Websites for a market town that likes to put on a show

Ulverston has a character all of its own. The streets below the Hoad monument are lined with independent shops, delis, galleries and cafés, the street market fills the town centre on Thursdays and Saturdays, and the calendar is so full of lantern processions, walking weekends, carnivals and Dickensian Christmas fairs that it calls itself the festival town. Behind that sits a serious employer base, with the GSK pharmaceutical site on the edge of town and a ring of engineers, contractors and service firms working around it. Visitors come for Stan Laurel's birthplace and the Laurel and Hardy Museum, and stay for the shops. A good Ulverston website has to serve all of that.

Independent shops and makers

Online shops, click and collect and gift vouchers for the boutiques, delis and galleries of King Street and Market Street, so sales do not stop when the shutters come down.

Festivals and events

Programme pages, ticketing, and stallholder and volunteer sign-ups that one organiser can run, ready for the next weekend the town fills up.

Contractors and suppliers

Credible sites for the firms serving GSK and other Furness employers: capabilities, accreditations, safety records and a quick way to ask for a quote.

Events and independents

From one-weekend festivals to year-round shops

Events are where Ulverston's websites work hardest. A festival site has a few weeks of intense traffic, then months of quiet, and it is usually looked after by a committee that changes every year. We build event sites that are easy to hand over: a programme that updates in one place, maps and parking information that work on a phone in a crowd, and ticket or stall bookings that do not need a separate system. For Lakeland Life Events, Cumbria's street food and event organisers, we built a complete bespoke event management system, so we understand the back office as well as the public pages.

For shops and small firms the problem is different: too many hours lost to admin. We can automate the repetitive parts, such as answering stock and opening-time questions, chasing invoices or sending booking confirmations, through our AI automation service in Cumbria, so you spend more time behind the counter.

Over the Duddon

Millom to Ulverston in about 35 minutes

From our office on the Devonshire Road Industrial Estate in Millom, Ulverston is about 19 miles by road: up the A595 through Broughton-in-Furness to Grizebeck, then across on the A5092 and down into the town. Most journeys take around 35 minutes, so a first meeting in your shop, workshop or office is easy to arrange, and we can take our own photographs of your premises and products while we are there.

We cover Low Furness and the Leven valley the same way, including Swarthmoor, Pennington, Lindal, Dalton-in-Furness, Greenodd and Newby Bridge. Once the site is live, support is by phone, email and screen share, so small changes never wait for a visit.
