A digital agency serving Scarborough businesses
Scarborough is a seaside town on the North Yorkshire coast, with the North Bay and South Bay either side of the headland and its castle. Its spa waters drew visitors from the seventeenth century, and it is often described as Britain’s first seaside resort. Tourism and hospitality remain central to the town.
Our base is in Wakefield and we have no office in Scarborough. If your business is here, we can run your web design, marketing or branding project remotely by phone and video call.
The Scarborough business landscape
Alongside hotels, cafés, attractions and the harbour, Scarborough has a significant manufacturing base: McCain Foods has its GB head office at Eastfield, which is also home to the Plaxton coach-building factory. The Stephen Joseph Theatre, long associated with Sir Alan Ayckbourn, and CU Scarborough, part of the Coventry University Group, add culture and education to the mix.
For visitor businesses the year has a clear rhythm: busy summers and school holidays, then quieter months when residents and repeat customers matter most.
Getting around Scarborough
Scarborough station has direct trains to York, Leeds and Manchester, and the Yorkshire Coast Line runs south to Bridlington and Hull. The A64 is the main road to York and Leeds, and the A165 follows the coast towards Filey and Bridlington. Most visitors arrive by car, so parking and directions are often the first things they look for.
What this means for your business
Your website
If your business is busier in summer, your website must cope with changing opening hours, seasonal offers and bookings without constant developer help. Put prices, opening times, parking and how to book where a visitor standing on the seafront can find them in seconds.
How we approach web designYour marketing
People visiting the coast often plan weeks or months ahead, while residents search closer to the time. Spreading your effort between the two, with search and social activity timed for the season and a steady local presence in the quieter months, helps keep enquiries coming all year.
How we approach digital marketingYour brand
For hospitality and attractions, brand assets work hard: signs, menus, leaflets, social posts and the website. A practical set of files and templates lets seasonal staff produce new material quickly without the look drifting.
How we approach branding and graphic designPractical points
- If you are a manufacturer or supplier rather than a visitor business, reaching buyers across the country may matter more than local search for Scarborough.
- Seasonal staff may need to update menus or offers, so choose a website set-up that non-specialists can edit safely.
- Plan summer content and offers in spring, before the main holiday season starts.
