About Rain Drop
A friendly Blackpool web design business with over 20 years of experience.
We build affordable, practical websites for businesses that want a stronger online presence without turning the whole thing into a bigger project than it needs to be.
We are actually based in Blackpool too, which sounds obvious, but it is worth saying. Plenty of websites target “Blackpool web design” while operating from somewhere entirely different. We really are local, and that matters when you want a more personal, sensible service.
Why businesses choose us
The main things people tend to care about, and why they actually matter.
A website project usually goes better when the person building it is experienced, easy to deal with, realistic on price, and close enough to understand the local context. That is really the core of what we try to offer.
Friendly to work with
We keep things straightforward, explain things in plain English, and make the whole process feel a lot less stressful than many people expect.
Affordable and practical
A lot of businesses do not need an overcomplicated setup. They need a solid website, sensible guidance, and a price that still feels realistic.
Local discounts available
If your business is based in Blackpool or nearby on the Fylde Coast, you may qualify for our local web design offer and save up to 30%.

Actually local
Yes, we are genuinely based in Blackpool.
That means when we talk about local businesses, local competition, local audiences, and the Fylde Coast in general, we are not just writing a landing page from the other end of the country. We are part of the same area.
If your business is in Blackpool, Cleveleys, Fleetwood, Lytham St Annes or elsewhere on the Fylde Coast, that local understanding tends to make the process more useful from the start.
It is also why we put real effort into our local areas pages and offer a proper local discount rather than pretending to be nearby when we are not.
