Website design
in Guernsey.

Arctic Media designs and builds conversion-focused websites for Guernsey businesses: planned around the enquiries you want, custom-coded to load fast on a phone, and measured on what visitors do, by a Channel Islands agency based in Jersey.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

A website that confirms the recommendation

In Guernsey, plenty of customers hear about you from someone they know, then look you up before they get in touch. DataReportal counts around 54,000 internet users on the island, about 84% of the population (Digital 2026: Guernsey), so your website is often the second opinion after the first recommendation.

We design around that moment: what a visitor needs to see, believe and click before they contact you. Every layout is planned for your business, then built in custom code, with no page-builder templates or plugin sprawl, so it loads fast on a phone and stays fast.

  • Bespoke UX and UI design
  • Custom-coded build and CMS
  • Copy and page structure for how Guernsey customers search
  • Analytics wired to enquiries, calls and bookings
HOW IT'S MEASURED

Measured on enquiries, not visits

Every site ships with analytics wired to the actions that matter (enquiry forms, calls and bookings), so you can see what the website brings in. Inside our Cold Fusion system the website is the layer that catches what your content and Facebook and Instagram ads create, which is the difference between a cheap click and a cheap lead.

HOW A BUILD RUNS

From brief to launch

Most websites go from brief to launch in 2 to 4 weeks. The work runs over calls, email and our client portal, where you review and approve each stage.

  • Discovery. Your goals, your customers and what a good enquiry looks like.
  • Structure and content. A page for each service, written for the way people in Guernsey search for it.
  • Design and build. Planned on a phone first, then custom-coded.
  • Launch and measure. Analytics on enquiries, then improvements from what the data shows.
GUERNSEY DETAILS

Small things that build local trust

Show a Guernsey phone number and say plainly which parishes or islands you serve. Use photos of your real premises and team, and put reviews from local customers near the button you want pressed.

Guernsey also has its own data protection law, The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017, overseen by the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA). Your website’s privacy notice should name the law that actually applies to you rather than only UK GDPR, and your adviser should confirm the wording.

BUILT TO BE FOUND

Ready for Google and AI search

Every page is delivered as complete HTML with its own title, description and structured data, plus a sitemap, so Google and AI assistants such as ChatGPT can read every word without running scripts. Each service page names the service and the island, the way people search for it. Our checklist of what a business website needs to win enquiries applies in Guernsey too.

WHAT AFFECTS COST

What shapes the price of a website

The number of pages and page types, whether we write the copy, photography and video, integrations such as bookings, payments or a CRM, and e-commerce. Once the project is paid in full, the website we create for you is yours, as set out in clause 7 of our Terms of Service.

Questions

Straight
answers

All FAQs →
Do you design websites for Guernsey businesses?

Yes. Arctic Media designs and builds conversion-focused, custom-coded websites for Guernsey businesses. We are a Channel Islands agency based in Jersey, and a website project runs over calls, email and our client portal, where you review and approve each stage.

How long does a website take to build?

A typical Arctic Media website takes 2 to 4 weeks from brief to launch. The exact timeline depends on how many pages the site needs, how much content has to be written and how quickly feedback comes back, and we agree it before work starts.

What data protection law applies to a Guernsey business website?

Guernsey has its own law, The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017, overseen by the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA). A Guernsey business’s privacy notice should refer to the law that actually applies to it rather than only to UK GDPR, and a data protection adviser should confirm the wording.

Do you use templates or page builders?

No. Every layout is designed for your business and built in custom code, with no page-builder templates or plugin sprawl, so pages stay fast.

Do I own my website?

Yes. On full payment, the website and other final deliverables we create specifically for you are assigned to you, as set out in clause 7 of our Terms of Service. Your own brand assets and copy remain yours throughout.

Can one website serve Guernsey and Jersey?

Yes. If you trade on both islands, we usually give each island its own clearly labelled pages for location-specific services, so customers on each island, and search engines, can see that you serve them.
