We checked the search data before writing this page, because we always do. The tools that track who ranks for website design in Margate barely return anything. The demand is real, a couple of hundred searches a month, more than most Kent towns. The supply is so thin the SERP hardly registers. A town this full of new businesses, served this lightly, is not a situation that lasts.
Because Margate is not short of businesses that need to look good. It might be the most design-literate town in the county.
Turner Contemporary, Dreamland brought back to life, the Old Town full of galleries and studios, Cliftonville turning street by street. Margate’s story for a decade has been creative people arriving and opening things, and their customers arrived with them. This is a town where the average punter has opinions about typography.
That cuts both ways for a local business. A sharp website earns real credit here, from customers who notice. A dated one is noticed too, and in Margate it gets judged the way a bad shop window would on a street full of good ones. The visual bar is a local condition, like the sea air.
Underneath the galleries, the town is one big renovation site. Cliftonville’s housing stock is being brought back room by room, the Edwardian terraces need everything doing, and the trades carrying that work are booked through word of mouth that a good website multiplies. A decorator restoring cornicing in Cliftonville, rewires in Westbrook, damp-proofing in Garlinge, kitchen fits out at Westgate and Birchington, each of those is its own search and deserves its own page, across CT9 and the wider Thanet patch.
That page-per-service, page-per-area structure is the secret sauce in every site we build, shaped by twenty years of SEO. Add the essentials, one-second loading, real photos of real jobs, reviews doing the vouching, one clear next step, and you get a website design that works as hard as the town does.
£79 a month and £0 to start, with hosting, security, edits and the search build-out riding along. Owning the site outright is a one-off option listed on the pricing page. First you see a free demo of your own homepage within 48 hours, judged with your own eyes before a penny moves.
Yes, and we’d better. Every site is designed from scratch around the business it serves; nothing comes off a shelf. If you already have a strong identity we build to it faithfully. If you don’t, twenty years of doing this tends to help. Judge the transformations and this site itself.
Margate runs on small independents, and the ones that show up well online take a disproportionate share of both the visitor trade and the local work. One steady customer a month covers the cost. Most gain more than one.
All of Margate including Cliftonville, Westbrook, Garlinge, Westgate and Birchington, and the rest of Thanet with it. Our own office is down the road in Broadstairs, with Ramsgate and Herne Bay minutes away.
