Boutique Expertise Over Full-Service Noise
We don’t have a specific style, or use themes, we custom design all web designs around your unique requirements. With UI/UX best practises always at the core of what we do, your users will be happy too. When we develop your WordPress website, we also make sure your website is accessible, works on all devices, and is built with SEO in mind.
Web Design and Custom WordPress Development in Oxfordshire
Good UX, UI and web design leads to improved customer satisfaction, higher conversion rates, and stronger brand loyalty. A well-designed website or application can drive engagement and sales, while poor design can result in lost opportunities. Get it right from the start.
I’ve worked with Hexagon Webworks since 2015 and they have been fantastic. They are super responsive, essential when you are trading from your website, but were equally patient with us as we were evolving our requirements. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to take their website to the next level and have someone trustworthy manage it.

Our Process
While our studio is based in Wantage, we serve clients right across the Thames Valley—from Oxford city centre to Abingdon, Banbury, and beyond. Whether we integrate with your team remotely or meet locally, we act as your digital partner, not just a vendor.
Discovery & Research
Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance, the 5 P’s (7 if you’re Army, but don’t Google it). Simply put, making sure we’re all on the same page and know what we’re designing, and for who.
Sitemaps & User Journeys
Mapping out how to navigate the website and where all pages should live in the hierarchy, then making sure the user journey works and that users know where they are at all times on the site.
Wireframing & MVP’s
Learning from the previous phase, we map out what goes on every type of page and in what order, making sure it all is easy to understand and allows for a user experience without friction. This can lead to either a wireframe or, even a MVP.
UI & Web Design
Let the fun, and most important stage of most project, begin! We design your website (looking sensational of course) and then present a full demo of it either in person or online.
We’ll work through various iterations to lock down a cohesive design that works technically speaking as well as with your brand.
Creative Builds
When we are all happy with the designs, we’ll hand it over to one of our in-house developers to bring your website to life. When developing, we’ll carefully consider how you need to work with your content as well as optimise your site for SEO, and making it lightning fast to load.

FAQ
A typical web design project for an Oxford SME usually takes between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the scope and technical requirements. Because we focus on a “Creative Build” that includes custom UI/UX and rigorous speed and SEO optimisation, we prioritise a thorough Discovery & Research phase to ensure the final product delivers a high return on investment. Our web designs studio in Wantage maintains clear communication throughout the timeline to ensure your launch coincides with your business milestones.
Custom WordPress web design offers superior performance, security, and scalability compared to pre-built themes, which often carry “bloat” that slows down your site. Also, more importantly, a custom web design is tailored around your unique content and site structure and can be optimised for the best possible user experience.
Our Oxford-based design team designs and builds every website from scratch to ensure it is lightning-fast and perfectly aligned with your brand’s UI/UX requirements. This custom approach is essential for ambitious SMEs looking to outrank competitors and achieve higher conversion rates through better accessibility and speed.
The cost of web design in Oxford typically varies based on the complexity of the project, ranging from a few thousand pounds for a bespoke SME site to larger investments for complex, high-performance platforms. Hexagon Webworks provides transparent, value-driven pricing based on a comprehensive 5-stage process:
- Discovery & Research: Defining your unique requirements.
- Sitemaps & User Journeys: Planning the site hierarchy.
