About us

We are a team of web designers, graphic designers and computer programmers based in Gosport & Lee on the Solent, Hampshire (close to Fareham between Southampton and Portsmouth).

Our designers have, collectively, over 30 years of computer programming experience and we specialise in designing and hosting web sites for businesses requiring a professional site that doesn't cost the earth!

We offer affordable web design and our most popular web design package is just £22 a month. We have packages available from £10 a month and all include six email accounts, hosting on fast business servers and search engine submissions. Take a look at our website packages page to view the detail of each package and our portfolio page to view a selection of current client sites.

All of our designs are hand coded from scratch - we never use software that generates code because hand coded HTML is more efficient and can be optimised more effectively for search engine positioning. You may choose a design for your website on our web designs page.

We have been designing websites since 1996

Our web design & hosting company was created by Jane Renfree in 1996 and has become an established and trusted company over the last 11 years. Jane has a long history of programming experience having started in 1980 as a Cobol mainframe programmer - she fondly remembers the days of punched cards and hand written code!

Prior to working full time for Webgloss, Jane spent many years programming statistical systems in Oracle RDBMS on Sun / Unix platforms and has 15 years experience of PC based programming languages. With over 11 years of professional Internet design experience, Jane now specialises in search engine optimisation for Webgloss.

As a successful Internet design team, Webgloss has been creating business web sites since 1996 - with this wealth of expertise we can get 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.

Our aim is to work with you and to still be here for you long after the design process. Every week we hear of companies who have had their websites designed but are no longer able to get in touch with their designers. They are left high and dry with a website that they cannot update. Webgloss clients have the reassurance that we are available to update and change their websites when required.

We offer more for less

Take a look at our packages page to choose which package is right for you. Our most popular package is £22 a month but they start from just £10 a month. Your business will be able to have up to 6 separate email accounts to your domain and you will be able to collect your email wherever you may connect to the Internet, eg. when on holiday abroad. Also included are search engine submissions at no extra charge.

We hope that you will compare the package that Webgloss offers with other design packages available - you will find that we offer an extremely competitive package for your business website.

We cover everything your business needs to get online

The main reason for choosing Webgloss to design and host your business web site is that we will produce a professional, low cost website for your business.

Webgloss design techniques incorporate the latest graphics software packages and technology and our service covers all aspects of implementing your business website from domain registration right through to hosting.

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.

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

If you decide that you would like to find out more or that you would like us to design a site for your business please either contact us or follow the process given in detail on our steps page.

We look forward to working with you

We hope that you will compare what we offer to what else is available and we feel sure that we offer honest, competitive website packages that are usually far more cost-effective than others. Contact us if you have any questions and to find out how easy it is to get your business online!
