Websites that work as hard as Barrow does

Barrow is a town that makes things. The shipyard sets the rhythm, and around it sits a network of fabricators, machine shops, electrical contractors, hauliers, training providers and trades that keep Furness running. Add the shops on Dalton Road, the cafés and pubs, the guest houses on Walney and the attractions that pull visitors down the peninsula, and you have a business community with very different needs from a website, side by side. We build every site from scratch for the business in front of us: no template with your logo dropped in.

Supply chain & engineering

Clear capability pages, accreditations and project examples that procurement teams can find, read and shortlist, plus enquiry forms that ask the right questions.

Trades & local services

Fast mobile sites built around the jobs you want more of, with service and area pages so people in Barrow, Dalton, Askam and Ulverston find you first.

Shops, hospitality & visitors

Online ordering, table and room bookings, events and gift vouchers on your own website, without handing a commission to a third-party platform.

Selling to the supply chain

Websites for Barrow's engineering and contractor firms

A large share of Furness businesses sell to bigger organisations rather than to the public. Their buyers do their homework online before they ever pick up the phone: they want to see what you make or fix, which standards you hold, how big your team is, and evidence that you have delivered for someone like them. We structure engineering and contractor sites around exactly those questions, with capability pages, quality and safety accreditations, a project gallery, and a contact route that captures drawing numbers and deadlines.

Pages are fast, accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA and easy for you to update yourself. If you want the site to answer technical questions out of hours, we can add an AI assistant like the one we built for Block Moulds UK, a Cumbrian precast manufacturer. See AI automation in Cumbria for what else can be automated.

On the doorstep

From our Millom office to Barrow in 40 minutes

Our office is at Unit 13B, Devonshire Road Industrial Estate in Millom, around 25 miles from Barrow town centre by road, round the Duddon estuary on the A595. That means we can sit down with you at your own premises for the first meeting, photograph your workshop, shopfront or team for the site, and come back to train your staff when it launches.

Day-to-day support is handled remotely by phone, email and screen share, so you are never waiting for a visit to get a change made. Barrow, Walney, Barrow Island, Roose, Dalton-in-Furness and Askam are all within our usual patch.

Proof, close to home

Local work you can check for yourself

We would rather show you than tell you. Total Access Scaffolding is a Millom contractor working across Barrow, Ulverston and the rest of Cumbria; we built them a multi-location site with a page for each area they cover. For the South Cumbria Skills Exchange we built a compliant Learner Management System in 23 days, and Kirksanton Village Hall, just outside Millom, takes its bookings through a custom calendar we built.

Every one of those sites is hosted and maintained by us. For everything we build, from ecommerce to council websites, see our main web design page.

How we'd build yours

Discovery to live in 4 weeks

Discovery visit. We come to you in Barrow, or meet by video if that suits better, to understand the business, who buys from you and what a good enquiry looks like.

Design & build. Pages assembled through TP PageForge from a tailored design set. TP SEO Tool wires every page metadata, schema, and canonical control. Content drafted with you, then refined.

Launch & maintain. Site launched on your domain on our hosting. Standard or Full maintenance keeps it updated, secure, and accessible. The team that built it is the team that maintains it.

Common questions

Web design in Barrow: plain answers

FAQs

Yes. We are based in Millom, about 40 minutes away, so a first meeting at your premises is normal and costs you nothing. After launch most support is done remotely, which is quicker for small changes.

Our Silver websites start from £2,500 + VAT for a bespoke, SEO-optimised site of around ten pages. Larger sites with bookings, shops or custom features are Gold from £5,000 or Platinum from £7,500. You get a fixed quote after the discovery meeting.

It can make sure your website answers the questions procurement teams ask: capabilities, accreditations, capacity and proof of delivery. A website will not put you on a supplier list by itself, but a clear and credible one makes the first conversation much easier.

Every site is built with our own SEO tool: proper titles, descriptions, schema and fast pages. If you want to climb further for searches across Furness, our SEO service in Barrow runs as a monthly engagement alongside the website.

We do. Sites run on our own managed servers with daily backups, security monitoring and updates. Standard maintenance is £25 a month + VAT, and you can still edit your own pages whenever you like.
