City of Stoke-on-Trent

The area around Longton.

Longton is the southernmost of the Potteries towns, home to the Gladstone Pottery Museum and some of the last surviving bottle kilns. Its Victorian terraces and market hall reflect a busy industrial past, with post-war estates spreading out towards Meir and Blurton. Older housing brings constant work in roofing, damp and rewiring. Customers are price-conscious and want someone local, so a site that names Normacot, Dresden and Lightwood beats one aimed at the whole of Stoke.

Inside Stoke-on-Trent, the closest places are Fenton (1 mile), Stoke-upon-Trent (2 miles), Stoke-on-Trent (3 miles) and Burslem (5 miles). Just over the council boundary, Newcastle-under-Lyme (4 miles), Stone (6 miles), Cheadle (6 miles) and Kidsgrove (8 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Meir, Normacot, Lightwood, Dresden, Blurton and Florence: if you work in particular parts of Longton, those names belong on the site.

Longton (postcode area ST) sits about 167 miles north of Exeter.

Questions

Web design in Longton: questions

Can you build a website for a Longton business?
Yes, remotely. We work from Exeter, 167 miles from Longton, and the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call. You check the design on your phone and sign it off before launch; two rounds of changes are part of the price.
Are there business figures for Longton on its own?
Not from the ONS, which counts businesses for Stoke-on-Trent as a whole. Longton is one of 5 towns on this site in that council area, so the numbers above are shared with places like Stoke-on-Trent and Burslem.
Where is Longton in relation to Exeter?
About 167 miles as the crow flies: Longton is north of Exeter, in the ST postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
Do you cover the towns around Longton?
Yes. We work anywhere in the UK, so Fenton, Stoke-upon-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme are all covered. If your jobs come from several of them, the site names each one you serve, so people there can see you come to them.
