Web Design & Development Whitstable

Whitstable web design for restaurants, shops, studios and stays

Think about how a visitor plans a trip to Whitstable. They look up where to eat, check menus, book a table, browse a few shops and maybe find somewhere to stay. Every one of those steps happens on a phone, often on a slow signal at the station or on the beach. If your website is clumsy, they’ll choose the place next door.

We design and build fast, good-looking websites for hospitality, retail, creative and service businesses in and around CT5. We’ll come to you to see the place and meet the team, or you’re welcome to visit us at our Maidstone office. Our web services include:

Designs led by great photography and clear information, so customers instantly see what you offer and how to visit.

Lightweight, well-built sites that load quickly on mobile networks and stay secure.

For bookings, loyalty or ordering, we also build apps. See our Whitstable app development.

Menu changes, seasonal opening hours, plugin updates and backups, handled promptly.

Online shops for gifts, art, homeware and food, with gift cards and local delivery options.

Shopify stores for boutiques and makers who want to sell online and in person from one system.

WordPress sites for venues and studios that publish events, exhibitions and news.

Simple Wix sites for small businesses that want full control over their own pages.

Bespoke booking engines, class schedules or holiday let systems built around how you operate.

Getting found by visitors and locals alike, through our SEO and ads service for Whitstable.

How we build websites for Whitstable

Our first question is always what you want visitors to do: book a table, buy a print, enquire about a stay or simply turn up. Everything else follows from that. We look at how customers find you, what they ask most often and what puts them off, then design pages that answer those questions quickly. We like to talk things through in person, so we’ll come to Whitstable or welcome you at our Maidstone office, at times that suit your opening hours. Video calls are always available when a quick conversation is all that’s needed.

1. Conversation
A first meeting, at your venue or our office, about your business, your customers and what’s not working online.

2. Site plan
We outline the pages, features and integrations, such as table booking or online ordering.

3. Look and feel
We present the designs and refine them with your comments until they suit your brand.

4. Build
We develop and test the site carefully on mobile first, then tablet and desktop.

5. Launch
We go live, redirect old pages and show you how to update menus and products.

Whitstable is one of many places we build for, with clients right across Kent and the UK. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.

We worked with Andy and the team at Dope Studio to produce a series of videos for a Netflix advertising campaign, and we couldn’t fault them. Their pricing was very competitive compared to other agencies we considered, without compromising on the quality of service or the final product. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend them and look forward to working together again in the future.

I contacted dopestudio to develop my company website. They were really helpful, listened to my design brief and then guided me through the process from drafting, proof reading, configuring and finally publishing. I am really happy with the end result; from a client’s perspective, it was really easy to communicate my ideas across and their design feedback was very much appreciated – it’s always useful to get someone else’s view on things. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else who needs a website, without hesitation.
