Working in Raunds

Eight miles up the A45 with Stanwick Lakes on its doorstep. A small boot and shoe town with a big church and a lot of businesses that never had a website built properly.

Why Raunds

Raunds is the last town before the A45 turns into the A14 country, eight miles from our office. It is small, a few thousand people, and it made its living from boots and shoes for a hundred years, army boots especially. What is left is a town with a big church, a compact centre, an industrial estate on the Wellingborough side and the kind of small firms, trades and family businesses that we build for most.

We go there because it is on the way and because it is under-served. A town this size rarely has an agency nearby, and the businesses in it tend to have either no website or one that a relative put together some years ago. That is the gap we work in.

How we work with businesses here

The first conversation is best done in person, and we will come to you. Raunds is a quarter of an hour from Wellingborough, so a site visit costs us very little and tells us a great deal about how a business actually runs. After that the work moves online: the design shared as a link, changes sent by email and turned around the same day, and the monthly looking-after done from our office without anyone needing to drive.

If you would rather keep it all online from the start, that suits us too.

Who we look after nearby

We do not yet have a client story from Raunds itself. Our nearest are in Wellingborough, and both that town and Northampton have their own pages here. Raunds sits inside the Wellingborough and North Northants Chamber of Commerce area, which we support, and if your business is here there is space for you at the top of this list.

If you are here

Stanwick Lakes is the reason most people who are not from Raunds have been to Raunds, and it is a good one: a full afternoon of water, paths and playground a mile from the town centre. St Peter’s is worth ten minutes for the wall paintings alone, and the Nene Way takes you out of town along the river in either direction without meeting a car.

We build websites for businesses in Raunds. See how we build them.

Worth a visit

If you are in Raunds

Stanwick Lakes

The country park on the edge of town, with lakes, cycle paths, a visitor centre and one of the best adventure playgrounds in the county.

Their website

St Peter's Church

The parish church with the tall spire you can see from the A45, and medieval wall paintings inside that are older than most of the town around it.

The Nene Way

The long-distance footpath along the river runs past the town through the old gravel pits, flat walking with a lot of water and birds.

The boot and shoe streets

Raunds made army boots for a century, and the old factories and terraces around the town centre are the record of it.
