Web design in Garstang.
Websites for Garstang businesses, designed, built and hosted for one monthly fee. We’re half an hour down the road in Blackpool, and we build for the whole Garstang and Over Wyre area.
A market town that still trades on its high street.
Garstang has been a market town since the fourteenth century, and it still works like one. The Thursday market fills the High Street, independents trade from Market Place and Cherestanc Square, and the Lancaster Canal brings a steady stream of walkers and boaters past Th’Owd Tithebarn into town. It was the world’s first Fairtrade Town, and that tells you something about the place - people here back local, independent businesses on principle.
But the town’s customers no longer all live in the town. Garstang sits on the A6 between Preston and Lancaster, minutes from the M6, with the Forest of Bowland and Nicky Nook on its doorstep - so alongside residents you’ve got commuters passing through daily and visitors planning weekends from a phone screen fifty miles away. Whether they find you or a competitor comes down to a Google search, and if your website is slow, dated or missing, they book, order or call elsewhere.
What we build for businesses like yours.
Every site is designed around what your business actually does, not squeezed into a template. Around Garstang that usually means one of a few things.
Shops, cafés and high-street independents
A fast, good-looking site with your opening hours, menus or stock highlights, directions and parking notes, and a click-to-call button that works properly on a phone - because that’s where most of your customers will find you. If you take reviews on Google or Facebook, we can pull them onto the site so first-time visitors see them.
Rural trades and services
Builders, joiners, landscapers, farriers, agricultural contractors - businesses working across Catterall, Barton, Bilsborrow, Churchtown, Calder Vale and the farms between them. You need a gallery of finished work, a quote form that reaches you quickly, and pages that rank for each village you cover. We build all three.
B&Bs, holiday lets and caravan parks
With Bowland walkers, canal traffic and events like the Garstang Show bringing visitors through, accommodation around Garstang lives or dies on direct bookings. This is work we know well: we designed and launched the sites for Q Accommodation and The Southview Hotel, two Blackpool places to stay, with photography, room pages and booking built around getting guests to book direct rather than through commission-charging platforms.
Why pay monthly makes sense in a small town.
Most Garstang businesses are small - a shop, a trade, a family firm. Sinking £2,000 or more into a website up front is a hard sell when that money could go on stock, a van or the quiet winter months. So we price it the way you’d pay for anything else that keeps the business running: £99 to start, then £29.99 a month.
That one fee covers the design, the build, UK hosting, your domain, SSL and every change you need afterwards. New prices, new photos, a page for a new service - you message us, we do it, and there’s no invoice at the end.
Being found in Garstang.
Local search is where small-town websites win or lose. When someone in Garstang searches “plumber near me” or a walker in Scorton looks up “café Garstang”, Google decides who appears - and it decides based on things you can control.
Every site we build ships with proper page titles, meta descriptions and location pages for the villages you serve, so you can rank in Barton and Bilsborrow as well as Garstang itself. We’ll also make sure your Google Business Profile is set up correctly and matches your website - that’s the listing with the map, photos and reviews that appears before the normal results, and for a town-centre business it’s often worth more than the website ranking alone. The two work together: a complete profile pointing at a fast, relevant site is how you end up above competitors from Preston and Lancaster who cover Garstang from a distance.
Questions Garstang businesses ask us.
Do you meet in person, or is it all online?
Most of the work happens over WhatsApp, phone and email, because that’s quickest for everyone. But Garstang is about half an hour from our Blackpool studio, so if you’d rather sit down over a brew and talk it through first, we’re happy to come to you.
What does it actually cost?
£99 to set up, then £29.99 a month. That’s the whole price - design, hosting, domain, SSL, email and unlimited changes are all inside it. Extras like a full online shop or professional photography are optional add-ons, priced before you commit.
How long until my site is live?
We show you a first design within the week, and most sites go live within a week of sign-up. If you’ve got photos and your text ready, it’s quicker still.
Who owns the website?
You do. There’s no minimum term or exit fee, and after twelve months the site and your domain are yours to keep - so you’re never stuck with us.
Ready when you are.
If you run a business in Garstang or the villages around it and your website isn’t pulling its weight - or doesn’t exist yet - we’d like to build you one that does.
