Lancashire · Based in Darwen
A website for a Blackburn business
Blackburn is the large town directly north of Darwen. Trade searches for the two towns overlap, so a site that only names one of them is easy to miss from the other. A Blackburn enquiry is easy to miss if the only place name on the site is Darwen.
Blackburn is not a footnote on a Darwen page
Blackburn is the large town directly north of Darwen. The streets mix Victorian terraces, mill buildings and later housing estates, so one photo of a new estate does not describe the visits a firm actually makes.
Trade searches for the two towns overlap. Someone in Blackburn looking for a roofer, a fitter or a studio will not assume a Darwen page covers them unless the page says so. Say which parts of the town you take, and leave the rest off.
- Put Blackburn in the title and the first screen, not only in a footer list of places.
- Mention Darwen as well if it is on the round. If it is not, do not add it for coverage.
- Mill buildings and terraces are different jobs from a newer estate. The page can say which you take.

Questions
How much does a website cost for a small business in Blackburn?
The lowest published build is £750. A fuller business site starts at £1,250, growth work at £2,000 and a bespoke system at £2,500. A Blackburn firm pays the same published figures as a Darwen one. Nothing is added because the town is larger.
How long does a Blackburn website take?
A short site commonly takes a fortnight to a month after the content is ready and comments come back on time. Bigger sites often need 4 to 8 weeks. Most of the wait is decisions about which Blackburn jobs you want, and whether Darwen is included.
Do you work in Blackburn?
Yes. The studio is a few minutes south, in Darwen, and Blackburn has its own page because the searches are not the same. We do not keep an office in the town centre, and we do not publish a Blackburn client list.
What is included if I am based in Blackburn?
The structure follows the work you want in Blackburn, including a clear line on whether you also cover Darwen. Phone and form sit where a person on a wet pavement can use them. Search setup is part of the build, not a later extra you have to remember to ask for.
Who will I actually talk to?
Matt, from the Darwen studio. You will not be handed to a Blackburn call centre, because there isn't one. The conversation about the mill streets and the estates is with the person who writes the pages.
