# Web Design in Oxford

Source: https://dijitulwebdesign.co.uk/locations/oxford/

> Oxford spinouts, publishers, charities, hotels and language schools can commission a custom website from dijitul. We design and build sites remotely from our Mansfield base, with accessibility and page speed built in from day one. Small business websites start from £250 + VAT, and ecommerce websites start from £750 + VAT.

Oxford's economy is shaped by its universities more than almost any other UK city. The University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University are major employers, and their colleges and departments support printers, caterers, software developers and building contractors. Oxford University Press has published in the city for centuries, and the city remains a centre for publishing and education businesses.

Research has produced a fast-growing cluster of spinouts in life sciences, biotechnology, medical devices and software, many based at the Oxford Science Park and Begbroke Science Park, with more at Harwell and Milton Park in the wider county. A spinout website has a specific job: explain complex science in plain words for investors, partners and future staff, without overclaiming. It usually needs a clear technology page, team and advisor profiles, news, careers and a contact route for partners.

Publishers, consultancies and charities need well-structured WordPress sites with good editing tools, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA and fast performance even with large archives of articles or reports. Charities and research foundations often need donation forms and event pages too.

Tourism is constant, with visitors drawn to the colleges, the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum. Hotels, restaurants, tour operators and language schools need booking-led sites, often in more than one language, with prices and availability easy to find on a phone. Language schools in particular benefit from course pages that are properly translated rather than machine widgets.

Healthcare around the John Radcliffe Hospital and manufacturing such as BMW's Plant Oxford at Cowley add supplier and clinic businesses with their own needs. Local search is competitive and visitors are discerning, so clear writing and fast pages count. See charity websites and multilingual websites.

### Can you build a website for an Oxford spinout?

Yes. We build spinout sites that explain the science clearly for investors and partners, with technology, team, news and careers pages. Most fit the Business package from £500 + VAT, which includes copywriting help to turn technical material into plain language.

### Can you make a website accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA?

Yes, it is our standard. We check colour contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, headings, alt text and form labels, and test with automated tools and by hand. That matters for charities, education businesses and anyone serving the public.

### Do you cover the wider Oxfordshire area?

Yes. We work with businesses in Oxford and across Oxfordshire, including Abingdon, Didcot, Witney, Kidlington and Bicester. We work remotely from Mansfield, so the prices and timescales are the same wherever you are.

### Can a language school site be multilingual?

Yes. We build multilingual sites with separate URLs for each language, a clear switcher and correct hreflang tags. Course pages, prices and booking forms can all be translated, with your team or translator supplying the text.
