Websites, branding, print and social media for the schools, charities and small businesses that make this stretch of Dorset tick.
Website Design in Wimborne & Dorset
I'm Kristal, and I design and build websites for small businesses across Wimborne, Ferndown, Poole, Bournemouth, and the rest of Dorset.
Most of my clients are local - from caterers and nurseries to therapists and travel businesses, right across the county. Being nearby means I understand the area you're trying to reach, and it also means you can actually meet me for a coffee and a chat if you'd rather not do everything over email. You can see examples of the work I've done on my portfolio.
Based in Dorset, but happy to work remotely with clients further afield via email, calls, and Google Meet.
What I build
I mainly work in Squarespace, along with WordPress, Wix, HubSpot, and IONOS depending on what suits your business. Most of my work is smaller, simpler sites - a handful of pages, an enquiry form, some nice photography - built for businesses that don't need (or want to pay for) something huge. That said, I can scale up for bigger projects too if your business needs more than the basics. Whether you need:
A simple few-page site to get started
A full brand refresh with a new logo and colours to match
Booking systems set up so enquiries stop landing in your DMs
A larger, more complex site if your business calls for it
Ongoing help updating and maintaining what you've already got... I can help, and I'll always give you an honest answer about what your business actually needs rather than what's easiest to sell.
Who I've worked with locally
I've built and managed websites for businesses across Dorset including LM Catering, Yarrells School & Nursery, Mother Nurture Therapies, SamatA Yoga Dorset, and Not Just Any Travel Agent, along with ongoing marketing work for RAC Saddle Club and the #Willdoes charity.
How it works
It starts with a free 30-minute chat - no pressure, no obligation - just an honest conversation about what a website would actually do for your business. From there, most simple sites take around 10 hours of my time depending on how much content you've got ready, and I'll always give you a realistic estimate before we start.
Get in touch
If you're a small business anywhere in Wimborne, Ferndown, Poole, Bournemouth, or further afield in Dorset and want a website that actually gets you found, get in touch or call 07793 744068.
ABOUTRun by one person, since 2012.
Shore Design Dorset is Kristal - one designer and copywriter working directly with small businesses, schools and charities across Dorset, rather than a queue of account managers passing your brief along.
That means you get someone who actually reads your last email before replying to it, who writes the copy and designs the graphics herself, and who's just as comfortable migrating a 60-page school website as she is turning around a charity poster before the weekend; all at an honest £30 an hour. Communication stays simple and friendly too by email, message, voice note, or face to face, whatever suits you best.
Based in Wimborne. Working across Dorset.
