Web Development in Lichfield

Web development for Lichfield businesses

Whoooop Ltd builds and looks after websites for businesses across Lichfield and the surrounding villages. We've worked in full-stack development for over 15 years. Lichfield is a small city that punches above its weight — independent shops and cafés around Bird Street and the cathedral, a steady run of visitors, and a good number of professional firms whose clients sit further afield. A site here is often the first thing someone judges you on, so it needs to look the part and be easy to use. If you're starting from scratch, or replacing something that's looking tired, we'll build you a site that earns its place.

What we build

A city that's judged on how it looks

Lichfield trades partly on its appearance and its history. People come for the cathedral, the markets and a wander round the independents, and they decide where to eat or shop in the few seconds it takes a website to load. A slow or dated site undercuts that first impression before anyone's read a word. We build sites that load fast, show the things visitors are looking for — where you are, when you're open, what's on — and make booking a table or buying online straightforward rather than fiddly.

Holding on to local spending

Lichfield sits on the A38 and the Trent Valley line, twenty minutes or so from Birmingham. That's good for a city full of commuters, but it also means a lot of spending can drift toward the bigger shops and bigger names down the line. A site that looks every bit as polished as a city competitor's is part of how you keep that trade local. For professional firms whose clients are scattered well beyond Lichfield, the website often does more selling than the office ever will — it needs to make the case clearly and be quick to deal with.

Close by, set up to work remotely

We can meet in Lichfield when it helps, and handle everything else over email, calls and shared screens. Most of a build runs perfectly well without anyone driving anywhere, and you still get a developer who answers the phone rather than a ticket queue. If you already have a site and it's the speed that's letting you down, our website speed optimisation page explains how we approach that.
