Which pitch, on a map
Hardstanding, grass, hook-up, the one by the hedge, the cabins. Guests have strong opinions and no way to express them from a list.
Campsite website design in Suffolk
A campsite website has to answer three questions that a single booking form cannot: which pitch, which week, and what there is to do when it rains.
Campsites are the most under-built websites in hospitality. Most of them are a photograph of a field, a price list and a phone number, and every one of the real questions gets asked by email instead.
Built, and live
Saltings Camp & Cabins
The largest site in the set, and the one with the most to answer before anybody books: which pitch, which week, and what there is to do when it rains. An interactive site map does the first, a seasonal calendar the second, and the marsh itself gets a page of its own rather than a line in a list of amenities.
Saltings Camp & Cabins is a fictional business in an invented Suffolk town, built to the same standard as paid work and deployed to its own address. It is set to noindex so it can never compete with a real campsite in search — everything indexable about it lives on this page instead.
The brief
What this website actually has to do
Which weeks are gone
A calendar that shows the season honestly saves both sides the exchange that ends in “sorry, we’re full”.
The wet Tuesday
What is within walking distance, what is a drive, and what happens if it rains all week. This is the page that converts a family.
What the place actually is
A marsh, a wood, a working farm — the landscape is the product and it deserves more than a line in a list of amenities.
The build
How this one does it
- An interactive site map. Saltings lets you pick the pitch off a drawing of the site rather than from a dropdown of codes.
- A season, not an availability widget. The calendar shows the shape of the year, which is how people actually choose a week.
- The marsh gets its own page. Seven pages of genuinely different questions, each answered where it is asked.
What one costs
Website, built and handed over, from £300. A website designed, built and handed to you outright. You own the site and the hosting account, and there is nothing to keep paying me. Later changes are £49 an hour, only when you ask for them, and there is a monthly option at £89 if you need software as well as a site.
Quotes are fixed and in writing before anything starts, and I show you the finished site on a development link before asking for a penny.
