Website Creation for Local Businesses in Marston
Marston is one of Oxford's local areas, within postcode district OX3, bordering Elsfield, Shotover Hill and Woodeaton. Oxford's Covered Market opened in 1774, built to get meat, fish and vegetable sellers off the streets under the Oxford Mileways Act of 1771, and is one of the oldest continually operating markets in the country. Its roughly 60 independent traders still work under the same Grade II listed red-tiled roof, some of them family businesses passed down for generations, such as Browns Café, in the same family for twenty-five years.
A proposal to set up a Business Improvement District in Oxford city centre failed to gain enough support around 2008, and none has been established since; the city's independent traders instead rely on Oxford City Council's own business support service. ONS counted 4,975 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
93.1% of new businesses in Oxford were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). In a market changing that fast, website creation is what keeps a business visible instead of lost in the churn.
