About Shout Websites Ltd | Your Local Digital Partners in Newton Abbot
26+ years building Devon business websites
Shout Websites Ltd has been building websites for businesses across South Devon for over a quarter of a century. Our roots are in Newton Abbot — the office is on the edge of town with the Decoy Park five minutes one way and the A380 five minutes the other — and our clients sit across Newton Abbot, Torbay, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Ashburton, Bovey Tracey, Exeter, Totnes and the wider Teignbridge district.
We are a small agency by design. The whole team works in-house, the design and development happens here, and the person who first answers your call is generally the person who works on your project. That structure is rare in the industry now and it is the bit clients value most.
What we specialise in
Two technologies, deeply:
- WordPress — the most widely used content management system in the world, the one we have built thousands of sites on, and the one that gives our clients lasting independence (your site is yours, not locked to a proprietary builder)
- Divi 5 — the visual page builder we use to design every site. Fully licensed, professionally configured, and trained for handover so you can update content yourself without needing us for every small change
We choose those two because they work together to deliver fast, manageable, future-proof sites without the lock-in of platforms like Wix, Squarespace or Shopify.
How we work
Every project starts with a conversation. Free, no commitment, half an hour on the phone or in the Newton Abbot office. We figure out whether what you need is what we do — and we say so directly if it isn't.
If we're a fit, the build runs in four phases:
- Strategy and copy planning — what the site needs to do, who it serves, what each page is for
- Design and build — happens in-house on Apple Macs, in Divi 5, on our own staging servers
- Review, copy and launch — you see it, comment, we iterate, we go live
- Handover and training — one-on-one walkthrough so you can manage the site yourself
Most starter projects launch within four weeks of sign-off.
What we charge
Two simple options:
- Starter websites from £250 — a small business website covering the essentials, ready to launch
- Retainer at £300/month — ongoing hosting, updates, content support and local SEO
Larger projects (e-commerce shops, membership sites, multi-location businesses) are quoted per project. There are no hidden tiers — every quote is written down and explained.
Tools we use
The technical stack we run for clients:
- WordPress and Divi 5 with our agency-licensed plugin library (Divi Pixel, Divi Life, Divi Next)
- Gravity Forms and GravityView for advanced forms and lead capture
- Restrict Content Pro for membership functionality
- WooCommerce for online shops, with Stripe and PayPal integration
- SEOPress for SEO management
- UpdraftPlus and server-side daily backups
- ShoutFast static-HTML CMS where ultra-fast delivery is critical
- Google Gemini AI integrations where useful (drafts, alt text, summaries)
We hold agency licences for the paid tools, so the licence cost doesn't get added to your build invoice.
Domain authority and reach
Shout Websites' own domain has built up a Domain Rating in the high 60s on Ahrefs over its lifetime — a high-trust signal in SEO terms — which means a backlink from one of our showcase or case-study pages carries genuine weight. It's one of the practical reasons clients stay with us long-term.
