Web Development in Alderley Edge
Websites, online shops and booking systems for Alderley Edge's restaurants, boutiques and professional firms
Web development for Alderley Edge businesses
Alderley Edge does a lot of its trade with people who don't live here. The restaurants and bars along London Road, the boutiques, the salons and the design-led independents pull custom from across Cheshire and south Manchester for an evening out or a Saturday browse — and most of those people look you up on a phone first. A site that loads slowly or looks dated turns them away before they've reached the village. Whoooop Ltd has built full-stack websites for over 15 years, the kind that hold up in front of an audience with money and no shortage of alternatives.
What we can build for you
Sites for hospitality and retail
For restaurants, bars and boutiques where the first impression is everything — menus, opening hours and a booking link that all work cleanly on a phone, because that's where the decision gets made.
Online booking
Tables, treatments and appointments people can reserve the moment they're interested, rather than waiting for a call back. Our booking system development page covers how that fits together.
Online shops
For independent retailers selling well beyond the village — secure checkout and stock that stays accurate, in a shop that feels as considered as the one on London Road. See e-commerce web development.
Rebuilding a tired site
If your current site is slow, awkward on mobile or simply showing its age, we can redesign and rebuild it without throwing away what already brings people in.
A village that draws people in
The name comes from the wooded sandstone ridge above the village — the Edge itself, looked after by the National Trust and wrapped in the old story of the wizard said to sleep beneath it. The walks and the views bring weekend visitors on top of the regular evening crowd, so a good slice of local custom is passing trade making its mind up on the spot. We build in TypeScript, React and Node.js on modern hosting and test on real phones, because a site that stutters on mobile loses exactly the person who was about to book a table.
Being found at the right moment
Looking the part is only half of it; the site has to surface when someone nearby is searching for dinner, a hair appointment, or a shop that stocks what they want. We handle the technical and on-page groundwork — sensible page structure, loading speed, and the markup search engines read — so you've a fair shot at turning up. There's more on our SEO services page, and once a site is live we can keep it looked after so it stays fast and current.
Where we work
We work with businesses through the village and the lanes around it — London Road and the station approach, Nether Alderley and Mottram St Andrew, out towards Chelford and Prestbury. Wilmslow is the next town north and Macclesfield a short drive south; our web development in Wilmslow and web development in Macclesfield pages cover those, with the rest of north-east Cheshire within easy reach.

Get in TouchFrequently asked questions
Do you build websites for businesses in Alderley Edge?
Yes. Whoooop Ltd works with Alderley Edge businesses and others across Cheshire, from sole traders to established firms. Most of a project runs over email and calls, with an in-person meeting when it genuinely helps — so being a short drive away matters less than getting the site right.
What kind of websites do you build?
Marketing and brochure sites, online shops, booking systems and bespoke web applications. We can also take over, fix or redesign a site you already have. Everything is built to work properly on a phone, since that is where most Alderley Edge customers will find you.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is quoted individually — a simple brochure site and a bespoke web app are very different pieces of work. Tell us roughly what you need and we will give you a straight price rather than a package that half-fits. There is no charge for the initial conversation.
Do we need to meet in person?
Usually not. Most work happens over email and video calls, which keeps things moving and keeps costs down. If a face-to-face meeting would help, we can arrange one in Alderley Edge or nearby.
Can you help my website show up on Google?
Yes. We handle the technical and on-page side of SEO — site structure, loading speed and the markup search engines read — so your site has a fair shot at ranking for local searches in Alderley Edge and across Cheshire.
What technologies do you use?
We build with TypeScript, React and Node.js on modern, fast hosting, with 15+ years of full-stack experience behind it. For a straightforward site that means quick, reliable pages; for something more involved it means a codebase that is still safe to change years later.
