Who are Webgloss Web Design Hampshire?

At Webgloss we are more than designers. We are computer programmers. We have extensive IT backgrounds and have programmed hundreds of complex systems, mainly on the Unix / Oracle platform. With years of systems administration experience, we are creators of software, database administrators and systems analysts as well as being website designers.

All websites have to be hosted on the Internet and there are numerous technical situations that can cause problems for the inexperienced developer. Our backgrounds ensure that we can easily sort out any technical issues, whether they are problems with servers, websites or domains.

Our main base is in Gosport in Hampshire and our web design & hosting company was established by Jane Renfree 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.

Jane began her IT career on mainframe computers programming in Cobol and was employed full time for many years programming statistical systems in Oracle RDBMS on Sun / Unix platforms. She spent 15 years programming and designing 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. With over 10 years of professional web designing, Jane now specialises in search engine optimisation for Webgloss.

As a successful Internet design team, 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 want your business to succeed

We really do want your business to succeed. Whether you are a sole trader just starting up or an established company in need of a new website, we can help and advise. Even if you are only at the preliminary stages of establishing what is necessary for an online presence, you may contact us for an informal chat.

We will speak to you in English without any trace of 'tech speak' and we will discuss every stage of the design process with you. We want you to understand what we are doing and we are happy to answer any questions that you may have.

It can be extremely confusing when you know that your business needs a website but you have no idea where to start. So many web design companies charge a huge sum for the design and then add on costs for email accounts, search engine submissions and hosting. When you calculate the total cost you may find that your whole marketing budget has disappeared!

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 a small fortune, been ill-advised and after 6 months have had to start again!

Our aim is to work with you and to still be here for you long after the design process. We will not advise that you need expensive 'add-ons' and you will not pay extra for the things you need to get a website up and running.

Webgloss offers more for less

We provide a professionally designed business website for your company with no initial outlay for the design.

We believe that making it easy and inexpensive for businesses to have an online presence is a necessity; why should you have to pay thousands for a well designed, professional website? With Webgloss you can be online after paying just £20 for your domain name and your first month's package fee.

Our packages range from just £10 a month for a single page site (plus free site map and links pages) with our most popular package being £19 a month for a four page site. We work pretty fast too - our clients are normally online within 6 weeks - and we optimise your site as many times as is necessary to give it the best possible chance within the Google search engine.

With hosting on a fast business quality server, search engine submissions and up to 6 email accounts included in your package, Webgloss offers you an excellent opportunity to get your business online for minimum cost.

Take a look at our packages page to see the detail of what we offer.

Providing everything you need to get 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.

Webgloss design techniques incorporate the latest graphics software packages to stay bang up to date with technology and we also track the Google search engine algorithms to ensure that we are doing everything possible to give your website its optimum search engine positioning.

Our sites are hosted on fast business servers. There are many cheaper server options available but we feel that the reliability and speed of sites is of paramount importance - there is no point in having a wonderful site on a slow server as people will move on to another if they have to wait for your site to appear. Other servers may not be set up for business websites and, apart from being slow, there will also be times when they are off line.

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.

We look forward to working with you

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.

Our package charges are on our website for all to see and there are absolutely no hidden charges.

Webgloss does not charge any initial design fee, making it easy for you to get online - the only initial cost is £20 for registering or transferring your domain name.

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.
