Shrewsbury is Shropshire’s county town, built inside a loop of the River Severn, and its businesses are a real mix. Independent shops and cafés on Wyle Cop, Mardol and around the Square sit alongside solicitors, accountants, estate agents and dental practices. Trades and service firms work out from the town across the county and over the border into Wales.
What a Shrewsbury website has to do
That mix changes what a good website needs. A gift shop off Mardol is competing for visitors who are browsing on their phones between shops, so it needs opening hours, a map and photos that make people walk over. A firm of surveyors or accountants is being compared with two or three others before anyone picks up the phone, so it needs clear services, the names of the people you’ll deal with, and a simple way to get in touch.
A builder or electrician based in Bayston Hill or Shawbury has a different problem. They need to show up for the villages they cover, such as Pontesbury, Minsterley or Wem, and not only for “Shrewsbury”. The town is busy with competition for “near me” searches, and a page that names real places usually does better than one that just says “Shropshire”.
How we build websites for Shrewsbury businesses
We start with a short call or questionnaire about what you do and who your customers are. Then we write the pages and design the site around it: clear services, prices or a price guide where you can give one, your own photos, and the details a cautious customer looks for. The first draft is often ready the same day.
We host it on our UK servers with an SSL certificate, backups and security monitoring. When your opening hours change for the Flower Show weekend, or you add a new service, you email us and we change it. Up to 10 changes a month are included in the £47.
Web hosting for Shrewsbury businesses
If you already have a website you’re happy with, our web hosting and WordPress hosting plans give it a fast, secure UK home, with cPanel, free SSL and JetBackup backups. Web hosting starts at £2.99 a month and moving your site across is free.
