Web Design & Development Porthcawl

Porthcawl is a popular seaside resort of 16,000 residents in Bridgend County Borough, renowned for its beaches, golf courses, and the annual Porthcawl Elvis Festival, one of the largest Elvis tribute festivals in the world. The town's economy is heavily tourism-dependent, making digital presence crucial for businesses competing for visitor spending.

Rest Bay, Trecco Bay, Sandy Bay, and the harbour area each offer distinct character and draw different visitor segments, surfers at Rest Bay, families at Trecco Bay's holiday park, and day-trippers to the harbour and Grand Pavilion. Businesses across these areas need websites that capture the coastal atmosphere while providing practical booking and information functionality.

Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, one of the UK's premier links courses and a Ryder Cup venue, brings golf tourism to the town year-round. Accommodation providers, restaurants, and transport services all benefit from this high-spending visitor segment, and their websites need to communicate quality to a discerning audience.

Accommodation businesses in Porthcawl, from hotels and B&Bs to holiday parks and self-catering properties, need booking-enabled websites that showcase their properties with professional photography, clear pricing, and availability calendars. Integration with booking platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb can also drive direct bookings that avoid commission fees.

Restaurants, cafés, and bars along the seafront and harbour area benefit from visually appealing websites that feature menus, atmosphere photography, and easy-to-find location and opening information. Mobile optimisation is essential, visitors frequently search for dining options while walking the promenade or exploring the town.

The Grand Pavilion is Porthcawl's cultural venue, hosting entertainment, community events, and performances. Events businesses, performers, and associated hospitality operators need websites that integrate with event calendars and drive ticket sales or bookings during show seasons.

Porthcawl's challenge is extending visitor seasons beyond summer. Your website can help by promoting off-season attractions, winter surfing at Rest Bay, autumn walks along the heritage coastline, spring golf at Royal Porthcawl, and year-round dining. Seasonal landing pages and content strategies keep your website relevant and ranking throughout the year.

We build websites using Next.js with fast performance, stunning visual design, and SEO optimisation for tourism searches. The CF36 postcode area is your primary local market, but tourism SEO targets searches from across the UK, "surfing Wales," "seaside breaks South Wales," and "Elvis Festival Porthcawl" all bring potential customers to your website.

Whether you're a surf school at Rest Bay, a pub overlooking the harbour, a holiday letting agency, or a golf-related business, we create websites that convert browsing visitors into paying customers.
