A lot of people decide where to eat, stay or shop in Rochester while they’re still standing at the station or walking down from the bridge. If your site is slow, awkward on a phone or missing your opening hours, they simply pick the place next door. That’s as true for a guest house near the cathedral as it is for a gift shop on the High Street or a firm of solicitors in an old townhouse.
We design and build websites that load quickly, explain what you offer in plain terms, and make it easy to book, buy or get in touch. Everything below can be part of a Rochester project:
Web Design
Layouts shaped around how your customers actually arrive, whether that’s a tourist on 4G or a local searching from home in Strood.
Web Development
Clean, fast builds with booking tools, forms, menus and integrations wired in properly, so the site keeps working when the festival crowds arrive.
Mobile App Development
If a website isn’t enough, our app development team can build something for loyalty, tickets or guided routes around the city.
Website Maintenance
Updates, backups, security patches and small content changes handled for you, so seasonal opening times and event dates are always right.
Ecommerce Websites
Online shops for Rochester retailers who want to sell to customers who visited once and want to order again from home.
Shopify Websites
Shopify stores for antique, craft, book and gift sellers who want a reliable checkout and simple stock management.
WordPress Websites
Flexible WordPress sites for venues, charities and professional firms that publish news, events and blog posts regularly.
Wix Websites
Tidy, well-structured Wix sites for small businesses that want to make their own edits without calling anyone.
Custom Built Websites & Platforms
Bespoke systems for things off-the-shelf tools handle badly, such as multi-room bookings, event ticketing or member areas.
PPC, SEO & GEO
A good site still needs traffic. Our search and ads work makes sure people looking for things to do in Rochester can find you.
We like to start a website with a proper conversation. Come over to our Maidstone office, a short drive over Blue Bell Hill, or we’ll come to you in Rochester, and if a video call is easier that’s fine too. From there we write a short plan covering pages, features and content, then sit down with you to go through the designs and agree changes. Before launch we walk you through the finished site, test it together on phones and desktops, and make sure you’re comfortable updating it yourself.
1. Discovery call
A meeting at our office or yours to understand your customers, what the site needs to do and what’s not working at the moment.
2. Plan and structure
We map out the pages and features, agree content, and confirm which platform suits you best.
3. Design
We present the designs to you, talk through the thinking and refine them, with as many rounds as the plan allows.
4. Build and test
We build the site and test it on phones, tablets and desktops, then go through it with you before launch.
5. Launch and support
We put the site live, set up analytics and stay on hand for updates and maintenance.
Alongside Rochester, we build websites for businesses throughout Medway, the rest of Kent and further across the UK. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
Web design in Rochester: frequently asked questions
Can we meet to talk about our website?
Yes, and we'd encourage it. You're welcome at our Maidstone office, which is a short drive from Rochester, or we can come to you. If a video call fits your week better, we can do that instead.
Can our website take bookings for rooms or tables?
Yes. We can integrate the booking system you already use or recommend one that fits. We'll make sure it works smoothly on mobile, which is where most visitors book.
Can you photograph or film our premises for the new site?
We can. Our video team can visit for a shoot so your site shows your real shop, rooms or venue rather than stock images.
We get busy around the festivals. Can the site handle it?
We build with traffic spikes in mind and choose hosting accordingly. We'll also make sure key details such as opening times and event information are easy for you to update.
Will you look after the site after launch?
Yes, through our maintenance plans. We handle updates, backups and changes so you can focus on running the business.
