Websites for Hemel Hempstead businesses

A Mark One new town built for London overspill, now regenerating its Marlowes core around the same Gade valley Gadebridge Park sits in.

Hemel Hempstead is one of the post-war new towns — designated in 1946, drawn up by Geoffrey Jellicoe, with the first families moving into Adeyfield in February 1950. The Old Town still runs along its Georgian High Street with antique shops, pubs and cafés; The Marlowes sits at the modern core, and Gadebridge Park spreads to the north around the Charter Tower. Most trades, salons and indies across HP1, HP2 and HP3 don't need anything clever. They need a clean, fast site that puts their number and their service area on the front.

Working with Hemel Hempstead

The local economy splits in two. Maylands Business Park on the edge of HP2 employs more than 20,000 people across 650 businesses — logistics, construction and light industrial dominate, and the Maylands Masterplan Plus is shaping the next phase. The town centre and Old Town economy is mostly independents: Sunnyside Rural Trust runs the Old Town Market in St Mary's Square, Boxmoor Playhouse pulls a steady community audience, and the Marlowes covers the chain-store end of retail. Dacorum Borough Council is mid-way through a regeneration push aimed at turning the town centre into a mixed leisure, cultural and workspace quarter.

Every Hemel Hempstead site is hand-coded, mobile-first, and shipped on its own domain. There's nothing for you to maintain — hosting, SSL, backups, updates and small content edits are all in the £25/month plan. You'll deal directly with me from brief to launch, by email or WhatsApp, in plain English.

Why these industries cluster here

Logistics, construction & distribution
Maylands Business Park has been the employment spine of the new town since the 1950s and now anchors logistics and construction firms.
Light manufacturing & paper trades
Designated new-town industrial zone from inception; the focus shifted from heavy manufacturing to mixed business use after the Buncefield incident.

Dacorum Borough Council is mid-way through a regeneration push on The Marlowes, with a 2025 vision document aiming to turn the town centre into a mixed leisure, cultural and workspace quarter (livinginhemelhempstead.co.uk, March 2026).

FAQs

Hemel Hempstead web design — common questions

Do you build sites for tradesmen working across HP1, HP2 and HP3?

Yes — that's most of my work here. Plumbers, electricians, builders and landscapers across Boxmoor, Apsley, Leverstock Green and Bennetts End. The £25/month plan covers hosting, SSL, backups and small edits like a new number or a new line of text, usually back the same day.

Can you help my café in the Old Town get found on Google?

No — I don't do SEO, Google Business Profile work, or content marketing, and that's deliberate. What I do build is a fast, hand-coded site with sensible page titles and descriptions, on your own domain, that gives you something solid to point a customer at when they find you elsewhere.

How long does it take to go live in Hemel Hempstead?

Usually one to two weeks from the agreed brief to a live link on your own domain. I register the domain in your name. There's no setup fee and you can cancel any month.

Will you run my social media or Google Ads for me?

No, I don't offer that and it's not in the £25/month plan. If you need someone for ads or social, the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce is a good place to start looking for a local partner.

Do you do SEO, blogs, or Google Business Profile?

No — and that's deliberate. The £25/month plan is for a clean, quick website on its own domain, with the basic on-page SEO sorted (sensible page titles, descriptions, fast loads). It is not a marketing package. If you want someone to actively manage your Google Business Profile, run a blog, or chase rankings, this isn't the right service — I'd rather say so upfront.
