Folkestone

Web design in Folkestone.

Fast, modern websites for Folkestone businesses, with local SEO built in so people searching in CT18, CT19 and CT20 find you rather than a competitor.

Fixed price agreed before we start, and you see the site working before you pay anything.

Local to you

We know Folkestone beyond the Harbour Arm.

We build for businesses across the Creative Quarter, the Harbour, East Cliff, Cheriton, Sandgate, the West End, Hythe and Hawkinge.

That matters because local search is specific. Someone in Cheriton searching for a garage and someone near the Harbour searching for a restaurant are different searches, and a site built to answer both wins more of them.

About Folkestone

A harbour town rebuilt around two different economies.

Folkestone runs two economies side by side. The Creative Quarter and Harbour Arm have rebuilt the town around arts-led regeneration, independent shops and hospitality, while the M20 and Eurotunnel on its doorstep keep a serious logistics and manufacturing base running underneath.

Construction is the largest sector by business count, with 590 enterprises, followed closely by professional, scientific and technical services (575), accommodation and food services (375), retail (315) and business administration and support (295). Local inward-investment material also points to a strong logistics and distribution sector tied to Eurotunnel.

That means a Folkestone site needs to work for two overlapping audiences: local independents and consumer brands in the town itself, and a real B2B market of logistics, trade and manufacturing firms in the wider catchment.

Getting found locally

The pages we'd build for a Folkestone business.

Someone searching from Creative Quarter and someone searching from Harbour are two different customers, and one page covering "Folkestone and surrounding areas" wins neither. So we build a page for each area you cover, written for that area.

Shown here across a mix of trades so you can see the pattern. Yours would use your own trade throughout, not a mix.
