— The local picture
Websites for a town with two populations
Newquay parish had 23,626 people at the 2021 census, and in summer the town can hold more than 100,000. Fistral may be the best known surf beach in Britain, Boardmasters brings around 50,000 people for one weekend in August, and the airport and the branch line from Par bring many more. Winter is a different town, and a business has to work in both.
Newquay is also growing outwards. St Columb Minor, Porth, Crantock and Quintrell Downs are now counted as suburbs, and the Duchy of Cornwall's Nansledan is planned for up to 3,700 homes. So the customers are not all tourists. A plumber, a nursery or a hairdresser here serves a year-round population that searches for them in the same way.
What I'd build for a Newquay business
For a surf school, I'd put lesson times, what's included, age limits and online booking on the first screen, with a note on what happens when the sea is flat or too big. For a café or bar, seasonal hours and a menu that loads on a weak signal. For a trade, a service area naming Porth, St Columb Minor, Quintrell Downs and Nansledan.

— Common questions
Asked by Newquay businesses
How do I keep work coming in over the winter?
Aim the site at both audiences. Summer pages speak to visitors, and winter pages speak to locals, with the services people in Newquay use all year. On the Growth plan I set up and look after your Google Business Profile, so it stays accurate through the quiet months.
Should I build pages for each beach?
Only where you genuinely operate. A surf school working from Fistral should say so clearly, because people search by beach name. Thin copy-and-paste pages for every beach tend to do more harm than good, so I'd write fewer pages and make each one useful.
Can the site handle a rush of bookings in August?
It can, if bookings go through a proper online system rather than a phone line, so the site takes them while you're in the water. We'd agree which booking system to use at the start. I design the site free and send you the home page as a private link first; hosting is £50 a month plus VAT.
