Chester & the North West

Websites for Chester businesses.

Chester’s trade sits on two levels: the famous Rows, and neighbourhood streets like Faulkner Street in Hoole. We build simple, Google-ready websites for the city’s cafés, shops, trades and independents, so visitors and locals can find you before they arrive, and get in touch once they have.

01Chester

The Rows, Northgate and Hoole.

Half of Chester’s shops are easy to miss if you only look at pavement level. Online, the same thing happens if you don’t have a clear page of your own.

  • The Rows

    On Eastgate, Watergate and Bridge Street, and for a short stretch of Northgate Street, a second layer of shops sits behind a covered walkway at first-floor level. Independent jewellers, booksellers, vintage shops and coffee rooms often trade at Row level, where a website needs to say which street you’re on, and whether you’re up on the Row or down on the pavement.

  • Watergate Street

    The quietest of the four main streets, and often the most rewarding for one-off shops: antiques, galleries and coffee under the timber buildings. If your unit is tucked under the Row, a map pin and a short line of directions on your site will do more than a name on its own.

  • Northgate

    Northgate Street runs up past the town hall and the cathedral and has become the food and drink end of the centre. Cafés and independents here are serving both visitors doing the city and people who work nearby, so hours and a way to get in touch need to be obvious.

  • Hoole

    Ten minutes on foot from the station, Faulkner Street is the neighbourhood run of cafés, delis and independents that many locals use more than the centre. A simple, mobile site is how someone on this street, or in the streets behind it, checks you’re open before they come out.

02Why a website

A city that visitors and locals both search for.

People come to Chester for the Rows, the cathedral and the racecourse, and they look things up on their phone while they’re here. Locals do the same when they want a café in Hoole or a tradesperson who covers the city.

  • Visitors decide on their phone

    Someone walking the Rows has a few minutes to choose a café or a shop. If your site loads quickly, shows where you are and lets them call or write in, you’re in the running. If it doesn’t, they’ll open the next result.

  • A pin in “Chester” isn’t enough

    For a business on the Rows, people need the street and the level, not just the city. For a trade covering Chester and the villages around it, they need the areas you actually work.

  • Facebook isn’t a substitute

    A page that disappears down the feed won’t help a visitor who searched on Google, or a resident who wants your hours on a Sunday morning. A website is the steady address you can put on the window and the listing.

03Who it’s for

Shops on the Rows, trades across the city.

We build sites for small Chester businesses that want something clear, quick on a phone and set up properly for Google, without the fuss of doing it themselves.

  • Independents on the Rows

    Jewellery, books, vintage, gifts and coffee. Your site should say which street you’re on and whether you sit at pavement or Row level, with hours and a way to get in touch.

  • Cafés in the centre and in Hoole

    Opening times, a short sense of what’s on, and a page that works on a phone. That’s enough for a lot of cafés; a five-page site gives you room for a menu or a bit more about the place.

  • Trades and neighbourhood shops

    Plumbers, heating engineers and other trades can list the parts of the city and the surrounding villages they cover, plus a form for quotes. Neighbourhood shops can keep it simple: what you sell, when you’re open, where you are.

We’re based on the Wirral and work across Merseyside and the North West, including the Wirral and Liverpool.
