Websites for the Auld Grey Town's businesses
Kendal does a bit of everything. It is the shopping and services centre for the South Lakes, the last proper town before the National Park for many visitors, and home to makers whose names travel well beyond Westmorland, from the mint cake confectioners to the shoemaking heritage of K Shoes. Between the Westmorland Shopping Centre, the yards off Stricklandgate and Highgate, and the offices of solicitors, accountants and land agents, local firms need very different things from a website. We design each one around the customer it has to win, not around a theme.
Independent retailers
Click and collect, gift cards and stock that is easy to browse on a phone, so shoppers who find you on a wet Saturday can buy again from home.
Makers & food producers
Product pages and trade enquiry forms that tell a Kendal story to stockists in Manchester, London or abroad, with online ordering when you want it.
Professional services
Clear, accessible sites for practices that need to look established, explain fees plainly and book consultations without phone tag.
Visitors and makers
Turning Lakes visitors into customers all year
A huge number of people pass through Kendal on their way to Windermere, Ambleside and the fells, and many of them plan the trip online the night before. Cafés, outdoor shops, galleries, guest houses and attractions in and around the town win those visits with a site that loads quickly on poor signal, shows opening hours that are actually correct, and takes a booking or an order there and then. We build those features into WordPress so you keep both the customer and the commission.
Kendal's manufacturers and food producers have a different problem: wholesale buyers and stockists want specifications, minimum orders and a fast answer. We can automate the repetitive part, from quote requests to stock questions, with the tools described on our AI automation in Cumbria page. For a working example of direct booking that cut out the middleman, see West Lakes Stays.
Getting to you
From Millom to Kendal in about an hour
Our office is at Unit 13B, Devonshire Road Industrial Estate in Millom, roughly 38 miles from Kendal along the A595 and A590 past Greenodd and Levens. We are happy to make that drive for the first meeting, for photography of your shop or workshop, and for training when the site launches. Between visits, changes and support are handled by phone, email and screen share, so you never wait for us to be in town. Kendal, Oxenholme, Burneside, Staveley, Natland, Milnthorpe, Levens and Kirkby Lonsdale are all covered.
Work you can look at
Lake District and Cumbrian projects
The best way to judge us is to look at what we have already built. Total Access Scaffolding works across Kendal, Windermere and the rest of Cumbria, and we gave it a page for every area it serves. Way Out West Mountain Adventures takes bookings for guided walks in the western Lakes through a platform we built, and the Learner Management System for the South Cumbria Skills Exchange went from brief to live in 23 days. Our web design page covers everything else, from ecommerce to council websites.
