Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers in Basingstoke? A website brief can be very helpful, both for you and the various designers, if anything it is a starting point.

Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:
There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.
There are over 30 agencies, both in the town centre and on its outskirts. Many of these designers are small independent agencies, and a few offer web facilities alongside other design services, such as PR, graphics and advertising services.
Working with a local supplier is always better than working with one who is several hours car journey away, as there is a commitment to local business.
By working with a designer in or around the town, a meeting can be arranged with relative ease. This gives an opportunity to come to know them, for them to get to know you and to learn what your objectives are. Of course with COVID, meetings face to face are very dangerous, therefore ZOOM is a safer option.
This leads on to experience; by using someone who knows your market and your industry, you should end up with a much more effective design, than from one who has no knowledge of your industry.
From the many web design companies in Hampshire, using one that knows your industry is only logical.

Basingstoke was always a sleepy Hampshire town and home to Thorneycroft back in 1898.
It was targeted by German bombers during the Second World War, and received many hits by the Luftwaffe. After the war, the town boomed as a result of the London overspill, and population numbers shot up from 25,000 just after the war, to over 100,000 today.
The railways and the canal helped it back in the early days, turn from a small town mentioned in the Domesday Book, to a busy centre of commerce.
It plays host to a range of companies that have major offices in the town, such as Motorola, AA, Compaq and Wella, owing to its close proximity to the capital and cheaper rates.
