Web design Lake District

We’re The Creative Branch, a creative agency based in the Lake District, designing and developing websites for businesses across Cumbria and throughout the UK.

The Lake District is home to an extraordinary mix of businesses, from hotels, restaurants and visitor attractions to manufacturers, retailers, professional services and companies selling across the UK and further afield. Each has its own audience, challenges and ambitions, and we believe their websites should reflect that individuality.

From business websites and ecommerce stores to custom development, we bring together design, technology and marketing to create websites that represent your business properly and give your customers what they need.

Why choose a Lake District web design agency?

The internet has made it possible to work with an agency anywhere in the world, but we still believe there’s something to be said for being able to sit down together.

We’re based in Staveley, in the heart of the Lake District, which means we can meet face to face, visit your business and have the conversations that don’t always happen over email or video calls.

Having worked with businesses across the Lake District and Cumbria for more than twenty years, we understand the area, its industries and the particular challenges of doing business here. For some clients, seasonality and tourism are a major consideration. For others, the Lake District is simply where they happen to be based while their customers are spread across the country or the world.

That local knowledge matters when we’re discussing your customers, your competitors and the role your website plays within the business.We also like being able to visit our clients, see what they do and get a proper feel for the people behind the company. You can learn a lot from a brief, but there’s usually more to the story.

What we do

Our designers, developers and marketing team bring different opinions to the table, which makes for some lively discussions and, more importantly, websites that work for your business and your customers.

Website design

Our brand and web creatives make sure your website looks the part, reflects who you are and feels right for the people you want to reach.

Website development

The web team brings the ideas to life, balancing creative ambition with what actually works. From WordPress to custom development and integrations, they find practical solutions while occasionally refereeing the eternal battle between Simon’s creative vision and Jeremy’s all important SEO.

Ecommerce websites

We create online shops that make life easier for your customers and your team, considering everything from finding the right product to completing a purchase. Even the person managing the stock gets a say.

Website redesign

If your website has seen better days, our whole team will take a good look at what’s working, what’s not and what needs to change. From branding and design to development, SEO and the customer journey, we bring everyone’s expertise together to give your website a new lease of life.

SEO and digital marketing

Our marketing and content team makes sure your website isn’t just a pretty face. They consider how people find you, what they’re looking for and what happens when they arrive, even if that means another spirited discussion with Simon about the homepage.

 

Why The Creative Branch?

We’re a Lake District creative agency with designers, developers and marketing specialists working together under one roof. This means we can consider your website as part of your wider business, rather than simply another design project.

Being local also means we understand that businesses here can have very different audiences. You might rely heavily on visitors coming to the Lake District, sell products to customers across the UK or run a company that happens to have one of the best commutes in the country. Your website needs to be built around your business rather than assumptions about where you’re based.

Once your website is live, we’re still here to help with hosting, support, development and marketing.

Our work

We’ve designed and developed websites for businesses across hospitality, manufacturing, retail and professional services, so we’re no strangers to a varied brief.

Living and working in the Lake District means hospitality and tourism naturally form part of our portfolio, but they’re far from the whole story. We work with organisations across Cumbria and beyond.
