Who are Webgloss Web Design?

Based in Gosport in Hampshire, our web design & hosting company was established by Jane Renfree, a computer programmer, over 10 years ago.

It has now grown to become a company with clients who have been trusting us to look after their business websites for many years and it is still run by Jane.

Jane began her IT career in 1980 programming payroll systems in Cobol on mainframe computers. Prior to setting up Webgloss she was employed full-time for over 16 years programming statistical analysis systems in Oracle RDBMS on Sun / Unix platforms. This included the design and implementation of Sun server and PC based systems alongside real time systems analysis and database administration (DBA). Her programming experience includes Unix and Oracle PL/SQL as well as many other languages.

Now, with over 10 years of professional web design experience, Jane runs Webgloss Web Design in Hampshire and specialises in search engine optimisation for our client websites.

As a successful Internet design firm, Webgloss has been creating business web sites for over 10 years - with this wealth of expertise we are able to put your business online quickly whilst making the whole process easy for you.

We won't try to sell you a website

At Webgloss we are computer programmers who became web designers. We don't 'sell' because we don't like people trying to sell things to us. We will never try to persuade you to use our services - instead we'll listen to your requirements, explain what we could do for you... and then we'll leave you alone. You won't receive any follow up sales calls and there will be absolutely no pressure to have a website with us.

If you phone us you will speak to Jane and there will be no confusing techie jargon. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have as we want you to understand what we are doing. Despite being programmers we're pretty good at communicating!

We offer an affordable service with no hidden charges

Our business model is to design websites specifically for the Google search engine and keep them affordable for all. We want you to stay in business and there won't be any huge unexpected payments with our web design service.

It's entirely possible to have a fresh, modern website which is kept bang up to date by changing its text once every two months for just £22 a month.

Unlike many web design companies we don't charge a huge sum for the design and then add on costs for search engine submissions and hosting. When you calculate the total cost you may find that your whole marketing budget has disappeared!

Instead, we provide a professionally designed business website for your company with no initial outlay for the design. We make it even more affordable by including all hosting, on fast business quality servers (because the speed of the server affects the speed of your website), search engine submissions, Google optimisation and 2 monthly updates in your £22 a month fee. Your domain name is registered in your name (this matters too - you should be the legal owner of your company's domain name) and this is charged at £20 for the registration or transfer to our servers.

Perhaps you feel that 'you get what you pay for'? Well, that can be true but we have businesses contacting us each week with tales of how they paid a small fortune for a website that is now obselete. Many are completely disillusioned with the whole web design process. They have paid expensive design fees, been ill-advised and after 6 months have had to start all over again! Many had websites with web design companies that are no longer in business.

We'll still be here once you're online

The main reason for choosing Webgloss to design and host your business web site is that we will produce a professionally designed, inexpensive website for your business but an important consideration is the support you will receive once your website is up and running. Our aim is to work with you and to still be here for you long after the design process.

We believe that we offer an honest, low-cost web design service that gives you a professional design at a fraction of the cost that is often charged elsewhere and we hope that you will compare what we offer to packages offered by other web design companies.

From the design layout, creating a header with your company name if needed and registering the domain name of your choice, right through to hosting and maintaining your website once it is online, Webgloss covers everything you need. All you have to provide is the content. We make it simple to get your business online.

Although we are based in Hampshire, many of the businesses for whom we design and host web sites are based elsewhere. We operate with email, post and by telephone, and so are able to design a site for you wherever your business is based.
