Web design in Bridlington.
You earn most of the year in a handful of months. Your website should know that.
I build fixed-price websites from Beverley, half an hour inland, for businesses working the Bridlington coast — guest houses, cafés, charters, shops, attractions, trades. From £750, live in five working days, price published up front.
Five working days. The only thing that’s ever made a build late is waiting on the client, so I ask for everything up front.
Seasonality changes what the website is for.
An inland trade sells at a fairly even rate all year. A coastal one does not. A large share of the year’s income arrives in a compressed run of good months, and the website is being read by two completely different people depending on when they land on it: someone planning a trip weeks ahead, and someone already in town, on a phone, deciding where to eat in the next twenty minutes.
Those two want opposite things. The planner wants photographs, prices, availability and enough detail to commit. The one standing on the front wants your hours and your location in under three seconds, and will leave for whoever answers first. Most seaside websites serve the planner reasonably and abandon the second person completely — which is a shame, because the second person is already here with money in their pocket.
Build it in the winter.
The single most valuable piece of advice on this page and it costs nothing: do this in the quiet months. A new site needs a few weeks before Google has properly digested it. Launch in February and it is settled, indexed and working by the time the season opens. Launch in June and you have handed your best weeks to a website that is still being discovered.
What it costs.
£750 for up to two pages, £1,200 for up to four, £1,950 for up to six with the search groundwork done properly, then £175 a page beyond that. Half to book, half on launch. Hosting and care from £45 a month. See pricing →
Common questions.
When should I build it if my trade is seasonal?
Winter. Build it in the quiet months so it’s indexed, settled and earning by the time the season starts. A site that goes live in June has spent the best weeks of your year being discovered by Google instead of by customers. Five days of build in February is worth considerably more than five days of build in July.
Most of my bookings come through a third-party listing site. Do I still need my own?
Yes, and the commission is the reason. A booking that comes through your own site keeps the margin a listing platform would take, and it’s the only channel where you set the terms rather than renting them. The realistic goal isn’t leaving the platforms — it’s giving the customer who found you there somewhere direct to book next time.
Can the site handle the season being over?
It should, and most don’t. A coastal site that still says “open daily” in November trains people not to trust it. I build in a clear, easy way for you to change hours and seasonal messaging yourself, in a couple of minutes, without ringing me — because you’ll want to do it twice a year for as long as you trade.
Do you come out to Bridlington?
Yes, it’s about half an hour from Beverley. I’m happy to come to you, though plenty of clients would rather send photos and get on with running the place, which works just as well.
