Web designer in Basingstoke
I design and build fast, custom websites for local businesses, from barbers to beauty studios. Every one is made for that business, never picked from a template, and you own it outright.

Selected work
Every site here is live. On a computer, hover a window and it scrolls the real page.
01
Barbering
A private one to one barber studio at Farleigh Wallop, with two barbers and every booking already running through Booksy. The site shows each cut, what it costs with Bucks or with Fin, and sends people straight through to the booking system they already use, so nothing had to change about how the shop runs.
02
Beauty
Five years of eyelash extensions in Basingstoke, run out of a private treatment room, with no website to point people at. Now every lash style is photographed and explained, every price is listed openly, and there is a Book button on every page.
03
Christmas trees
Alex has sold real Christmas trees in Alton for over ten years, from pitches across Hampshire and into Surrey. The site shows every pitch with its opening times, explains the three grades of tree by their coloured tag, and puts a Choose your tree button and a Call button on every page, so the busiest few weeks of his year run from one link.
What I do
And nothing it does not.
Based in Basingstoke, building websites for businesses across Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey, including Winchester, Reading, Farnham and Andover. Every area I cover.
01
A clean, fast, mobile-first site that explains what you do and turns visitors into enquiries. Typically three to eight pages.
Custom design · Mobile-first build · Contact forms · Google-ready
02
Got a site that's slow, dated, or that you can't edit yourself? I'll rebuild it on modern foundations and keep everything Google already likes about it.
Speed overhaul · Modern rebuild · Keeps your rankings · No lost content
03
Help getting found on Google. Every site starts with the groundwork: proper page titles, structured data, a sitemap and Search Console. Then, if you want it, ongoing monthly work: new blog posts, your Google Business Profile kept up to date, and a short report on what people searched to find you. No promises of first place, because nobody honest can make them.
Keyword research · On-page SEO · Google Business Profile · Monthly blog posts · Search Console reports
04
A clean, simple logo made for your business: a wordmark or a simple symbol, designed alongside your website so the two belong together. You get sharp files that work on your site, social media, van and signs.
Wordmarks & simple symbols · Colour and one-colour versions · Files for print and web · Yours to keep
I keep things simple, clear and stress free, with honest advice and support from start to finish.

How it works
Four steps, no mystery. You always know what happens next.
A free, no-pressure video call, whenever suits you. I learn what your business does and who you're trying to reach.
You get a fixed written quote with a page plan and a date. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices.
I design and build the site, then send you a private preview link. Two rounds of changes are included as standard.
I put it live, connect your domain, and show you how everything works. Then I'm still here if you need me.
No deposits for work you haven’t seen, and nothing hidden at the end. This is the whole thing, start to finish.
Before you commit to anything, I build a demo of your site so you can see exactly what you would be getting. It costs you nothing.
Happy with it? Half the agreed price up front and I start on the real build. The price is fixed in writing before this point.
I buy your web address and set it all up for you. The first year is included in your price, so there is nothing else to pay.
The rest is settled once the site is finished and you have signed it off. No surprise extras, no invoices you did not expect.
I put it live, connect everything up and show you how it all works. The site is yours from that moment on.
What clients say
Rated 5 out of 5
“I honestly couldn't be happier with my new website! From start to finish, the whole process was so easy and stress free. Lilly really took the time to understand my lash business and the vision I had, and brought it to life perfectly. The website looks so professional, is easy for my clients to navigate and feels like a true reflection of my brand. I've had so many lovely comments already! I'd 100% recommend them to any business owner looking for a beautiful, professional website.”
Rated 5 out of 5
“Absolutely couldn’t recommend Lilly enough. She built the entire website for my business, Bucks Cuts, and genuinely smashed it out of the park. From the beginning she completely understood what I wanted the brand to feel like and somehow managed to turn the ideas I had in my head into something even better than I imagined. The attention to detail throughout the whole website is unreal, and everything feels completely tailored to my business rather than like a generic template. She was brilliant to work with throughout the whole process, listened to everything I wanted, brought loads of her own ideas to the table and made the whole thing incredibly easy for me. I’m genuinely so proud to send people to the website now and it’s given Bucks Cuts a completely different level of professionalism. If you’re thinking about getting a website built, I honestly couldn’t recommend Lilly enough. Absolute dream to work with and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Thank you Lilly! 🙌🏼”
Questions
Anything not covered here, just email me. I would rather you asked.
Every job is quoted individually, because the honest number depends on what you need. What moves the number is how many pages you need and whether anything has to be custom built. Either way you get a single fixed price in writing before any work starts: half to begin, half when the site goes live. No hourly rates and no surprise invoices.
No. The website is a one-off price and it is yours once it is paid for. Your domain and hosting are included for the first year, and I will tell you up front what, if anything, it costs to keep running after that.
A one-page site is usually around two weeks. A larger site is three to four. The main thing that affects the timeline is how quickly you can get me your text and photos.
Yes, completely. The domain is registered in your name, the code is yours, and you're never locked into me. If you ever want to move on, everything comes with you.
For most sites, changes are rare enough that it's easier to just message me. If you'd rather edit it yourself, I can build it with an editor and show you how.
No. The whole process runs over video call, email and a private preview link, so it makes no difference whether you're down the road or on the other side of the country. I take on clients anywhere.
The same way most web work happens now. We have a video call at the start, you get a written quote, and then I send you a private link to the site as it's built so you can watch it come together and comment on it. Nothing is a surprise at the end.
Your logo if you have one, any photos you'd like used, and a rough idea of what each page should say. If writing isn't your thing, I can draft it and you just approve it.
Tell me a bit about your business and I’ll come back with a fixed price and an honest recommendation. No obligation.
