Project Overview .

Client: Love Coggeshall

Love Coggeshall was developed as a free online directory to support local businesses and strengthen community connections. The platform brings together information on businesses, groups, and events, addressing a challenge of limited visibility for small and local enterprises. It serves as a central resource for residents and newcomers to easily discover and engage with what the town has to offer.

Our focus was on creating a user-friendly and accessible website that enhances local visibility without the distractions of social media. Designed to be a long-term, sustainable resource, the platform fosters community interaction while remaining free to use, with optional donations helping to cover maintenance costs.

Building the community website.

We launched Love Coggeshall to support local businesses, community groups, and events by providing a free online directory that enhances their visibility. Many small enterprises and organisations in rural areas struggle to reach a wider audience, particularly as traditional word-of-mouth and physical advertising have become less effective. By offering a dedicated space where businesses and groups can list their services at no cost, Love Coggeshall helps improve their online presence, boosts search engine rankings, and increases the likelihood of attracting new customers and participants.

The WordPress website was designed with usability in mind, ensuring that visitors can quickly and easily find the information they need. Unlike social media, where important details can get lost in an overwhelming stream of content, Love Coggeshall provides a structured, organised space for browsing local services, discovering events, and connecting with the community. The site’s intuitive navigation and clean layout reduce unnecessary scrolling, making it simple for users to access relevant information in just a few clicks.

Beyond serving as a directory, Love Coggeshall plays a vital role in fostering community engagement. By bringing together businesses, organisations, and residents in one accessible online hub, it encourages people to shop locally, attend events, and support the town’s economy. The platform is completely free to use, with optional donations helping to sustain its maintenance and future improvements.
