Selling to St Agnes
Worth knowing hereA high proportion of businesses here are one or two people, for whom a straightforward, well-maintained site matters more than an elaborate one.
Build something you can keep up
A small site you update in ten minutes beats a large one you dread opening. For a one-person business, that difference decides whether the site stays accurate.
What actually needs to be current is short: what you make or do, prices or ranges, how to buy or book, and whether you are taking work at the moment.
That last one matters more than people think. A maker who is booked until spring should say so rather than fielding enquiries they cannot take.
Makers sell beyond the village
Work bought by visitors is frequently reordered from elsewhere, so postage, timescales and how to commission something need publishing.
Photographs of the work and of the making do the selling; there is no shop to walk into.
Surf, coast and mining heritage
St Agnes draws walkers, surfers and heritage visitors year-round, who search for the coast rather than for the village.
