Gulfport is an artsy waterfront city on Boca Ciega Bay beside St. Petersburg, known for galleries, monthly street fairs, a law school, and a waterfront dance hall that draws people from across the Tampa area.
Doing business in Gulfport
Art walks, a waterfront ballroom and a law school
Gulfport lies on Boca Ciega Bay, hemmed in by St. Petersburg and South Pasadena, and went by names such as Disston City and Veteran City before taking its current one in 1910. Downtown holds art galleries and the Catherine A. Hickman Theater, and Stetson University College of Law, whose tower is a local landmark, has been here since 1954. On the waterfront, the Gulfport Casino Ballroom hosts dance nights through the week and rents out for weddings and parties.
In Gulfport, events are marketing. Art Walk on the first Friday, IndieFaire each month, Get Rescued in February and GeckoFest in September all bring crowds downtown. A business site that says when you are open late, what you will have at the next event, and how to find you from Beach Boulevard gives festival visitors a reason to come back. Gulfport also has its own feel, and a site with real photos of your street shows it.
Trades we build for
Websites for Gulfport businesses.
Wedding planners
The Casino Ballroom on the Gulfport waterfront is a popular place to marry, so planners who work there should show real events, timelines and how to inquire.
Dance studios
With swing, Latin, tango and ballroom nights at the Casino, Gulfport dancers look for studios that post class levels, styles and a clear beginner path.
Pet sitters and dog walkers
Gulfport holds a yearly Get Rescued event for animal rescues, and pet sitters and walkers here should list visits, service areas and references clearly.
Restaurants
Gulfport was once a finalist in a national search for top food towns, so kitchens here need an online menu that looks as good as the plate.
Photographers
Art Walk crowds, waterfront weddings and festival nights give Gulfport photographers plenty to shoot, and a portfolio sorted by type helps clients pick.
Bands and entertainers
Street performers and live music fill Gulfport's festivals, and entertainers need a site with video, set lists and a booking form so private clients can listen first.

Questions
Questions from Gulfport business owners.
Should our Gulfport website list the local events we take part in?
Yes, as long as someone keeps it current. A simple events page or a home-page note for Art Walk, IndieFaire or GeckoFest tells people where to find you and what you will have. Stale dates hurt more than none, so we set it up to be easy to update, and we can handle the edits for you after launch.
Customers in St. Petersburg pass right by us. How does a Gulfport business stand out?
By being Gulfport. People come here for a different feel, so a site that shows your street, your people and your work stands apart from a generic one. We name Gulfport clearly, add directions from St. Petersburg and the beaches, and keep your Google Business Profile in step with the site.
We are artists as well as a business. Can the site sell our work online?
Yes. For online sales we build the store on Shopify, which handles payments, shipping and stock, and design it to match the rest of your site. Each piece gets clear photos, dimensions and a story. If you mainly sell in the gallery or at Art Walk, a portfolio with an inquiry form may be all you need.
