Telford grew up as a new town from the 1960s, built around older places like Wellington, Oakengates, Madeley and Dawley, and named after the engineer Thomas Telford. Today it’s the biggest town in Shropshire. Big industrial estates such as Stafford Park, Hortonwood and Halesfield are home to manufacturers, engineering firms, distributors and workshops, and the town is full of trades and service businesses working across the borough and out towards Shrewsbury and Newport.
What a Telford website has to do
A lot of Telford work is business to business. A fabrication shop in Halesfield or a print firm in Stafford Park is being checked out by buyers and purchasing managers who want to know what you make, what machines you run and how quickly you can quote. They want facts, photos of real work and a contact form that reaches the right person.
Household customers want something simpler. A plumber, electrician or heating engineer in Telford is competing with a lot of others, so the website has to say which parts of the borough you cover, what you charge for typical jobs and how fast you can come out. The same goes for cleaning companies and garages. Plenty of visitors come for Ironbridge and the gorge too, which matters if you run a café, pub or guest house nearby.
How we build websites for Telford businesses
We start with a short call or questionnaire. Then we write every page for you, in plain English, and design the site around the people you sell to. The first draft is often ready the same day, and most sites are live in 2 to 3 working days. You can read the steps on our how it works page.
After launch we host it on UK servers, keep the SSL certificate and backups running and make your changes. New services, a new unit address or photos from a recent job: email us and we’ll update it, usually the same day. Up to 10 changes a month are included in the £47 a month price.
