Website Creation: Built for Local Businesses in Whale Island
Whale Island is one of Portsmouth's local areas, within postcode district PO2, bordering Vicarage Row, Stamshaw and Tipner. Portsmouth is the only city in England that sits mostly on an island rather than the mainland, most of it built on Portsea Island, and its position made it one of the Royal Navy's most important home ports for centuries.
Government data (ONS, March 2026) recorded 6,095 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Portsmouth's first ever Business Improvement District was approved by a 93% Yes vote, generating £1.6 million over five years from a levy on around 289 city centre organisations.
Portsmouth's population changed by 1.9% over the five years to 2024 (ONS). That's the size of the audience website creation is working with in this area.
