Web design in St Just
St Just is a long way from anywhere, and very little trade simply wanders in. Businesses here need to be found deliberately, from Penzance and well beyond.
That makes being findable a necessity rather than an improvement.

Selling to St Just
Worth knowing hereThis is a long way from anywhere, and businesses need to be findable from Penzance and beyond rather than relying on passing trade.
People have to decide to come
A customer in Penzance or St Ives is choosing to make a journey, which means the site has to give them a reason and remove the doubt about it being worth it.
Stating the drive time helps, because people over-estimate it. So does saying what you have that is not available nearer.
For anything specialist, distance stops mattering entirely once the customer knows you exist — which is the whole problem.
The Tin Coast brings walkers
Coast path and heritage visitors come year-round and search for the landscape rather than the town, so naming the mines, the path and the beaches puts you in front of them.
A small independent community
Most businesses here are small, which makes a straightforward site that stays current more valuable than an ambitious one that does not.
Questions people here ask
- How do we attract people from further away?
- State the drive time, which people over-estimate, and say what you offer that they cannot get nearer.
- How do walkers find us?
- By naming the coast path, the mining sites and the beaches. They search for the landscape, not the town.
- Does distance stop specialist trade?
- Rarely, once people know you exist. Being findable is the obstacle, not the miles.
