Web Design & Development in Bristol

Custom-coded websites, online shops and booking systems for Bristol businesses, from a two-person team based in Bristol and London.

Websites for Bristol businesses

Bristol is one of our two home cities. We design and build custom-coded websites and web applications for businesses across the city and the wider West of England, written by the same two developers you speak to, with no page builders or templates.

Work we have built near Bristol

Two of the businesses in our portfolio are just outside the city, and both needed more than a brochure site.

  • The Golf Cabin, an indoor golf simulator venue near Bristol, takes bay bookings online with live availability, so customers can book and pay at any hour without picking up the phone.
  • Stag Hen Houses, luxury group accommodation for celebrations near Bristol and Bath, has property listings, direct bookings and SEO landing pages that bring in party bookings.

Both are in our portfolio. Our page on booking systems and custom platforms explains how we make online booking reliable, including stopping two customers booking the same slot.

What Bristol businesses tend to need

Bristol combines a large creative and technology sector with streets full of independent shops, and the websites that suit them are quite different:

  • Independent shops on Gloucester Road, North Street or around Wapping Wharf that want an online shop they own, instead of paying a platform a cut of every sale.
  • Hospitality and leisure venues that need bookings, deposits and reminders to run themselves.
  • Tech and creative companies around Temple Quarter and the Harbourside that need a Django developer for a product, a client portal or an older project that needs upgrading.
  • Trades and professional firms that want to be found for searches in their part of the city and turn visits into quote requests.

How we would approach it

Almost everything we build is Python and Django. For a shop, that means custom ecommerce with Stripe payments; for a venue, a booking system with live availability; for a service business, a fast business website you can update yourself.

Local search matters in a city this size. Someone searching from Clifton and someone searching from Bedminster can see different results, so we structure pages, titles and schema around the areas you actually serve. Our SEO service covers the technical side.
