Where this one started.
Whalesborough is a 428 acre working estate outside Bude, with 27 cottages, 22 Arvor Suites, a spa and a restaurant. It came to us in 2023 on a WordPress site built by somebody else.
The first job was a new WordPress build that year. The second, live since the summer of 2026, was a rebuild from scratch with the Gwelva holiday home ownership pages added.
Client since 2023, rebuilt from scratch in 2026, and still ours to run. We would show a park owner this before we showed them a design.
What we built.
Cottages, Arvor Suites, spa, dining, dog friendly and ownership, each on its own page with its own photography.
Booking through Landal, with the same rate promised by phone and no booking fees, stated on the home page.
Gwelva Holiday Homes launched on the same site rather than a separate one, so the estate sells stays and homes from one address.
What it measures now.
Read on one run of the same test we use on every site, including the ones we are asked to look at for free.

Every number on this page is a lab measurement from a single run, not what visitors experienced. Lighthouse 13.4.1, mobile, simulated Slow 4G with a 4x CPU slowdown, run 3 September 2026. These are lab numbers from one run, not what visitors experienced. Sites not yet on their own address were measured where they were being built.
A look round.
The phone captures are at 390 pixels wide, which is roughly the phone most people will open Whalesborough on. It is the width we design at first and the width we test at last.
