A digital agency serving Batley businesses

Batley is a town in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, next to Dewsbury and Birstall. It was at the heart of the Heavy Woollen District, and Benjamin Law of Batley is credited with developing shoddy, a cloth made from recycled wool, in 1813.

Our base is in Wakefield and we have no office in Batley. If your business is here, we can run your web design, marketing or branding project remotely by phone and video call.

The Batley business landscape

Many of the town’s large Victorian mills still stand, and some now house shops, showrooms and other businesses. The Bagshaw Museum in Wilton Park, the town hall and the Batley Bulldogs rugby league club are local landmarks. Today the town’s economy mixes manufacturing, retail and local services, with many family-run firms.

Batley, Birstall and Dewsbury work as one local market for many customers, who move easily between the three towns.

Getting around Batley

Batley station is on the Huddersfield line between Leeds and Huddersfield, and the M62 is close by at junctions 27 and 28. Birstall Shopping Park, near junction 27, draws shoppers from across the area, and road links to Dewsbury, Leeds and Wakefield are short.

What this means for your business

Your website

If your current site is several years old, it may look fine on a computer but be awkward on a phone. Review what still works, keep the content customers rely on and rebuild the rest so it is quick and straightforward on any device.

How we approach web design

Your marketing

Because customers move freely between Batley, Birstall and Dewsbury, set up your search presence and any advertising to reach the area you actually serve rather than the whole of West Yorkshire, and name the places you cover on your website and Google Business Profile.

How we approach digital marketing

Your brand

Customers may have known your business for years. When an identity needs updating, keep the elements people recognise and modernise the rest, so the change feels like progress rather than a different company.

How we approach branding and graphic design

Practical points

If you trade from a converted mill, give clear directions and parking details; large mill sites can be confusing for first-time visitors.
If many of your customers prefer to read in a language other than English, consider translating your key information for them.
Mill shops and showrooms draw shoppers from well beyond the town; if you trade from one, explain on your website what visitors can buy there, when you are open and whether trade customers are welcome.
