Web design, marketing and photography in Rotherhithe
Ten minutes up Lower Road from the studio, or one stop on the Overground.
Rotherhithe still behaves like a village inside London: a bend in the river, a church, a pub claiming to be the oldest on the Thames, and a run of small independents along Albion Street that survive on regulars. That is a good position to trade from and a difficult one to grow from, because the passing trade is limited and most new customers arrive having searched for you first. The businesses doing well here are the ones whose website and Google listing look as characterful as the street does.

The things people in this area ask before getting in touch.
Our website is old but we do not want to lose the character of the place.
That is the right instinct and it is mostly a photography problem, not a code problem. We usually start by shooting the premises properly, then build a fast, simple site around those pictures. Rebuilding does not mean looking like everyone else.
Do you take bookings and orders online?
Yes. Booking, payments and order forms are a standard part of a website build. We did exactly that for Surrey Quays Photo Studio on Lower Road, which now takes studio bookings, print orders and gift orders online instead of over the counter.
How do we get found by people walking the Thames Path?
Through your Google Business Profile far more than your website. Visitors search on a phone, in the moment, for a pub or a coffee near them. We get the profile complete, categorised correctly and stocked with real photographs, then make sure the website backs up what it claims.
