Web design Wiltshire
A WordPress web design agency built by SEO people, not the other way round — so search visibility is part of the build from day one, not an afterthought.
When eco seo started back in 2006, as the name suggests, SEO was the focus. But the number of poorly structured, technically bad business websites we encountered along the way was genuinely shocking — so we started building websites too. Whether you want a brand new site or an existing one refreshed, you’ll get lightning fast page load times, logical navigation, and the technical SEO foundations (schema, meta tags, clean markup) built in from the outset, whether you plan to run an SEO campaign now, later, or not at all.
New website builds
Tell us exactly what you want, hand us sketches, or give us a rough idea and your brand identity — we’ll design several page layouts around it.
Refreshing old websites
A fresh look, new pages, or a full update to modern SEO practice — without losing what’s already working.
Ecommerce web design
Full online shops built on WordPress and WooCommerce, from simple product pages to more complex catalogues.
Wiltshire based
Based in the Wiltshire countryside between Swindon, Calne, Devizes and Marlborough — low overheads, and we can pop in when it helps.
SEO from the outset
Being an SEO agency first, your online presence is at the core of every site we build, not bolted on afterwards.
Startup & small business
Affordable, scalable web design packages specifically for startups and small businesses on a tight budget.
An online shop for a festival & club clothing brand — bright, bold products, but we talked them into simpler product pages so visitors weren’t distracted from buying. Take a look at Get Spangled.
Popular features included in our designs
Back-end SEO taken care of as we build; mobile friendly pages that render correctly on any device; flip boxes, galleries and sliders to make images stand out; social media integration. Every site is built to convert visitors into customers, not just look good.

WordPress started life as blogging software, but it’s grown into a genuinely flexible content management system that now runs a huge share of the web — from personal blogs through to large ecommerce catalogues. We build almost exclusively on WordPress because it strikes the right balance between flexibility for us as developers and simplicity for you afterwards: once your site is live, you can log in and change text, swap images, add pages or publish a blog post yourself, without waiting on us or paying an hourly rate for small edits.
It also means we’re not tied to one theme or page builder. We can start from scratch with genuinely custom-coded pages, adapt an existing theme, or migrate a site from another platform such as Wix, Squarespace or an ageing bespoke build — carrying across your existing content, URLs and search rankings wherever possible so you don’t lose ground in Google while you’re moving to a better foundation.
Speed and technical foundations matter more than they used to
Google has made page speed and mobile usability genuine ranking factors, not just a nice-to-have, and slow, bloated websites lose visitors before they’ve even seen what’s on the page. We keep our builds lean — only the plugins actually needed, images properly compressed, and clean underlying code — rather than stacking page-builder plugins on top of each other until the site crawls. That technical discipline is exactly what you’d expect from a business that started out as an SEO agency rather than a design studio.
How we build your website
Brief & planning
We talk through what you need the site to achieve, who your customers are, and what pages and functionality make sense — then map out a sitemap and rough page layouts before any design work begins.
Design & build
We design around your brand (or help develop one if you don’t have it yet), then build the pages on WordPress with the SEO foundations — clean markup, schema, sensible URLs — in place from the start rather than bolted on later.
Content & review
We add your content, images and any existing copy, then send it over for you to review and request changes. This is usually the stage where a project takes the longest, simply because it depends on how quickly content and feedback come back to us.
Testing & launch
We test across devices and browsers, check load speed, forms and links, then go live. We’ll also show you around the WordPress admin area so you’re comfortable making your own updates afterwards.
Common questions about our web design
Most people asking these questions already have a website — usually one they’re either a little embarrassed by, or paying someone else just to change a sentence on.
How long does a website design project take?
Usually around 2 months to go live once you say “go”, though it depends on the size of the project and how quickly we receive your content and feedback.
Will my website be built with SEO in mind?
Yes — unlike most web design agencies, we started as an SEO company. Every site we build has technical SEO factors, navigation and page structure considered from the outset.
Can I update the website myself once it’s live?
Yes. We build on WordPress specifically so you can log in and update text, images, pages and blog posts yourself, without needing to come back to us for every small change.
Do you only work with businesses in Wiltshire?
Most of our clients are local, but we design websites for clients across the UK — being Wiltshire based just keeps our overheads low, which keeps your costs down too.
