Chipping Campden website development
A town people photograph, a website they trust.
We have been building websites in the north Cotswolds since 2005, and a good part of what we make serves this town directly. Chipping Campden Online is ours, and so is Cotswold Charm, a few streets from the Market Hall. Working this close means a first meeting is a short drive rather than a video call, and the site you end up with is looked after by the people who built it.
See what we build →01
Actually local
Working in the north Cotswolds since 2005, a few miles from the High Street. Close enough that a first meeting can happen over a coffee in town.
02
Built to be found
Structured for Google and for the AI answers that now sit above it, which is two jobs rather than one.
03
Looked after
Hosted, patched and backed up by us. Most of what we have built here we still run today.

Chipping Campden
A town we know, not a postcode on a list.
We have been designing, building and running websites from this corner of the Cotswolds since 2005, and a good part of what we make still serves the town directly. Chipping Campden Online is ours. So is Cotswold Charm, a group of self catering cottages a few streets from the Market Hall.
That matters more than it sounds. A local website has a different job to a national one. Your traffic swells through the summer and thins in February. A good share of your visitors are on a phone with one bar of signal, standing on the High Street, deciding where to go next. And a lot of your best enquiries never touch a search engine at all, because somebody was told about you.
So we build for that. Fast on a poor connection, straight about hours and prices, and structured so that when somebody asks an assistant where to stay, eat or hire in Chipping Campden, yours is a name it can read and repeat with confidence.
GL55 and the streets around it. Retail, hospitality, holiday lets, trades, professional services and the town's charities and community groups.
Broad Campden, Blockley, Ebrington, Mickleton, Aston Subedge, Willersey and Weston Subedge.
Broadway, Moreton in Marsh, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water, Shipston on Stour and Stratford upon Avon.
We work nationally too. Being local is an option, not a limit
What we build
Four kinds of job, one way of working.
Websites for local businesses
The site that does the selling when your shop is shut. Built so somebody standing on the High Street with one bar of signal can still load it, and so your team can change the opening hours themselves without ringing anyone.
Bookings, shops and payments
Rooms, tables, tickets, courses and products. Taking the booking on your own site rather than handing a third of it to a platform is usually the single biggest thing a Cotswolds business can change about its website.
Being found, in Google and in AI answers
Local search has become two jobs. Ranking in the map pack and the results, and being a source that an AI assistant can read and repeat when somebody asks where to stay, eat or hire in Chipping Campden. Both need the same underlying honesty about who you are and what you do.
Hosting and looking after it
Hosting, patching, hourly backups, uptime monitoring and someone local to ring. Most of the sites further down this page have been in our care for years, which is the only reason we can talk about them honestly.

Working in the north Cotswolds since
Twenty years is a long time to have to live with your own decisions. It is also why almost everything on this page is a site we still host, patch and answer the phone for.
How it runs
Five stages, and you see every one of them.
01
Talk
Half an hour on what the site has to do, what is not working now, and who it is really for.
02
Plan
Sitemap, page purpose and a fixed price agreed in writing. This is what everything gets checked against later.
03
Design
You see and sign off the design before a line of it is built, which is the cheapest possible moment to change your mind.
04
Build
Built and tested on a private staging address. You review it on your own phone before anybody else sees it.
05
Look after
Hosting, patching, backups and a monthly look at what the numbers are saying. Or hand it over entirely. Your call.
Questions
The things local businesses actually ask.
Answered plainly, including the one about price.
- Do you actually meet clients in Chipping Campden?
Yes. We are a few miles away, so a first meeting is usually in person if you would rather. Your premises, or a coffee in town. After that most people are happy on the phone, but the option does not go away.
- How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope, goals and features. A five page site for a local trade and a booking system that takes payments are different pieces of work, and quoting either from a price list would be guessing. We will give you a fixed figure in writing after a proper conversation about what the site has to do.
- How long does a build take?
Most local business sites run somewhere between six and ten weeks from the first meeting to going live. The variable is almost never the build. It is content, and how quickly the photographs and the words come back.
- Will my site rank for Chipping Campden searches?
Rankings are earned rather than bought, so we will not promise you a position. What the build does guarantee is that nothing is standing in the way: clean structure, fast pages, correct local markup and a site that Google and the AI assistants can read easily. The rest is content, reviews and time.
- Can I update it myself afterwards?
Yes. Everything we build for local businesses runs on WordPress with an editor your team can actually use. We show you how, we leave you notes, and we are on the end of the phone when something looks odd.
- What happens once it goes live?
We host it, patch it, back it up hourly and keep an eye on it. Most of the sites on this page have been in our care for years, which is rather the point. A site that is looked after stays fast, secure and current, and you never have to think about it.
