Supporting Torquay businesses
Torquay is the largest town in Torbay and the heart of the English Riviera, a stretch of coast that also takes in Paignton and Brixham. Tourism is the obvious big industry, with hotels, guest houses, holiday parks, attractions and restaurants filling the seafront, the harbour and Babbacombe. Agatha Christie was born in Torquay, and the town's heritage and coastline bring visitors all year.
Less well known is Torbay's long history in electronics and photonics. The area has a cluster of firms making optical components, sensors and specialist electronics, and the Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre (EPIC) at White Rock in Paignton was built to support it. Torbay Hospital is a major employer, and South Devon College in Paignton provides further and higher education, including digital and engineering courses.
For IT and websites, the needs of a Torbay business usually fall into a few groups:
- Hotels and guest houses depend on booking engines, channel managers, payment systems and guest Wi-Fi. A broken booking form in high season is an emergency.
- Tech and engineering firms need secure networks, protected design files and controlled remote access.
- Care providers and health businesses need secure email, sensible data handling and well-managed devices.
- Small shops and trades want a website that ranks locally and a Google Business Profile that is accurate.
Many small Torquay hospitality businesses run on a handful of devices and a website that nobody has updated for a while. Getting updates, backups and uptime monitoring in place before the season starts saves a lot of stress in August.

Frequently asked questions
Can you support a Torquay hotel remotely?
Yes. dijitul supports Torquay hotels and guest houses remotely, covering booking websites, email, Wi-Fi settings, PCs and Microsoft 365. Our Essential plan at £25 a month + VAT keeps your website updated, backed up and monitored. One-off fixes are £45 an hour + VAT.
Do you cover Paignton, Brixham and Newton Abbot?
Yes. Because the work is remote, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Totnes are all covered in the same way as Torquay, at the same prices. Any on-site work is quoted before it is booked.
Our booking form stopped sending emails. Is that something you fix?
Yes. Booking and contact forms usually stop delivering because of mail settings, a plugin update or missing SPF and DKIM records. We trace the cause, fix the sending method and test it. This is typically a short ad-hoc job at £45 an hour + VAT.
