Website Creation for Local Businesses in Dorchester and Weymouth
Dorchester grew from the Roman town of Durnovaria and was fictionalised as Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy, while Weymouth became a fashionable Georgian seaside resort after George III first visited for his health in 1789 and later served as a major D-Day embarkation point.
Dorchester was the first BID town in Dorset, and its Chamber for Business has promoted local trade since 1916; Weymouth runs its own separate BID, We Are Weymouth, alongside the century-old Weymouth & Portland Chamber of Commerce. ONS counted 18,000 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
9% of businesses in Dorset were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). With that much movement in the local business population, website creation is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
