Wantage and the places nearby.

Wantage is a market town at the foot of the Berkshire Downs, the birthplace of King Alfred, whose statue stands in the market place. Big new housing developments, especially towards Grove, have brought many young families, and the Harwell science campus and racehorse yards on the Downs are important employers. New households need trades and services and search online, so naming Grove and the villages along the Downs gives a Wantage business real reach.

Inside Vale of White Horse, the closest places are Faringdon (8 miles) and Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles). Elsewhere in Oxfordshire: Didcot (8 miles), Wallingford (13 miles) and Oxford (13 miles). Further out, Highworth (13 miles), Hungerford (13 miles) and Lechlade-on-Thames (14 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Inside Wantage, the site can name areas such as Grove, Letcombe Regis, East Hendred, Ardington, Charlton, East Challow and Kingston Lisle.

Wantage (postcode area OX) sits about 109 miles north-east of Exeter.

Questions

Questions from Wantage businesses

Do you work with businesses in Wantage?
Yes. We are based in Exeter, about 109 miles away, and build websites for businesses across the UK 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 Wantage on its own?
Not from the ONS, which counts businesses for Vale of White Horse as a whole. Wantage is one of 3 towns on this site in that council area, so the numbers above are shared with places like Abingdon-on-Thames and Faringdon.
Where is Wantage in relation to Exeter?
About 109 miles as the crow flies: Wantage is north-east of Exeter, in the OX postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
Do you cover the towns around Wantage?
Yes. We work anywhere in the UK, so Didcot, Faringdon, Abingdon-on-Thames and Highworth 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.
