Somerset Web Services: Building Websites That Work the Way People Now Think
Established in 2002 and based in the heart of Taunton, Somerset Web Services has been supporting local businesses with their websites for over two decades.
Known for stepping in when websites aren’t performing as they should, the team has built a reputation for turning around slow, confusing or underperforming sites and making them work properly again. Their newly launched website is a clear example of this approach in action, built to reflect how people now engage with content online.
“It’s not just about how a website looks anymore,” says the team. “It’s about how quickly someone understands it, and whether it makes sense the moment they land on it.”
With attention spans shrinking and AI increasingly influencing how content is interpreted, traditional approaches to website design are starting to show their age. Long pages, heavy layouts and keyword driven content are giving way to something much simpler and easier to engage with.
Somerset Web Services has embraced this shift. Their work now centres on structure, speed and ease of use, building websites that are straightforward to navigate, quick to load and immediately understandable, both for visitors and for the systems that now help guide them.
Alongside this, the team has developed particular expertise in accessibility and compliance. They build and manage websites for town and parish councils, where meeting strict accessibility standards is essential, giving clients confidence that their websites are inclusive and fit for purpose.
The result is not just better-performing websites, but more effective businesses behind them.
“We’re not here to over complicate things,” they say. “We’re here to make sure your website actually does its job.”
For Somerset businesses looking to make sense of a changing digital world, that approach is proving to be exactly what’s needed.
