Property websites are alway a pleasure to work on - more so luxury properties in Turkey, with a wide array of beautiful photos available to use.   As is expected, full width, impactful imagery was crucial throughout the website.

Web design in Wiltshire

Ash Tree Design are a team of developers and web designers based in Marlborough in Wiltshire. We work alongside a network of local developers, copy writers, film makers and graphic designers, helping companies of all sizes to reach their online potential. Primarily run by Phil Wimbledon, a web specialist with almost 20 years experience in the industry, we pride ourselves on a friendly, relaxed, yet professional approach to business, offering fair and competitive pricing and more than 15 years experience working with and helping local Wiltshire businesses.

“I have to say how impressed I am with Phil’s attention to detail, wealth of ideas and endless patience. Redoing our website has been for me a massive step into the unknown and an area that I struggle with but without Phil we would have never got anywhere close to the superb website he has designed for us. I cannot recommend him enough.”

Richard Ash, Image Logo

“Being in design and interiors, the look of the site was important to us. Phil designed a great looking online shop in Woocommerce which is a great showcase for our business, and he is extremely responsive to queries and requests for support.”

Carole Gannon, Blue Isle

“We’ve used Ash Tree Design over the last few years and found them to be very professional and really helpful. Phil listened to our brief and delivered a fantastic website for us. Really recommend!”

Dan Turner, Puretech

“As a photographer the look and feel of my site was so important, Phil exceeded my expectations. Phil listened and guided my through, always available to discuss and help. Exceedingly professional and friendly would recommend completely.”

Laura Miller, Photographer

“Worked with Phil and the team on a number of projects and have nothing but good things to say about them. Great work quality and delivery and at a good price. Can not recommend enough.”

Lucien Wynn, Joiin

“We have worked with Ash Tree Design for a number of years and they are highly recommended. It is rare to find a supplier who responds quickly these days. Those that do, tend to reply to sales related emails rather than support queries. But, Ash Tree Design respond very fast to any communication. ”

Matt Roberts, YouCom

Frequently asked questions

Commissioning a new web site may seem like a daunting undertaking. We’ve prepared a short collection of useful, jargon busting Q&A’s, which should hopefully add a little clarity.

Websites can range significantly in terms of scale and complexity – we do not have a single flat fee, but quote on a project-by-project basis. Please contact us for a detailed quote.

Websites can range significantly in terms of scale and complexity, but most take approximately a month to design and build.

All hosting companies offer a domain name availability checker and domain registration service. Fasthost.co.uk, 123-Reg.co.uk and GoDaddy are some of the more well-known suppliers, and there are many more nationally who offer identical services.

Yes, we can. You can view a range of our past logos on our logo portfolio page.

Yes, you will own the website in its entirety once launched and all fees have been processed.

If you need to source images, we recommend shutterstock.com or istock.com. They both have large collection of royalty free and licensed print quality photography and graphics.
Will I be tied into a contract after my website is built?
No, we do not tie our clients into any ongoing contracts. We do however offer an entirely optional support arrangement to clients after the completion of their site.

We offer support to all clients on a pay-as-you-go basis. For customers with WordPress sites, we also offer an optional quarterly software update service.
