We are Shout Websites, a web design company based in Newton Abbot with over 26 years of experience building websites for businesses across South Devon and beyond. We design, build, host, and look after websites that are fast, professional, and built to help your business grow.
The website you are looking at right now scores 95+ out of 100 on Google PageSpeed. That matters because Google ranks faster websites higher in search results, and visitors leave slow websites before they even see what you offer. We can build your business a ShoutFast website that performs exactly like this one, or a full-featured WordPress site with Divi 5 for e-commerce and custom functionality.
Why Choose Shout Websites for Your Newton Abbot Web Design?
We have been building websites from Newton Abbot since 1999. That is over 26 years of working with local businesses, learning what actually makes a difference online, and keeping up with every change Google has thrown at us along the way. A lot of web designers have come and gone in that time. We are still here because we do good work and we look after our clients properly.
Most of the businesses we work with are based in and around Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Bovey Tracey, and the wider Teignbridge area, though we also look after clients in Exeter, Torquay, and further afield across Devon. We understand what it takes to get a local business noticed online because we are a local business ourselves. When you search for “web design Newton Abbot” and find us, that is not an accident. It is the same local SEO approach we use for every client site we build.
What sets us apart is speed. Not just how quickly we turn a project around, but how fast the finished website actually loads. Our ShoutFast system builds pure static HTML websites that score 95 or above on Google PageSpeed and load in under a second. Google rewards fast websites with better rankings, and visitors stick around instead of hitting the back button. If your business needs something more complex, like an online shop, a booking system, or a members area, we build on WordPress with the Divi 5 builder, which gives you a powerful site you can update yourself.
Every website comes with Samsung SSD hosting, SSL certificates, daily backups, ongoing support, and personal training videos recorded on your own site so you know exactly how everything works. We handle the technical side so you can get on with running your business. Websites start from just £250, and we are always happy to have a chat about what would work best for you. Get in touch for a free consultation and we will show you exactly what we can do.

From First Call to Launch — How We Build Your Website
We keep things simple. It starts with a conversation, usually over the phone or over a coffee if you are local to Newton Abbot. We want to understand your business, what you need from a website, and what your budget looks like. There is no hard sell. If we think a basic site will do the job, we will tell you that. If we think you need something more, we will explain why.
Once we have agreed on a plan, we get to work. We handle everything: the design, the build, the hosting setup, domain configuration, email, SSL, and all the bits that most people would rather not think about. You will see your site taking shape as we go and can give feedback at every stage. We do not disappear for six weeks and then reveal something you did not ask for.
When the site goes live, that is not the end. We record screen-share training videos walking through your specific website so you can update content, add blog posts, and manage enquiries with confidence. And because we host and maintain the site ourselves right here in the UK on Samsung SSD servers, you have got someone to call when you need a hand. Our average response time is around two hours, not two days.
Whether you are a plumber in Kingsteignton who needs a simple five-page site, a retailer in Ashburton looking to sell online, or a sports club in South Devon that needs a hub for members and events, we have done it all before. We have built websites for trades, charities, schools, consultancies, holiday lets, and everything in between. Have a look at some of our recent work above, and if you like what you see, give us a call on 07887 988780.
