Sandbanks Digital is run by Elliot and Dan — two engineers with five-plus years each shipping production software. We build bespoke websites and custom web apps for UK businesses, direct from a desk in Poole. No offshore developers, no account managers, no handoffs.
Two senior engineers, both based in Dorset. We split design and build between us, but we both speak to every client.
Co-founder of Sandbanks Digital. Five-plus years building software for the web — from production Next.js apps to bespoke internal tools — now applying that engineering background to local Dorset businesses who deserve more than a templated site.
Co-founder of Sandbanks Digital. Five-plus years working and studying in tech, with a focus on shipping software that gets used. Leads design and front-end build on Sandbanks Digital projects, sweating the details most agencies skip.
A small set of rules that shape every project we take on.
We build in Next.js and host everything ourselves on our managed infrastructure. No page builder subscriptions, no CMS platform fees, no Wix or Squarespace monthly charges disguised as a platform.
Brief us once and you keep talking to the same two people through to launch and beyond. No tickets, no triage queues, no chasing an account manager.
We do not outsource design, development or copy. Work stays in Dorset. That keeps quality high and turnarounds short.
Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres and modern hosting. Sites that load fast, rank well and stay maintainable for years — not a bloated WordPress install bolted together with plugins.
Every quote is fixed and itemised. If scope shifts, we say so before we work, not after. No surprise invoices.
Most websites go live within four to eight weeks. MVPs ship in six to twelve. We move quickly because we are a small team without committee approval cycles.
Four stages, fixed price, fixed timeline. Most projects ship in four to eight weeks from kickoff.
A free call to understand the business, the customers and the outcome you need. We come back with a clear scope, a fixed price and a timeline.
We design in the browser, not in Figma silos. You see a working prototype quickly, with real type, real spacing and real content.
We build the site, integrate the tools you need (Stripe, calendars, CRMs, feeds) and ship to a staging URL you can review at every stage.
We handle DNS, analytics, search console and go-live. After launch you stay on a £99/mo retainer for hosting, updates and priority support.
Sandbanks Digital was founded by Elliot and Dan, two Dorset-based engineers with five-plus years each shipping production software. We run the studio together as a two-person team — no account managers, no junior handoffs. The person you brief is the person who builds your project.
Limited company registration is in progress. We operate openly under the Sandbanks Digital brand from Poole, Dorset, with UK bank details, a UK contract, and a UK phone number. We are happy to share documentation once incorporation completes.
We are based in Poole, Dorset. Our work covers the wider Dorset area — Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ferndown, Wareham and beyond — but we work remotely with clients across the UK too.
No. Every line of code, every design decision and every client conversation is handled by the two founders. We do not use offshore developers, white-label agencies or content mills. If you hire Sandbanks Digital, you get Elliot and Dan.
