Larger detached homes (49.6% of households) mean bigger gardens, driveways and renovation projects. For landscapers, builders and home services, a portfolio of real jobs is the strongest sales page.
The people an Alveley website talks to
67.5% of workers drive to work. Put your address and postcode on every page.
Outright owners: 53.8% of households in Alveley. Before-and-after photos are what homeowners look for.
Part-time work: 33.2% of employed residents. People are around at different times of day, so make your opening times obvious.
Long commutes: 4.5% of workers go 60 km or further. Many errands wait until the evening, so an email form that takes messages after hours helps.

Running a business website from Alveley: the rules
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
- When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
