Why Oxford SMEs Choose Hexagon Webworks
Many agencies promise “stunning” design, but few deliver the technical precision required to succeed in today’s search landscape. Here is how we differentiate ourselves from other Oxford web design agencies:

I’ve worked with Hexagon Webworks since 2015 and they have been fantastic. They are super responsive, essential when you are trading from your website, but were equally patient with us as we were evolving our requirements. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to take their website to the next level and have someone trustworthy manage it.

Our Process
We work with you to make sure you get the best return on investment.
Discovery & Research
Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance, the 5 P’s (7 if you’re Army, but don’t Google it). Simply put, making sure we’re all on the same page and know what we’re designing, and for who.
Sitemaps & User Journeys
Mapping out how to navigate the website and where all pages should live in the hierarchy, then making sure the user journey works and that users know where they are at all times on the site.
Wireframing & MVP’s
Learning from the previous phase, we map out what goes on every type of page and in what order, making sure it all is easy to understand and allows for a user experience without friction. This can lead to either a wireframe or, even a MVP.
UI & Web Design
Let the fun, and most important stage of most project, begin! We design your website (looking sensational of course) and then present a full demo of it either in person or online.
We’ll work through various iterations to lock down a cohesive design that works technically speaking as well as with your brand.
Creative Builds
When we are all happy with the designs, we’ll hand it over to one of our in-house developers to bring your website to life. When developing, we’ll carefully consider how you need to work with your content as well as optimise your site for SEO, and making it lightning fast to load.
