on day to day, so the technical work stays in-house.
One of us looks after design and everything customers see: how a site reads, how easy it is to find things, and how well it works on a phone. The other looks after what sits behind it, such as databases, online payments, booking forms, and connecting a site to software a business already uses.
Day to day that covers websites, online shops, SEO, hosting and looking after everything once it's live. We also handle the less glamorous parts, like making sure pages load quickly, work for people using screen readers, and treat cookies and personal data properly.
A few things, really.
The work stays here. Everything is designed, built and looked after by the two of us in Poole, rather than passed on to someone else. It keeps the quality consistent and means you always know who you're speaking to.
Each site is built around the business it's for, so it fits how you actually work, and there's no separate platform subscription on top of what you already pay. Sites built this way tend to load faster too, which search engines look kindly on.
You'll also know the cost before we start. Quotes are fixed and itemised, there's nothing to pay upfront, and if the job grows we'll talk to you about it first. Ongoing plans start at £75 a month, covering hosting, updates and support. And you can always speak to whoever built it.
Most projects start with a friendly, no-obligation chat about what the business is trying to achieve. From there we'll put together a fixed price and a timeline, so you know where you stand.
Before any design work begins, we map the whole thing out together: the pages, how they link up and what each one needs to do. Once you're happy with that, we start building.
We design in the browser, so you'll see a real working version early and can try it on your own phone. You'll have a private link to follow along, and you're welcome to ask for changes as we go.
When it's ready we handle going live, including the domain, email and search setup. After that we keep looking after the site, with the same two people throughout.
We're a small team of two, both founders, and both software engineers based in Dorset. Between us we're able to cover a whole project from start to finish.
One of us focuses on design and the parts customers see: how a site looks, how easy it is to find things, and how comfortably it works on a phone. The other looks after everything behind the scenes, such as databases, online payments, booking and enquiry forms, and connecting a site up to any software a business already uses.
We both stay involved on the client side, so you're never waiting on one particular person to be free. Being small suits the way we like to work. It means we can give each project proper time and usually come back to people the same day.
Sandbanks Digital Limited is a UK limited company, registered in England and Wales with company number 17268570 and a registered office in Poole.
We're also registered with the Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller, reference ZC206995. Client sites are built to handle personal data in line with UK GDPR and PECR, with cookie consent and privacy documentation included as standard.
Bespoke websites, designed and built from scratch around your business rather than adapted from something generic. That covers the design, how the site is structured, making sure it works properly on phones, and the technical setup so Google can find it. The result is a site that loads quickly, is easy for customers to use, and can grow with you. The price is fixed and agreed before we start, there's nothing to pay upfront, and we host and look after everything afterwards from £75 a month.
Online shops for businesses that want to sell properly, from a handful of products to a full catalogue. We build the product pages, secure card payments, delivery options and the checkout, and connect it up to the tools you already use. The focus is on making it easy to buy from on a phone, since that's where most people will find you. We'll also make sure you're comfortable adding and updating products yourself once it's live.
Software built for the way your business actually runs, for when the off-the-shelf product almost fits but not quite. That might be a booking system, a customer portal, a staff dashboard, or a tool that takes a job currently done across spreadsheets and email and puts it in one place. We start small, build the useful part first, and add to it once you've used it for real.
Isobel’s Bridal & Groom, Poole. A full rebuild for an Ashley Road boutique that has dressed brides and grooms since 2007. Every part of the shop got its own page, with a booking flow designed so no enquiry gets lost on the way to their appointment system.
Taylor Made Removals, Poole. A ground-up rebuild for a family-run firm, giving each service proper room and making the phone number easy to reach on a mobile, with a quote form to catch people browsing late at night.
Daiffe Ltd. A website for a local removals and logistics company, bringing six services together in one place with their live Google and Facebook reviews built into the page.
