About Toast hosting

Who we are, where we are and what people say about us

Toast is a full-service digital agency based in the UK

Key facts about us:

We provide managed WordPress hosting for all types of businesses, specifically small UK-based businesses.

Formed in 1997, Toast is a full-service creative and digital agency based in Oxfordshire.

We have a team of 15 full-time staff who work across design, branding, WordPress websites, SEO, and hosting.

We provide a wide range of website-related services for our B2B clients, including:

  • Website design
  • Bespoke WordPress builds
  • Website optimisation
  • Search engine optimisation

We also help our small business clients ensure their website drives traffic and leads by properly hosting it properly.

We don’t offer reseller hosting or VPS hosting accounts. Every business website we host goes through a brief consultation to ensure we provide optimal hosting for the business.

We work with small business owners who would rather work with a small team to manage their hosting requirements rather than a faceless box-shifter who sells hosting cheaply but piles it high.

Toast have created a fantastic website for us. Lilli has been very patient with us throughout. Her knowledge is obviously first class and, lacking technical expertise, we were so impressed with and grateful for the way Lilli guided us through the process and supported us in providing the information required.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re really pleased you’re happy with the new website, and we’ll make sure Lilli sees your kind comments. It was a pleasure working with you.

I somehow made my business website disappear and the response toast was beyond what I could have asked for. I received professional, timely, competitively priced support that had my website back up and running in no time. I cant thank you enough.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the review, it really is appreciated. I'm just glad that we were able to help you, and you know where we are if you need us in the future!

I can’t recommend Toast Design Agency enough! If you're looking for a team that truly understands the intricacies of website migration and delivers outstanding results, hassle-free, look no further.

Thanks to Toast for designing my new website. I’ve been impressed with the service from start to finish – always responsive, professional, and full of creative insight. A special thank you to Charlotte and Max for developing the initial concept and then bringing it to life during the build. The final result has exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable design agency.

Toast Design Agency has been absolutely fantastic! For all our website projects, the experience has been seamless, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. Their team is incredibly accommodating—nothing was ever too much trouble, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure our projects ran smoothly. TOAST's project management has been first-class, they have kept everything on track and clearly communicated at every stage. All the websites they have delivered exceeded expectations: beautifully designed, perfectly functional, and tailored exactly to our needs. A special shout-out to Aaron (Lead Developer) and Charlotte (Head of Digital). Their friendly, approachable nature has been a massive help. I can’t recommend Toast Design Agency highly enough—brilliant service, exceptional results, and a genuinely great team.

I have been a customer of Toast Design for around three years. I have been so pleased by the quality of their work, their professionalism, and their responsiveness. As my business has grown, my website needs have changed. Charlotte Brown and her team at Toast have kept abreast of our needs and has consistently delivered. The SEO returns have been excellent too.
Response from the owner:Thank you Andrew for your kind comments. We hope to continue working with you moving forward on both new and existing projects.

Max, from Toast, was simoly great and very helpful. I am not a natural computor user and I certainly don't understand web designe or indeed how to navigate around what needs to happen to change things but Max has made this easy to do. Cheers Max.

I was having serious problems with my WordPress site. Maxing out CPU and Memory, and the site going off line. Toast identified a number of issues and fixed these over a couple of days. Very pleased with the result and the fast response from Toast.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really pleased we could identify and resolve the performance issues on your site quickly, and it’s great to hear you’re happy with the results. If you need any further support as your site grows, we’re always here to help.

On Call Africa had the absolute pleasure of working with Toast for the second year in a row to design our organisation’s Annual Report and Financial Statements. As a new CEO for the organisation, this year has been full of firsts—one of them being getting our compliance reports completed on time. When I reached out to Toast, it was with a very tight deadline—just one week to design our report. Their response was simple and reassuring: “No problem, give us your deadline and we’ll meet it.” And that’s exactly what they did—delivering the project with professionalism, precision, and an impressive attention to detail. Alex Roe was an absolute star from start to finish, making the process seamless and stress-free. I’ll certainly be choosing Toast for our next design project—and honestly, if you’re considering them, I’d recommend you do the same.

Working with Toast is like handing your ideas to a design sorcerer and watching them return as pure gold. They’ve turned our rough concepts into book covers that shout from shelves. Sharp, stylish, and always on point. A special shout out to Anzonie! Although we should probably pretend these were our ideas all along…

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Toast Design Agency. Mark and Alex have been absolutely brilliant—professional, creative, and always responsive (especially with my last minute requests!). They took the time to understand our brand and delivered designs that truly exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail and collaborative approach made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We’re really happy with the results and look forward to continue working with them. Highly recommended!

Toast have been my designers of choice for many years, across a range of publications (both print and digital) for several different brands. They are always super-responsive, helpful and creative. We've worked together on everything from a beautiful glossy coffee-table book to a regular high-quality magazine for TV camera professionals, to quick powerpoint and newsletter comms – and their attention to detail and creative input is always first-class no matter how big or small the project. It's been fantastic that Mark has been a constant contact throughout all the years but then newer members of staff, like Anzonie, have come on board and do a wonderful job for us too.
