Local Portals from Starsol

Starsol operates a network of several very successful local portal websites for towns and villages in the United Kingdom. The content of each website is unique and relevant to the featured settlement, such as tide times for coastal resorts, attraction guides for popular day-trip destinations and business directories for market towns.

Features of our portals

We have spent literally hundreds of hours in research and development for our local portals, and are pleased to offer a wide range of features of advertisers and visitors alike. Directory listing advertisers benefit from all the following:

Dedicated page on the local portal website containing no other advertising.
Add an unlimited amount of text about your service and update it whenever you like in the password-protected members area.
Upload up to 20 photographs or other relevant images to appear on your page, with the option to display either statically or as a Flash slideshow.
Option of an online contact form with advanced spam protection.
View detailed statistics about exactly how many times your advertisement page has been viewed.
Include your logo in the directory listings and search results pages.
Display the location of your service on a road and/or satellite map.
Have your own website? We will link to it on your advertisement page at no extra charge.
Your advertisement page will be submitted to major global search engines (and remember we do happen to be search engine optimisation experts).

Example portals

As each settlement has different needs there is no one example that includes everything, however great examples of our local portals include our offerings for Minehead in Somerset and Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk. If there is a specific portal you are looking for, you may find it in our local portals list.

Would you like a local portal for your town?

If we have not yet covered your local area, please let us know your interest in seeing a such a site created by either email or telephoning us on 0845 094 6112. We will be delighted to develop a site for any town if three or more businesses are willing to commit to one year of advertising on the site's local directory. Although the majority of our local portals are for places in the UK, we will happily consider developing an English-language website for locations anywhere in the world.
