Web design, web apps and SEO for businesses in Dorset
A good website should earn its place. More customers, smoother operations, and a presence you're happy to put your name to. We're Motley, and that's the job we've done for businesses across the UK and beyond for the best part of 18 years.
We keep it straightforward. No jargon, no nonsense, and no disappearing the day the site goes live. You'll deal with real people who have done this plenty of times and will give you a straight answer.
If you have a project in mind, or you're not yet sure what you need, get in touch and we'll point you the right way.
Word of mouth
Ask around
“I've known Jamie from Motley for 3 years after we met on the networking circuit. In that time, we've become very good friends and he is a natural web developer to refer my contacts that need websites. I've referred 3 people to Jamie and Motley and in each case, my contacts have been delighted with the websites that they have received. It was therefore only natural to choose Jamie and the motley team when we decided it was time to build our new website for www.Mastermind9.com. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome. The site is beautiful, fast and already (within a week of launch) attracting new leads. It's been built with high ranking SEO in mind and it's performing beautifully. I genuinely couldn't be happier. Thank you Jamie and team Motley.”
“You came highly recommended… Nothing was too much trouble and you explained everything perfectly. You're a professional at what you do and no one should hesitate to contact you.”
“Professionalism, quality and absolutely delighted with the stunning results Jamie and team have once again produced! This is the second website Jamie and the team at Motley have produced for me and the care, advice and support they have put into the process is second to none. After years as a Motley customer I can also say that the ongoing support and interest in my business is invaluable and appreciated.”
“Motley provided a professional & timely service with setting up our Swyx-solutions website. We received clear advice and support every step of the way. I always refer my colleagues to Motley for their website needs.”

Where Your Website Lives
Your website runs on a physical computer, in a building, drawing power around the clock. Most owners have never thought about whose building it is. It turns out to repay a few minutes of attention.
Most of What You're Buying Isn't on the Quote
Two quotes for the same website can be nowhere near each other, and the numbers are the only part that lines up. Most of what you're buying was never a line item. Here's what sits around the build, and how to compare two quotes that don't seem to describe the same job.
The Emails Your Website Should Send Without You
Your website is probably silent the moment someone leaves it. A handful of automatic emails will do a week of polite follow-up while you get on with something else, and most businesses have none of them switched on.
An SEO Consultant Reviewed Our CMS. Here's What Changed by Teatime
An SEO consultant spent Tuesday morning in our CMS and sent me her notes. Four of them were built, tested and released by the afternoon. It's the clearest example I've had of what owning the platform means for the people whose sites run on it.
