What we do

Senior-led web design, WordPress and creative support, a considered bespoke alternative to template-led websites for Basingstoke businesses.

Web Design

Research-led design built around your users, content, structure and conversion.

Branding

Brand discovery, identity and messaging that sharpen your website and business.

Motion

Purposeful animation and interaction that add clarity, polish and genuine distinction.

WordPress

Custom WordPress development that is fast, flexible and straightforward to manage yourself.

Wordpress Maintenance

Updates, monitoring and security-conscious maintenance that keep your site reliable, current and supported.

WooCommerce

Conversion-focused WooCommerce stores for products, services and specialist online selling.

Our approach.

Good websites do not begin with layouts. They begin by understanding your business, users and what the site must achieve.

That thinking then shapes structure, messaging, design and the WordPress build, so every decision has a clear, defensible purpose.

In Basingstoke, you deal directly with the people planning, designing and developing your site, from first conversation through to launch.

One senior-led process, from discovery through to launch.

  • Research-led

    We start by understanding your users, goals and content needs.

  • UX-focused

    Journeys, structure and messaging are shaped around what users need to do.

  • Brand-aware

    Design responds to your positioning, not visual preference alone.

  • Built properly

    Custom WordPress development that stays fast, flexible and easy for you to manage.

we’re often asked...

  • Are you actually based in Basingstoke?

    Yes. CobwebMedia is genuinely based in Basingstoke, rather than operating through a virtual address or a distant head office. Being local makes it easy to meet Basingstoke businesses in person when that helps, though a good deal of our work happens smoothly online too. Wherever you are, you deal with the same people throughout.

  • Who will I actually be working with?

    You work directly with Andy and Chris, the two people who lead CobwebMedia. Andy handles strategy, UX and design, while Chris leads WordPress development. There are no account managers, studio managers or junior hand-offs, so the people who understand your project at the start are the same people building and supporting it later.

  • Do you only build websites in WordPress?

    We specialise in custom WordPress websites, built with clean, lean code rather than bloated templates or heavy plugin stacks. For online stores we use WooCommerce, which sits on top of WordPress. Focusing on one platform means we know it deeply and can build sites that are fast, flexible and straightforward for your team to manage.

  • Can you help with branding and content, or just the build?

    We can help well beyond the build. Alongside web design and development, we offer brand discovery, identity, messaging and motion, and we can guide content so it works hard for your users. If you already have a brand or a wider marketing team in place, we are happy to work alongside them rather than replace them.

  • How much does a website cost?

    Cost depends on the scope of the project, so we would rather give a considered figure than a misleading one. A simple brochure site, a content-led site and a full WooCommerce store all involve very different amounts of design and development. Once we understand what you need, we set out clear, itemised costs before any work begins.

  • How long does a project usually take?

    Timescales vary with the size and complexity of the site, and with how quickly feedback and content come back to us. Rather than quote an arbitrary figure, we agree a realistic timeline during planning and keep you updated as the project moves through discovery, design, development and launch.

  • What happens after the website launches?

    Web design does not end at launch. We offer ongoing maintenance, updates and support, and because Andy and Chris already know your site and your business, improvements can be made quickly and confidently. Many clients stay with us long after their site goes live, treating us as a long-term partner rather than a one-off supplier.
