Web design for Porthmadog businesses.

Porthmadog's economy runs on movement in two directions. The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways pull visitors through the town to Snowdonia's southern edge; the harbour and High Street serve a resident catchment across the LL49 postcode from Borth-y-Gest to Tremadog. The visitor trade lives on being found when someone searches for accommodation, a place to eat, or a boat trip. Local trades and practices get the next job by looking solid on a phone. We build sites for owner-run businesses across Porthmadog, every price published before you call, the finished site yours to keep.

Live by Wednesday 14 October if your words and photos are ready. Every price published, and the site is yours outright.

Who we build for in Porthmadog.

The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways

The two narrow-gauge lines bring tens of thousands of visitors through Porthmadog station each year. Cafés, shops and accommodation on the route between Harbour Station and the town centre live on that footfall from spring to autumn. Being found when someone searches from Porthmadog, showing what you offer and loading quickly on a phone is what turns a passing visitor into a customer before they walk past the door.

Visitor accommodation and the outdoor economy

Porthmadog is the southern gateway to Snowdonia and the start of the Llŷn Peninsula; B&Bs, self-catering lets and outdoor retailers capture the walkers, cyclists and families who base themselves here. The booking happens before the visit, on a phone or laptop the night before, so the site needs to show what you offer, look worth choosing and make reserving straightforward.

The High Street and town centre

Shops, cafés, beauty services and food businesses on the High Street and around Y Ganolfan serve both the resident population and the seasonal visitor flow. Being found on a phone when someone is already in town, loading fast and showing current hours keeps footfall coming through the door rather than going elsewhere.

Trades and mobile services

Builders, plumbers, electricians and roofers serving the LL49 patch from Tremadog and Borth-y-Gest across to Penrhyndeudraeth and the surrounding peninsula: customers search when something needs fixing and ring whoever looks solid first. The site needs to come up for Porthmadog searches, show what area you cover and make calling one tap from a phone.

The harbour and watersports

Porthmadog Harbour has a working sailing and watersports community alongside its heritage as a slate-export port. Chandleries, boat hire, sailing tuition and the Glaslyn estuary businesses draw visitors and locals. A site that shows what you offer, covers the season clearly and makes booking or enquiring from a phone straightforward earns bookings the competition does not.

Practices and professional services

Solicitors, accountants and health practitioners serving the LL49 area handle clients from across the peninsula who may have no easier option nearby. Trust is built before the first call; the site needs to look established, answer the questions people check before choosing a professional and make getting in touch straightforward.

Every price, published.

What we do for Porthmadog businesses.

Sites for Porthmadog businesses are built around the job each one has to do: get found when someone in the LL49 area searches, load fast on a phone, say plainly what you offer and make getting in touch the obvious next step. Every price is published before you call, the site is yours outright, and if you want it looked after once it is live we do that too. If being found locally across Porthmadog and the southern Snowdonia gateway is your priority, the site gets built around those searches first.

Five things about Porthmadog, for the record.

Did you know? There are nearly 500 companies registered in Porthmadog.

The Cob The Cob embankment, some 1.2 kilometres long and completed in 1811 by MP William Madocks, reclaimed the Glaslyn estuary and gave Porthmadog the land on which it stands; the town takes its name from him
Ffestiniog Railway The Ffestiniog Railway, opened in 1836 to carry slate from Blaenau Ffestiniog to the harbour by gravity, is run by the oldest surviving railway company in the world and still carries passengers through the mountains
T. E. Lawrence T. E. Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia, was born in the adjacent village of Tremadoc in 1888; a plaque marks the house on the main road
Portmeirion Portmeirion, the Italianate village designed by Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925, stands two miles south-east on the Dwyryd estuary and is one of north Wales's major tourist attractions
Welsh Highland Railway The Welsh Highland Railway, which runs from Porthmadog Harbour Station to Caernarfon through the Aberglaslyn Pass, completed its full restoration in 2011 and joins the Ffestiniog Railway to give 40 unbroken miles of narrow gauge steam

What local owners ask us.

The same as anywhere else we work, and it is published on this page. A five-page site is from £1,000 and a ten-page site with a blog from £1,500, an online shop is from £3,500, and the figure is agreed before any work starts. The site is yours outright. If you want us to host it, that is £29 a month. More: /web-design/
That is what it is built for. The pages are written around what people search for in Porthmadog and the towns around it, Caernarfon, Dolgellau, Criccieth and Pwllheli, and the site is connected to your Google Business Profile. Rankings build over months, and nobody can honestly promise a position. Our nearest finished sites are MACH RUN in Machynlleth, about 26 miles away, and Quoker, about 47 miles away, both further up this page with links to the live sites. More: /seo/local-seo-package/
All of it: High Street, The Harbour, Morfa and Tremadog as much as the town centre, and out to Borth-y-Gest, Penrhyndeudraeth and Criccieth. If you work across an area rather than from one address, the site shows the area you cover. There are nearly 500 companies registered in Porthmadog. More: /web-design/where-we-cover/
Yes, wherever you suggest: your premises, a café in town, or a video call if that suits you better. Most of the work for Porthmadog clients runs by video call and phone, and we come to you when a meeting in person earns the trip. More: /contact/
Yes. A booking system is built around the way you take bookings, with a calendar set to your availability, confirmations and reminders sent automatically, and payments or deposits if you want them. It starts at £600 and can be added to a site you already have. More: /custom-features/booking-and-scheduling/
Both are real options and we build either. A Shopify store set up and styled to your brand is from £3,500, with up to fifty products loaded; Shopify then charges its own monthly subscription, which you pay to them directly. A WooCommerce shop on WordPress is also from £3,500, with no platform fee and the shop owned outright. If you want the technical side to be somebody else's problem, Shopify. If you want to own it and avoid a monthly fee, WooCommerce. More: /web-design/shopify-store-setup/
