Web development for Stone businesses
Whoooop Ltd builds and maintains websites for businesses in Stone and the surrounding part of Staffordshire. It's a market town that has held on to its independents — the high street is still mostly small shops, cafés and family firms rather than chains, and the Trent and Mersey Canal brings a steady run of visitors through the middle of town. Sitting on the A34 between Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent, plenty of local firms are chasing custom that could just as easily drift off to either city, and a site that loads quickly and says the right thing is often what keeps that trade local. We've worked in full-stack development for more than 15 years, so whether you're starting with nothing online or stuck with a site that's quietly stopped pulling its weight, we can sort it.
What we can do
A site that pays for itself
Quick to load, plain about what you offer, and built so calling, booking or buying is one tap away — not a hunt through three menus.
Selling beyond the town
For shops and makers reaching past the high street. Shopify where it earns its keep, a bespoke build where your stock or pricing won't fit a template — with secure checkout and orders that land somewhere you'll see them.
Booking and customer tools
Appointment and table bookings, member logins, the odd bit of software that runs part of the business. When a job grows past a website, our web application development page covers it.
Picking up a neglected site
Inherited something you can't edit, or lost touch with whoever built it? We'll take it on, fix what's broken and keep it maintained from then on.
Local, without making a fuss of it
We're based in the Potteries, a short run north up the A34, so Stone sits comfortably inside the area we work. Most of a build happens over email and the odd call whatever the distance, and we'll meet in person when it genuinely helps rather than out of habit. Either way you deal with one developer who reads and answers their own email — not a ticket number passed between a sales line and a queue you never see. We build in TypeScript, React and Node.js on modern hosting and test on real phones, because a fair share of the people deciding whether to get in touch are looking at your site on one.
Helping nearby customers find you
A site only earns its keep if the people searching for what you do can actually find it. We handle the technical and on-page groundwork — page structure, loading speed and the markup search engines really read — so you stand a fair chance of turning up when someone close by goes looking. If selling online is the main job, our e-commerce web development page goes into that side in more detail.
Areas we cover
We work with businesses in Stone itself — the town centre, Walton, Oulton and the estates around them — and out to Yarnfield, Barlaston, Meaford, Aston, Tittensor and Swynnerton. Stafford to the south is covered on our web development in Stafford page, and for the Potteries to the north our web development in Stoke-on-Trent page takes that end of the county.
