CIE Oxford delivers premium English courses to international students, but their website was trapped in GoDaddy Page Builder—so restrictive that even simple updates required technical help. The dated design was costing them enrolments.

Challenge

ATG Oxford has crafted premium walking holidays across Europe since 1979, but their aging website didn't reflect the quality of their experiences. Over 60% of traffic came from mobile, yet the site was slow with broken layouts. The booking process frustrated customers—complex itineraries with multiple dates and options left visitors overwhelmed, abandoning checkout mid-flow.

Solution

We rebuilt the platform mobile-first, dramatically improving page speed. The new site showcases European destinations with full-width photography and clear trip categorisation. Each itinerary features day-by-day breakdowns with transparent pricing. A custom booking system with Stripe payments, plus Cloudflare edge caching for their international customer base, has transformed mobile conversion rates.

Challenge

A specialist footwear retailer competing against high-street giants needed a website that could punch above its weight. Their generic template failed to convey product quality, and size anxiety was causing high return rates.

Solution

Custom WooCommerce store with premium photography and comprehensive size guides that dramatically reduced returns. Smart filtering, elegant design, and streamlined checkout with Apple Pay and Klarna has significantly boosted conversions.

Oxford Web Services have been brilliant, very knowledgeable and made a totally amazing website for our company.

Challenge

Excellent reputation through word-of-mouth, but invisible online. When homeowners searched for landscapers in Oxford, competitors with inferior work but better websites were winning enquiries. No way to showcase their impressive portfolio of garden transformations.

Solution

Image-focused WordPress site that lets their work speak for itself. Portfolio showcases stunning before-and-after transformations, service pages target local searches, and strategic quote forms capture leads. Now ranking for key local search terms across Oxfordshire.

Fantastic service from website concept to completion. Oxford Web Services helped shape my ideas into a design which has helped my business to grow. Highly recommend.

FAQ

Frequently
Asked Questions

We answer the most common questions. If you don't find what you're looking for, get in touch.

Ask a Question
We work with local businesses, professional services firms, charities, and established companies. Project scope ranges from brochure sites through to complex web applications. What matters is a clear brief and genuine commitment to the project.
Every project starts with a discovery phase where we understand your business, audience, and objectives. From there we move into design, development, testing, and launch, with training so you can manage your site confidently. Brochure sites typically take 4-6 weeks, business websites 8-12 weeks, and ecommerce or applications 12-20 weeks. We provide fixed-price proposals after an initial consultation, and the timeline depends largely on content readiness and feedback cycles.
Yes. Our care plans cover security updates, backups, monitoring, and technical support tailored to your site's needs. You get priority response for issues, and training is included with every project so you're never left guessing. Development work beyond the care plan is quoted separately.
Yes. We regularly integrate with CRMs, payment gateways, booking systems, email marketing platforms, accounting software, and other business tools. We work alongside internal teams, external agencies, or handle everything independently. We adapt to how you prefer to work.
Discretion is standard practice. We work under NDA when requested and don't publicise client relationships without permission. Your business data, analytics, and strategy discussions stay between us. We never share client information with competitors or use your project as a case study without your explicit consent.
A clear idea of what you want the website to achieve, who your customers are, and a realistic budget. We don't need a detailed specification, that's what the briefing stage is for. We do need a decision-maker involved from the start. Projects stall when the person giving feedback isn't the person signing off.
Fixed-price proposals based on an agreed specification. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. We take a deposit to secure your project slot, with staged payments tied to milestones. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation.
Yes, completely. You own the code, the design, the content, and the domain. If you ever want to move on, we hand everything over. We don't hold websites hostage. If you stay, it should be because you want to, not because you have to.
We always assess your needs, requirements, and objectives before selecting the right technology. For bespoke, high-performance sites we use modern frameworks like Next.js and React deployed on fast edge networks. Many of our clients prefer to manage their own websites without needing a developer, so we also build extensively with WordPress and straightforward HTML sites, whatever suits your business best. We avoid page builders and generic templates regardless of the platform. Every site is custom-built for performance, security, and long-term maintainability. Not sure what's right for you? Read our guide on choosing the right CMS.
We'll assess it honestly. Sometimes a targeted refresh delivers better ROI than starting over. New design, better performance, improved SEO, same core structure. If you're on WordPress, we can work with your existing setup rather than forcing a platform change. Other times the underlying technology is genuinely holding you back and a rebuild is the smarter investment. We'll tell you which applies and why.
“Oxford Web Services have been fantastic – supporting us each step of the way, from initial concept all the way through to delivery. All I can say, is that after many years of commissioning numerous new websites, this has easily been the best experience – and at a great price too. Thank you for making this such an easy, cost effective and successful experience for us.”
