Website Creation for Local Businesses in Manchester
Manchester's first cotton mill opened on Miller Street in 1783, and by 1912 the city's mills were producing 8 billion square yards of cotton fabric a year, earning it the nickname 'Cottonopolis'. When the cotton trade collapsed after the First World War, cheap rents in the empty warehouses of what's now the Northern Quarter let independent businesses move in instead — Fred Aldous has supplied artists and makers from the same streets since 1886, and Piccadilly Records has been a fixture of the area's music scene since 1978.
Manchester City Centre's Business Improvement District brings together around 600 businesses across retail, hospitality and offices, funded by a levy on the district's rateable value and run in partnership with CityCo. ONS recorded 24,550 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
Workers in Manchester produced £44.77 of economic value for every hour worked in 2023 (ONS). Local spending power like that is exactly the audience website creation is built to reach.
