Working in Rushden

Six miles down the A45, where Richard meets people for coffee at Rushden Lakes. A boot and shoe town with a lot of small businesses and a lake on its doorstep.

Why Rushden

Rushden is the town we visit most after our own. Six miles down the A45 from the office, it sits where the A45 meets the A6 at Chowns Mill, so it is on the way to almost everywhere else we go. It is a boot and shoe town by history, and the old factories are still there on the streets behind the High Street, some of them now units for the trades and small firms we tend to work with.

It is also where a fair number of our meetings happen. Richard meets people for coffee at Rushden Lakes, which is easier to reach and easier to park at than most town centres, and it means a Rushden business can have a first conversation with us without either side losing a morning.

How we work with businesses here

If you are in Rushden, the first meeting can be at your premises, at Rushden Lakes over a coffee, or at our office in Wellingborough, by appointment. We like to see how a business actually runs before we write a word of the brief. After that the work goes online: the design shared as a link, changes sent by email and turned around the same day, and the month-to-month looking-after handled from Wellingborough.

If you would rather do the whole thing online, that works just as well. Nothing about how we build a site depends on being in the room.

Who we look after nearby

We do not yet have a Rushden client story to tell. Our nearest are in Wellingborough, a few minutes up the road, and both that town and Northampton have their own pages here. Rushden and Higham Ferrers are also inside the Wellingborough and North Northants Chamber of Commerce area, which we support, and where a good number of our local introductions come from.

If you are here

Rushden Lakes is the obvious stop, and the walk around the lakes behind it is better than a shopping centre has any right to offer. Hall Park is the quiet green in the middle of town. Stanwick Lakes is a couple of miles further up the A45 for a proper afternoon out, and the Transport Museum at the old station is worth catching on one of its open days.

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