Home turf.
Bath, BANES &
the wider South West.
Velocity Web has been building websites for Bath businesses for 28 years. We're on Trim Street, live locally, and hold pos 1 for "web design Bath." Bath is where most of our commercial SME work happens — and we know this city well enough to give honest answers, not just good-looking proposals.
We're not just based here.
We know this city.
Velocity Web was founded in 1998 and has operated from Bath since the beginning. Martin Shelton lives locally, trains with Somer Athletics Club on Tuesday evenings, and has been involved with Bath businesses and organisations for over two decades. Bath is home base — not a sales territory.
That local knowledge shapes how we work. We know that Bath businesses often serve a national or international audience — tourism, retail, professional services, hospitality — and need websites that work hard for visitors arriving from search. We know that Bath's conservation area limits physical signage, making a strong web presence more important than average. And we know the business community well enough to give honest referrals when a project isn't right for us.
BANES is our primary commercial territory — Bath city centre, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, Keynsham, and the surrounding area. We're actively building the Bristol book, and work across Wiltshire and Somerset for the right clients.
