Bangor web design for a seaside town that also commutes
Bangor is two things at once. It is a seaside town on Belfast Lough with a marina, a seafront and a summer trade, and it is also a commuter town where a large share of residents work in Belfast and come home in the evening. Local businesses here have to serve both, which is a more interesting problem than it first looks.
It means your customers are searching at different times and for different reasons. Visitors look in the summer, often from outside the area and almost always on a phone. Residents look in the evening for a trade or a service, having not noticed you during the day because they were in the city. A site that answers only one of those misses half the market.
We are based in Cardiff, itself a city on the water with a seasonal edge, and work with north Down clients by phone, email and video call throughout.
Every plan is listed on our web design prices page, and our about page explains who you would be dealing with. Most visitors will arrive on a phone, which is why we design mobile first. Not the Bangor you were after? We also cover Bangor in north Wales.
North Down businesses we build websites for
Hospitality and seafront businesses
Cafes, restaurants, bars and accommodation around the marina and the seafront that need hours and bookings obvious.
Trades serving commuter households
Joiners, electricians, plumbers and gardeners covering Bangor, Holywood, Donaghadee and Newtownards.
Shops and independents
High street and marina businesses that rely on locals out of season and visitors in it.
Professional and home services
Consultants, clinics and home improvement businesses serving a household base that is out at work all day.
Why people end up changing web designer
The design is rarely the reason. It is the invoice nobody mentioned, the fortnight with no answer and the site that quietly goes stale. Here is how we deal with each.
Costs that arrive later
Hosting, an email account, a renewal, another page. Ours are folded into one monthly figure, and the only listed extra is £50 for each page beyond five on Starter.
Nobody getting back to you
You speak to Robert and a small team rather than a queue, and every enquiry is answered within one working day.
A build with no end date
A five page site should not drag on for months. Ours normally go live within 7 to 14 days of your content reaching us.
Being billed for small edits
A new price list, a different photo, changed hours. Every plan carries monthly update time so the ordinary things do not cost extra.
