“The team are experts in helping local SMEs grow their online presence on Google, we have found them really helpful and fun to work with and have referred them multiple times. They have helped us achieve a consistent base of lead generation, develop a new E-commerce section on our website, and given some great email marketing campaign advice. If you are a local SME in the construction sector I cannot recommend them highly enough for their down-to-earth and no-nonsense approach. Thanks, Gary and team for all of your help to date.”

Cirrus Design Studio builds the bespoke software Dorset businesses rely on to run their day-to-day work, alongside fast, accessible websites and Google-certified digital marketing. Everything is designed and hand-coded by our own team at our studio in Poole, so you deal with the people who actually build your system.

Bespoke software Dorset businesses rely on

Most of our clients are SME owners and directors who have outgrown spreadsheets, generic software or a template website. If your processes are too specific for Salesforce or Sage, we build the system around how you work, not the other way around.

We build:

  • Cloud business systems and bespoke CRMs that replace spreadsheets and disconnected tools
  • Client portals where your customers can track progress, upload documents and get updates without phoning you
  • Mobile inspection and compliance apps with geo-located reports, automated certificates and full audit trails
  • Legacy system conversions that move Microsoft Access, VB6 or unsupported software to the cloud without losing data

There are no per-seat fees, so adding staff never adds licence costs. Every system is fixed-price and hosted in the UK.

Website design and digital marketing in Dorset

We design fast, accessible websites that rank on Google and show up in AI search. As a Wix Studio Expert Developer and WIX Legend Partner, we can hand-code your site, build it on Wix Studio, or combine the two with Wix Headless. We'll tell you plainly which option suits your business. See how we build websites.

As a Google Partner, we also handle SEO, Google Ads and analytics, so your website brings in enquiries rather than just sitting there. Digital marketing.

Why businesses choose Cirrus

Built in the UK, by our own team

Every line of code is written by our team in Poole and Exmouth. We never outsource offshore.

Your data stays safe and in the UK

We're registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, and all systems are hosted in UK data centres.

One partner for systems, websites and marketing

One team understands your whole business, so your website, your systems and your marketing all work together.

Bespoke or custom software?

Is bespoke software the same as custom software?

Yes. “Bespoke” is the British word for software built from scratch for one business. “Custom software” means the same thing and is more common in the US. Either way, it’s designed around how your business works, rather than adapted from a product built for everyone.

Who we work with

Our most active sector is construction and building, including building control, warranty providers and building products manufacturers. We also build CPD and compliance systems, client portals, and platforms for healthcare and professional services. Our clients are based across Dorset and the South West, throughout the UK, and as far away as Hong Kong and Australia.

Why not just use Salesforce or an off-the-shelf platform?

It is a fair question - and one every serious prospect asks. Here is the honest answer.

Generic platforms (Salesforce, Sage, Dynamics)

Built for everyone.
A perfect fit for no one.

  • No: You adapt your processes to fit the software
  • No: Per-seat licensing costs grow as your team does
  • No: Feature bloat - paying for tools you’ll never use
  • No: Your workflows need expensive customisation
  • No: Data may sit on overseas servers
  • No: Support routed through offshore call centres
  • No: Locked into their product roadmap, not yours
