About Bomu
The friendly local who knows everyone
What is this?
Bomu is a hyperlocal community platform for the Boscombe-to-Mudeford coastal stretch in Dorset. We're building a searchable local directory, an events noticeboard, and soon - paid microsite hosting for small businesses.
The area we cover
From Boscombe Pier in the west to Mudeford Quay in the east - roughly seven miles of coastline that includes:
- Boscombe - The pier, the arcade, the surf reef
- Southbourne - Cafes, beach huts, and the overcliff
- Tuckton - River views and the famous tea house
- Wick - Where the river meets the harbour
- Christchurch - The Priory, the quay, the high street
- Highcliffe - The castle, the cliffs, the quiet beaches
- Mudeford - Beach huts, boats, and the sandbank
Why we built it
Too many local businesses rely on word of mouth or a Facebook page that nobody can find. Too many events happen that locals never hear about. Too much good stuff goes unnoticed.
Bomu exists to fix that - to help residents find services they actually need, and help businesses get seen by their actual neighbours.
Who's behind it
Bomu is built by Neves Seven Ltd., a small web studio based right here on the Dorset coast.
