Web design · Ironbridge
Ionic works from the Gorge, a few minutes from the bridge. The inn, the B&B, the gallery, the café and the Christmas lights all run on websites we built, so we know what an Ironbridge business needs from its site.

Websites around
the bridge.
8 Ironbridge businesses run on websites we designed and built, and the interiors showroom came to us for a full audit. Most of them are a short walk from the bridge.
The Golden Ball Inn

Rooms that look straight onto the world’s first iron bridge, with availability and bookings on the site.

More of our neighbours
Tea room and café
A traditional tea room right beside the Iron Bridge. Menus, rooms to stay in and the view itself, one tap from the home page.
Independent café
Nick and Jenny’s café beside the bridge, with courtyard tables, the menu and a guide to planning a day in the Gorge.
Ice cream parlour
Traditional ice cream in the heart of Ironbridge: every flavour, the prices and where to find the shop.
Built for the Gorge
A World Heritage Site brings visitors. Your website books them.
Most people find an Ironbridge business before they arrive: planning a day out, a weekend away or a walk along the Severn. They are usually on a phone, often comparing three places at once.
So the sites we build here put the booking first. A table at the Golden Ball, a room at Bridge View, a stall at the Christmas market or a printmaking workshop at the gallery: each one is a tap or two from the home page, on a site that loads quickly even on a patchy signal in the valley.
Then we keep it current through the seasons, from summer opening hours to the winter lights, with WordPress care and UK hosting run by the people who built it.

For Gorge businesses
What we build for
businesses by the bridge.
Cafés, inns, guest houses, galleries and shops in the Gorge share the same busy weekends and quiet winters. These are the six things we build in for them.
A site that matches the place
Real photographs of your rooms, your counter and your view of the Gorge, on a design built for you rather than borrowed from a template.
Found by visitors before they arrive
Day-trippers plan on their phones. We make sure the searches they use lead to you, and that your Google listing tells the same story. From £350 a month.
Quick on a valley signal
Lean pages on UK hosting, with backups and SSL, so a visitor standing by the river still gets your menu in seconds.
Looked after through the seasons
Opening hours, menus, events and the Christmas lights updated for you, with security handled by the people who built it.
Bookings that fill the quiet weeks
Tables, rooms, workshops and stalls booked on the site, so a wet Tuesday in February still takes reservations.
AI that keeps your voice
Help for owners and staff to draft replies, listings and menus with AI while still sounding like you.

Meet in person
Talk it through over a coffee in the Gorge.
Local clients meet us face to face, at your place or ours. Bring the menu, the room list or the opening hours, and we will show you how they become a site that books. Read how we approach web design across Shropshire, or see all our work.
Pop in for a brew, or leave your number and Gareth will ring you back. Either way you talk to the person who would build your site.
- Meet in the Gorge or on a call, whichever suits
- Straight advice on bookings, search and your Google listing
- No charge for the first conversation
