Southbourne Grove shoppers make up their minds on a phone
Southbourne Grove is a long street of mostly independent shops, and in the warmer months the beach brings visitors too. Those customers can also reach central Bournemouth, Boscombe and Christchurch easily.
So your website has to give them a reason to stay local: what you sell or do, why it is worth the trip, where you are on the Grove and how to book. Put that on the first screen of a phone and nobody has to go looking.
See how a project runs, browse our latest work, and read our pages for Bournemouth and Christchurch to see where else we work.
Websites we have built
A few of the sites we have designed and built.
What Southbourne shops, salons and studios need from a website
Most shops along the Grove are independent, and people choose each kind of business for a different reason.
Boutiques and gift shops Put new stock in photos at the top with your hours below, so someone weighing up the Grove against town can see what you have today.
Bakeries and cafes Show what you bake, when you open and whether there are seats, so people heading for the beach can plan a stop.
Surf and watersports Give lesson times, what to bring and a booking form, so visitors can reserve before they walk down to the sand.
Hair and beauty salons Make online booking the main button and list your treatments clearly, so regulars can rebook in a minute.
Fitness and wellbeing studios Keep a simple class timetable and a page for first visits, so newcomers know what to expect before they walk in.
Building a Southbourne website that keeps customers local
- Customers can reach Boscombe or central Bournemouth easily, so the top of your homepage says plainly why you are worth choosing here.
- People walking along the Grove are on a phone, so your address, a map and today's hours sit together on the first screen.
- If you are near the cliff railway at Fisherman's Walk, say so in your directions, since it is the way down to the beach.
- If you serve West Southbourne, Tuckton or Wick, an areas page that names them tells people inland that you cover them.
From seaside resort to suburb: Southbourne detail for your site
1870sSouthbourne developed as a seaside resort, by a local doctor
Southbourne is a coastal suburb at the eastern end of Bournemouth, between Boscombe and Christchurch. It was developed from the 1870s as a seaside resort by a local doctor and became part of Bournemouth in the early 1900s. A line of that history can give your About page some local character.
Southbourne Grove, the main street, is largely made up of independent shops, and the cliff railway at Fisherman's Walk leads down to the beach. West Southbourne, Tuckton and Wick lie inland.
Southbourne sits inside Bournemouth and next to Christchurch, and we build for businesses in both.
