Website design in Whitehaven
How we can help a new business in Whitehaven.
Whitehaven is a Georgian harbour town with a visitor economy as well as a day-to-day one: independents around the harbour, cafés and rooms for people visiting the Beacon and the coast, and the same trades and local services you would find in any west Cumbrian town. Just Started Web is based in Maryport, a short drive up the coast at 25 Curzon Street. If you are starting a business in Whitehaven, we can work with you remotely, or we can come over or meet you in person when that is useful.
A new Whitehaven business often has two audiences at once. Locals want a number they can tap and a clear idea of what you do. Visitors, if that is part of your work, want to know where you are, when you are open, and why they should stop. A first website can serve both if it is simple: a mobile site, click-to-call, an enquiry form, a few genuine photos, and plain English about the service. It does not need to be a brochure for a hotel chain.
That is the shape of every package we offer. We build with professional AI site builders, then check and tailor the pages with you. We will not dress that up as hand-coded design. Launch is typically live in about five working days once we have your content; Essential in about 7–10 working days; Local Growth in about two to three weeks. You do not need a finished brand kit. Phone photos of the premises, the work or the harbour setting are more useful than stock pictures, and we can help draft the words.
For businesses that want to be found when someone types “in Whitehaven” or looks on the map, Essential and Local Growth include Google Business Profile set-up — name, address, hours and the area you cover — plus Google Analytics 4 and Search Console. Hospitality and visitor-facing services often benefit from that combination. Trades who also take jobs in Workington, Cleator Moor or further up towards Maryport may want Local Growth, which includes service and area pages and a care plan that can add a page in some months.
We are not a Whitehaven high-street office, and we will not pretend otherwise. The advantage of being based just along the coast is that a 20-minute discovery call can be a video call or an in-person conversation, and you are not dealing with a firm at the other end of the country. If you would rather keep it entirely online, that works too.
Packages, exclusive of VAT, are Launch at £299.99 + £29 a month, Essential at £499.99 + £49 a month, and Local Growth at £699.99 + £79 a month. Hosting, the domain, SSL, backups and small changes sit in the monthly care plan from launch. Payment is 50% to start and 50% when the site goes live.
The Our Work examples are from Lewis’s other businesses, not made-up Whitehaven clients. Look through them, and if you would like a first site for a new venture in the town, send a few details through the enquiry form, email [email protected], or call 07858 247473.
