Where boating dreams begin.
Salterns Marina has a story very few businesses can match, with a legacy stretching back more than two hundred years through historic salt-making and pioneering seaplane operations. Today it stands as a beacon of maritime heritage on Poole Harbour, and the marina wanted a website carrying the same sense of quality and permanence. As a web design team based just along the shore in Poole, we were delighted to take that on.
A destination like this asks more of a website than good looks. Visitors arrive with very different intentions, from berthing enquiries to simply planning a day by the water, and the site needed to guide each of them without fuss. Clear navigation, generous imagery and a calm, confident design were the priorities from the first conversation onwards.
We designed and built a site that puts the marina itself front and centre, with a structure that makes every part of the offering easy to find. It is mobile-first, quick to load and set on SEO-ready foundations, so the marina stays visible to the people actively searching for it.
The finished website now works as the marina's front door. Whether someone is researching from an armchair at home or checking details from the pontoon on a phone, the experience is fast and straightforward. It is a fitting online home for a place where boating dreams begin.
Our design reflects the character of the marina itself, calm, assured and steeped in quality. Strong imagery and uncluttered layouts let the setting do the talking while keeping every service easy to find.
We developed the site to perform on every device, with clean code, fast load times and a responsive layout. The build gives the marina a dependable platform that can grow with the business.
Fast, secure hosting keeps the website online and healthy around the clock. With regular backups and proactive care from our Poole team, the marina never has to think about it.
