I believe every small business deserves a professional website to compete effectively online.

Too many small businesses struggle with websites that fail to attract customers or drive sales. Even worse, some have no online presence at all, missing out on valuable opportunities.

An unprofessional design, slow load times, or confusing navigation doesn’t just frustrate visitors. It damages your credibility and sends potential customers to your competitors.

I’m Josh Samways, a freelance web designer based in Dorset. I help small businesses like yours get the website they deserve, one that looks great, works hard for you, and brings in more customers. Whether you’re starting from scratch or need a redesign, I’ll build a site that supports your goals, is simple to use, and helps people find what they need quickly. With clear communication and a stress-free process, your website will generate more leads, boost sales, and help your business grow.

How I've helped small businesses across Dorset with web design.

Classic Beauty Boutique

Classic Beauty Boutique, a beauty salon in Southbourne, was at a pivotal stage of growth. Having transitioned from a sole trader to a team of three and moved into a stunning new salon, they needed a website to match their evolution. I designed a sleek, elegant site that reflects the salon’s aesthetic, showcases their treatments, and uses local SEO to attract new clients.

Ultimate Camper Sales

As a growing start-up, Ultimate Camper Sales needed a professional website to showcase their range of VW camper conversions. I designed a sleek, user-friendly site that lets customers explore stock online, learn more about each vehicle, and easily get in touch. The result? A stronger online presence, increased enquiries, and a major boost in sales.

Ferndown Photographics, a high street print shop, needed a clear, user-friendly website to replace their costly old site and remove an unused online store. Refocusing on in-store services and linking to a new external print platform. I created a streamlined, static site with local SEO, making it easy for customers to find their services, pricing, location, and shop with a click.

  • Josh did an incredible job designing our website! We had no idea where to begin, but he guided us through everything, what pages we needed, how to rank on Google, and why collecting reviews was so important. He also does our photography, manages the social media pages, and makes sure everything works together to bring in more customers. Since launching, we’ve sold more vans than ever before, it’s been a game changer for our business.

  • Josh came highly recommended to me from a neighbouring business. He came up with a clean and fresh look that is easy for visitors to navigate. My online orders have increased significantly since. I would highly recommend Josh, he is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and approachable but most importantly he knows what he's doing and goes out of his way to understand your business so he can develop a website that is ideal for your business.
