# Web Design in Southport

Source: https://dijitulwebdesign.co.uk/locations/southport/

> dijitul builds websites for Southport's Lord Street retailers, hotels, golf and leisure businesses, care homes and health practices. We work remotely from Mansfield and keep designs classic, clear and easy to read. A custom website starts from £250 + VAT, and an online shop with click-and-collect for an independent retailer starts from £750 + VAT.

Southport's Victorian elegance suits websites that are calm, classic and well made rather than loud. Under the glass canopies and in the arcades of Lord Street you will find independent fashion, gift and homeware shops. Many now sell online as well, and an online shop that matches the look and feel of the shop, offers click-and-collect and connects to the till so stock stays accurate is a big step up from a social media page.

Golf matters here. Royal Birkdale is an Open Championship venue, and more celebrated links courses run down the coast to Formby. Hotels, guest houses and restaurants serving golfers and visitors need direct booking, golf break packages and pages that load quickly on a phone. Big championships bring a rush of searches, so site updates belong well ahead of the event.

- Lord Street retailers: ecommerce with click-and-collect and EPOS links
- Hotels and restaurants: direct booking, menus and golf packages
- Golf clubs and leisure venues: visitor information, membership and events
- Care homes and home care agencies: care home websites with large, readable type
- Dentists and health practices: treatment pages and online booking
- Estate agents and financial planners: trust-led service sites

The town has many older residents, so care and health services are major employers. Their websites are often read by older people and their families, so accessibility matters: generous text sizes, strong contrast, clear navigation and phone numbers that are easy to tap.

Local search competition is moderate. Formby, Ainsdale and Birkdale businesses should name their own area clearly rather than relying on Southport alone.

### Can you build an accessible website for a Southport care home?

Yes. We build care home sites to WCAG 2.2 AA with large readable text, strong contrast, simple navigation, your CQC rating, virtual tour or photo galleries and a careers section. Families and older visitors can find what they need quickly. Most fit our Business package from £500 + VAT.

### Do you cover Formby, Ainsdale and Ormskirk?

Yes. We build websites for businesses along the Sefton coast and West Lancashire, including Formby, Ainsdale, Birkdale, Ormskirk and Banks. Everything is done remotely by video call and private preview links, so location makes no difference to the price.

### Can our Lord Street shop's website link to our till?

Usually, yes. Shopify connects directly to Shopify POS, and WooCommerce can connect to many EPOS systems such as Square or Epos Now, so stock levels stay in step between the shop and the website. Ecommerce builds start from £750 + VAT.
