Due to a bit of restructuring and an office move at the end of the month, we have lots of bits to sell at Eldo Web Design Ltd. Desks, chairs, furniture, laptops, screens, phone etc.

We've made a quick website to show it all - https://sell.eldo.dev/

If you're in the local area (Lee on Solent) and would like any of it, get in touch via the details on the site!

Somehow 2025 is nearly over, so we’ve put together a little roundup of everything we’ve been up to this year. New launches, improved processes, hosting upgrades, a few challenges along the way and lots of proud moments too.

If you fancy a look behind the scenes, our Year in Review is now live:

Thanks to everyone who’s supported us this year - here’s to an even better 2026!

Pretty amazing addition to our office space at Fareham Innovation Centre

I only popped down to reception to pick up the post and was greeted by this pretty sizeable remote plane/drone!

Even more epic when it flew away (swipe to see!)

Ok, so the plane is real, but no, it did not fly off.

We’ve recently relaunched the Daedalus Waterfront website!

A project that’s been particularly close to home for us here at Eldo, quite literally. The redevelopment of this iconic waterfront site in Lee-on-the-Solent continues to move forward, and we’re proud to help showcase its next exciting chapter online.

The new website is clean and future-ready, built to highlight the scale of the regeneration while staying easy to update as the project evolves.

A huge thanks to the team at Daedalus Waterfront for trusting us once again to bring the story of this landmark development to life.

Take a look at the project -

We love working with local businesses and authorities, and this project was no exception.

This marks our third project with Fareham Borough Council, and it was a real pleasure collaborating with Jan Lasnon and the team, to design and launch the brand-new Solent Mitigation Partnership website.

We’ve been asked about this a lot more over the last 6 months - "How do we show up in ChatGPT as well as Google?" With more people using AI tools to find businesses, it’s something worth paying attention to.

So, here’s a quick blog post that explains what’s changing, why it matters, and how to give your website the best chance of being found…

More people are using ChatGPT to find businesses, not just Google. Make sure your website shows up in both & stays visible where it matters.

“We started off a little tentatively due to the relaxed nature of Scott, having previously worked with other website designers who took a different approach…”

We've never been called out on our 'websites shouldn’t be stressful' approach before, but we're glad Stuart Gladwell of SCMS did!

We’ve just launched the brand-new SCMS website, a large, complex project packed with functionality and content. At Eldo™ Web Design Ltd, we don’t believe in overcomplicating things.

We take a methodical, careful approach, no static design mockups, no guesswork. Instead, we design directly in the browser so our clients can see real progress as it happens. This way, we can adapt, refine, and make the right decisions as the project evolves.

By ensuring every element is right before moving forward, nothing gets missed, nothing feels rushed, and the end result is a website that works beautifully from day one.

The new SCMS website is a perfect example of how our process delivers results.

Your logo and branding are often the first things people see – online, in print, on your van, business card, packaging or email signature.

Here’s why letting professionals handle your logo and branding can make all the difference.

To Cam or Not to Cam: The Awkward Art of Video Calls

Ah, the humble Teams call. A modern masterpiece of communication, confusion and camera-related anxiety. Essential for modern business, but still… awkward, especially in the wonderfully pixelated world of digital and web design.

We’ve all been there. That familiar “ding” as the meeting starts. The inevitable scramble to find the unmute button. The subtle panic as you realise your camera is on and you’re mid-sip of coffee, giving everyone an unexpected close-up of your left nostril.

Or, worse still, the camera’s off… and now you’re faced with that unspoken question: Should I turn it on?

We Don’t Use Pens at Eldo. Should Kids Still Use Them in Exams?

Here at Eldo, we write exactly zero things by hand. Not because we’re lazy. Not because we don’t know how to hold a pen. But because… well, we live on screens.

Everything we create - every website, proposal, sitemap, or silly internal note about biscuits - is typed, clicked, tapped, and tracked.

Pens? Lovely objects. Mostly used for signing birthday cards (though do pick up an Eldo branded pen next time you pop in!).
