Hitchin and the places nearby.
Hitchin is a historic North Hertfordshire market town with a lively independent centre, a regular market and a fast commuter line into London. Its customer base is comfortably off, often busy, and willing to pay for quality if a business looks trustworthy online. Independents benefit from a website that reflects the town's character, while trades do best by naming Hitchin's own districts and nearby villages, since competition from Letchworth and Stevenage firms is only a short drive away.
