A digital agency serving Castleford businesses
Castleford is one of the Five Towns in the City of Wakefield district, the same district as our base. It stands where the River Calder joins the River Aire, on the site of the Roman fort of Lagentium, and grew on coal mining, glass making and pottery.
Our base is in Wakefield and we have no office in Castleford. If your business is here, we can run your web design, marketing or branding project remotely by phone and video call.
The Castleford business landscape
The sculptor Henry Moore was born in Castleford in 1898, and the town is home to the Castleford Tigers rugby league club. Haribo makes sweets at its Castleford factory as well as at its original site in neighbouring Pontefract. Near junction 32 of the M62, Xscape Yorkshire and the Junction 32 outlet centre draw visitors from across the region, and the motorway corridor has attracted warehousing and distribution.
Local firms often find their customers across the Five Towns of Castleford, Pontefract, Knottingley, Featherstone and Normanton, and the wider Wakefield district.
Getting around Castleford
The M62 runs just north of the town, with junctions 31 and 32 serving Castleford, and the A1(M) is a short drive to the east. Castleford station has trains towards Leeds, Wakefield and Pontefract. That puts Leeds, Wakefield and York within easy reach for customers and suppliers alike.
What this means for your business
Your website
Castleford businesses often serve customers across the Five Towns and beyond. Make it clear on your website which places you cover and which services you offer, so someone in Pontefract or Normanton can see at a glance that you are the right fit.
How we approach web designYour marketing
Customers in Castleford, Pontefract, Normanton and nearby towns often search by place name. Decide which areas to target, then set up your Google Business Profile, website content and any advertising to match. Businesses near Junction 32 may also reach people visiting for shopping and leisure.
How we approach digital marketingYour brand
Many small businesses end up with slightly different logos on their van, website and social media pages. One consistent identity and a set of correctly sized files make every place customers see you look the same.
How we approach branding and graphic designPractical points
- Warehousing and distribution firms along the M62 corridor should explain coverage, capacity and accreditations clearly, as buyers compare these first.
- Rugby league match days and events at Xscape bring extra visitors; hospitality businesses can plan offers around them.
- Many people shopping at Junction 32 are not local, so give directions from the motorway rather than from the town centre.
