Web design in Greenwich
In Greenwich a world-heritage visitor economy sits directly alongside an ordinary residential one, frequently on the same street.
The two rarely need the same website, and businesses that try to serve both from one page usually serve neither well.
- Tourism and heritage
- Hospitality
- Trades and property
- Events
- Professional services
Selling to Greenwich
Worth knowing hereTourist-facing and resident-facing businesses sit side by side here and rarely need the same website.
Two audiences, two sets of questions
A visitor wants orientation, opening times, prices, how long things take and what is nearby. A resident wants to know you are open, what it costs and how to book.
Visitors also arrive with no context at all, which means what reads as obvious to a local — which entrance, which side of the park, which station — needs stating.
Separate pages let each be answered properly. It is the same business, described twice, for two people in completely different situations.
Visitor demand is predictable
Weekends, school holidays and events drive the visitor side on a pattern you can plan around, which means content can be prepared rather than improvised.
The peninsula is a third market
Commercial development around the peninsula brings business customers and event traffic that have nothing to do with either the heritage visitors or the residential streets.
Questions people here ask
- Can one page serve visitors and residents?
- Seldom well. They arrive with different knowledge and different questions, and a blended page answers neither properly.
- What do visitors need that locals do not?
- Orientation — which entrance, which station, what is nearby and how long things take. Locals already know all of it.
- Is visitor demand predictable?
- Largely. Weekends, holidays and events follow a pattern, so the content for them can be ready in advance.
