Web design for Aylesford businesses

Aylesford sits on the River Medway about four miles north-west of Maidstone, and it has a character all its own. The old bridge, the High Street and the riverbank give it the feel of a village that has been here for centuries, and it is home to Aylesford Priory, known locally as The Friars, a Carmelite friary founded in 1240 that still draws visitors and retreat groups today. Kit’s Coty House, a Neolithic burial chamber, is a short distance up the road.

Aylesford is also just across the boundary from Maidstone, in the Tonbridge and Malling district. For a local business, that matters: people searching for you will usually type “Aylesford”, not “Maidstone”, and your website and Google listing need to say so clearly.

Why a local website matters in Aylesford

You get both locals and visitors. The Priory, the riverside and the nearby countryside bring people who do not know the area. They search on their phone for somewhere to eat, drink or find help, and they choose from what they can see. A clear website and an up-to-date Google listing help you be the one they pick.

The parish is bigger than the village. Aylesford parish also takes in Eccles, Blue Bell Hill and part of Walderslade. If you are a tradesperson covering these areas, your website can say so, so people in each of them can find you.

Good rail and road links. Aylesford has its own station on the Medway Valley Line, which connects Maidstone with Strood and Paddock Wood, so plenty of potential customers are within easy reach of your business and searching for you online.
