Around Bristol.
Bristol has an unusually design-literate customer base and a strong independent trading culture, which raises the baseline: a template website is more conspicuous here than in most English cities. There is also a marked geographical split between the north and east of the city and the south, and businesses that are honest about which side they actually serve tend to get better enquiries than those claiming the whole of it.
Across the boundary into the next council area, Kingswood (3 miles), Filton (4 miles), Keynsham (5 miles) and Patchway (6 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Within Bristol itself, we build for businesses in Clifton, Stokes Croft, Bedminster, Redland, Southville and Bishopston.
Bristol addresses fall in the BS postcode area, about 65 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
