Web design in Halifax

An audience that arrives already persuaded

Somebody who has travelled here because of something they watched does not need convincing that the town is worth seeing. They need to know what to do once they arrive, and where to eat while doing it.

That makes practical, local content unusually valuable: what is within walking distance, where to park, what opens when, and what is worth an hour on a wet afternoon.

A hospitality business that publishes genuinely useful local information becomes part of the visit rather than a name on a list, and gets found by people searching for the place rather than for a restaurant.

The industrial townscape is the draw

The architecture and the setting are what people came for, so photographs that show the town rather than only your interior do more work than they would anywhere else.

Finance and manufacturing behind the tourism

Halifax also has substantial financial services and manufacturing employment, which buys on credentials and evidence and has nothing to do with the visitor economy.

Questions people here ask

How do we reach visitors who came because of a programme?

Publish practical local content — what is nearby, parking, opening times, what fills an afternoon. They are already sold on the town; they need help using it.

What should the photographs show?

The town as well as the business. The setting is a large part of why people travelled, and it is what they recognise.

Does this apply to non-tourism businesses?

Not really. Financial services and manufacturing here buy on credentials and evidence, and are better served by their own pages.
