About This Website

In the Beginning...

Dartmouth Directory was created in 1999, and was the first website in Dartmouth to feature local information on the town.

The founders (locals Chris Scorer and Ian Phillips) started the site as a hobby, designed to help people aquire information on accommodation in Dartmouth.

Over the years, Dartmouth Directory has evolved and grown in size, providing vast information on Dartmouth and District.

Recently...

In November 2007, Dartmouth Directory was acquired by two local businessmen from the original founders. The new owners specialise in IT services, and tourism.

The aim was to take a very successful website to the next level in appearance and function, and ensure the ongoing success of its advertisers and users.

Throughout the winter and spring 2008, extensive work has been undertaken to develop the new website.

The website has now been redeveloped into the most powerful marketing website for Dartmouth.

Advertisers have complete freedom over their own photos and copy, and can even publish special offers and late accommodation deals. All from £1.50 a week! With over 7600 unique visitors in January 2009, this figure has doubled from the previous year.

Where Next...

The new site is interactive, dynamic and fresh. It will benefit from continual updates, offering new opportunities to the town, its people and businesses.
