Online shops for Godmanchester makers who sell to the villages and the rest of Britain
Godmanchester is the quieter half of a pair, the old Roman town facing Huntingdon across the Great Ouse. Portholme Meadow lies on one side, Island Hall and the Chinese Bridge on the other. A garden furniture maker here works out of a unit off the A1198: green oak in the rack, a bench on the trestles, a trailer for deliveries round Brampton and the Hemingfords. The website is a gallery and a page called Shop with 9 items, 3 of them marked enquire for price. When somebody in Buckden types oak garden bench into Google on a bright April morning, a national retailer takes the sale and the maker never hears about it. We work from King's Road in Bury St Edmunds, 50 minutes or so along the A14, and we build the store the other way round, starting from what people type. The maker pays monthly from £495 a month, Shopify SEO in the price, no build fee, inside a Shopify account that was always theirs.
