SidedoorSouthport

Websites and booking systems, built in Southport.

Sidedoor Digital is based in Southport. If you run a cafe on Lord Street, a salon in Birkdale Village or a shop in Churchtown, the person building your site is down the road, not at the end of a support ticket.

Knock on the door

Built here, for here

Southport trade has its own rhythm. Quiet weekday mornings, then a weekend or a show brings half the North West through town, all of them on their phones searching for somewhere to eat, something to do or somewhere to get their nails done before a night out.

The job is making sure your place is the one they find, and that they can book, order or buy there and then, without ringing you in the middle of a rush.

A website that shows up when people search nearby
Built from scratch around your place, fast on a phone, and set up for Google and Maps so visitors and locals searching near me find you first.
Bookings that take themselves
Deposits, reminders and a waitlist that fills a cancelled slot on its own, so a busy Saturday runs without the phone ringing off the hook.
Till, stock and online shop in one place
Sell over the counter and online without two sets of stock and two sets of numbers.
Loyalty that brings visitors back
Digital stamp cards and offers on customers’ phones, so a day tripper this summer becomes a regular next year.
Everything on the list

Work you can look at

Some of it is already on the street. Digz n’ Lidz on Lord Street takes its RC digger sessions online and runs the day from its own staff dashboard, and Rubies & Pearls sells antique jewellery out of Southport with a catalogue built to feel like a glass cabinet.

Questions from Southport businesses

Can we meet in person?

Yes. I’m based in Southport, so a first chat at your place, over a brew, is the normal way to start. After that most of it can happen by message, whatever suits you.

Do you only work with Southport businesses?

No, but this is home, so local jobs get the most face time. I also build for businesses in Preston, Liverpool, Birkenhead and across the UK.

How much does a website cost in Southport?

A fair one off build fee, then a low monthly fee that covers hosting, backups, changes and support. Payment plans are there if you’d rather spread it. You get a clear price before anything starts.

Can you sort my Google Business Profile too?

Yes. Getting your Google profile, reviews and site working together is a big part of showing up when people search nearby.
