Starting out in 2014 from the bedroom, Graphics Bite has turned into a full service digital agency, offering not only Website Design, but Marketing services including SEO, PPC Advertising, Email Marketing and more.

After rapidly establishing Graphics Bite as the No.1 Digital Marketing Agency in New Milton, we’re continuing our work on becoming the “Go To” agency in Christchurch and along the Dorset and Hampshire coast.

We’ve helped clients spend their advertising budgets in the right way to earn them literally millions of pounds in online and in-person sales, whether that’s through direct orders on their web shop or through paid advertising.

If you’re not sure whether we’re the right fit for you, take a look at the stunning feedback we’ve received from our clients over the years. We’re certain you’ll be impressed with how far we go to make sure you’re fully satisfied with our work.

After being asked to design a website for a friends plumbing business and selling business card designs on eBay, it was time to come up with a name for a design business. On the 8th August 2014, I came up with the name Graphics Bite by throwing the word Graphics into a name generator and liking the look of Graphics Bite. The domain name was registered the same day along with designing the first version of the logo.
