Why Choose Brambla in St Ives?
Brambla is a web design agency serving St Ives, Cornwall — founded in Maidstone, Kent, and now based in Northlew, Devon. We build fixed-price websites for the town's galleries, artists, and hospitality businesses, alongside Cornwall-wide clients across tourism, retail, and professional services. Pricing starts at £1,200 for the 7 Day Website and £2,500 for a Custom build, with every project hosted, secured, and maintained afterwards.
A World-Class Gallery and Arts Economy
St Ives occupies a rare position in British culture — a working fishing port and a world-class arts destination at once, home to Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, and dozens of independent galleries that draw serious collectors and curious visitors alike. That cultural weight means the standard for how businesses present themselves is higher here than in most comparable-sized towns.
The creative economy is substantial: artists, photographers, ceramicists, textile designers, sculptors, jewellers, and printmakers all need an online presence that does justice to the work they produce. A generic website built on a basic template doesn't cut it when the work itself is exceptional, and when visitors are used to a certain visual standard.
Tourism, Hospitality and a Longer Season
Beyond the galleries, St Ives runs a significant hospitality and tourism economy. The beaches — Porthmeor, Carbis Bay, Porthminster — pull a different kind of visitor than a purely beach-focused resort: families, couples, art-focused tourists, and people returning year after year. The accommodation market here spans boutique hotels to self-catering cottages, and the quality end competes nationally.
Seasonality is real, but St Ives has a longer shoulder season than most Cornish towns — the Tate and the galleries operate year-round, attracting visitors in November and February who wouldn't otherwise visit. That means the off-season online opportunity is genuine for the right businesses.
Two Ways to Get Online in St Ives
Not every St Ives business needs the same build. Here are the two most popular starting points — and if your project needs more, a Custom Website from £2,500 gives you bespoke design and a full content management system.
LIVE30
Free build · £30/month
One page, built for you, with managed hosting, security, and updates included. Free first month, then £30 a month, rolling — a fully managed service, so the site stays live for as long as the plan is active.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build a website for an art gallery or artist in St Ives?
At Brambla, yes — this is something we do well. Artist and gallery websites need to present work at its best: large, high-resolution images, a clean layout that doesn't compete with the art, clear pricing or enquiry paths, and an exhibitions or events section that stays current. We build sites that give the work the space it deserves while still converting browsers into buyers or visitors.
St Ives gets huge visitor numbers. How do I rank for tourist searches?
At Brambla, local SEO is central to what we do. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and create content around the searches your visitors use — things like 'things to do in St Ives', 'St Ives gallery open today', or 'beach café St Ives Cornwall'. Ranking in these searches during peak months can make a significant difference to footfall and online bookings.
I'm a creative business — will my website look as good as the work I produce?
At Brambla, that's the standard we hold ourselves to. We work closely with you on visual direction, typography, colour palette, and layout — not just dropping your content into a template. St Ives has a strong visual culture and your site should reflect that. If you have a brand identity already, we build around it. If not, we can help with that too.
How quickly can you build a website for a seasonal St Ives business?
At Brambla, our 7 Day Website can get you live in a week from £1,200 — useful if you need to be ready before the Easter rush or the summer season. For more considered projects with custom design and complex requirements, typical turnaround is three to six weeks depending on content readiness.
Do you manage websites after launch?
At Brambla, yes. Our WebsiteCare service covers hosting, security monitoring, SSL, automated backups, and software updates. Plans start from £65/month. Growth and Premium plans include support minutes for content changes — useful if you need to update gallery stock, add events, or change opening hours through the season.
What's the difference between LIVE30, the 7 Day Website and a Custom build?
At Brambla, LIVE30 is a free one-page build for £30 a month — fully managed, cancel any time, ideal for a simple online presence. The 7 Day Website is a fixed-price multi-page site from £1,200, live within a week. A Custom build starts at £2,500 for bespoke design, a content management system, and room to grow. All three are hosted and maintained by Brambla.
Is there a cheaper option than £1,200 for a St Ives business?
At Brambla, yes — LIVE30 is a genuinely free build: one page, professionally designed, for £30 a month afterwards. It's a fully managed service, so the site stays live for as long as the plan is active; cancel it and the site comes down. It suits a simple one-page presence — an artist's portfolio page, for example — while the 7 Day Website (from £1,200) suits a fuller multi-page site.
