Web design and digital marketing in Grantham
Millside Creative started in Grantham, and we ran the business from the town for its first few years before moving to Sheffield. Many of our longest-standing clients are still Grantham businesses. We design websites, take care of SEO and manage the marketing that runs alongside. While we now work with Grantham clients remotely, we know the town and its businesses first-hand.

Why do Grantham businesses still work with us?
Most of the work that goes into a good website (the design, the build, the SEO and the marketing) never depended on being in the same room - and our Grantham clients have demonstrated that for years. What does make a difference is knowing the town: the kind of businesses that trade here, who their customers are and how people in and around Grantham look for local services. That's knowledge we have from living and working here, not something picked up from a brief.
In practice, working with us from Grantham looks much the same as working with any client. You'll have regular video calls, shared progress updates and the same two people from start to finish.

Beauty by Noon came to us when the business was still just an idea, before there was a brand, a website or any online presence. We built all of it, then kept working on the marketing and SEO as the studio grew. Years later, they came back to us to rebuild the website to match where the business is now. It's one of the clearest examples of what a Millside project looks like from start to finish.
What is working with us like when you're in Grantham?
A first conversation
A call or video chat to talk through what you need and what you'd like your website or marketing to achieve.
A clear proposal
An outline of what we recommend, what it will cost and how long it will take, based on the factors that apply to your business. Nothing starts until you're happy with it.
Design and build
Regular updates and a shared view of progress throughout, so you always know where things stand without having to chase us.
Launch and aftercare
Your site goes live once everything has been checked, and aftercare starts the same day, so nothing that needs attention in those first few weeks is left waiting.
How do people in Grantham find a local business?
In a town the size of Grantham, the map results at the top of Google carry a lot of weight, and they come mainly from Google Business Profiles. A complete profile with the right categories, accurate opening hours, regular reviews and recent photos is often enough to put a local business in front of most of the people searching for it.
Your website then needs to back that up, with clear service pages and a mention of the areas you cover, whether that's the town itself or the villages around it, like Great Gonerby, Barrowby and Harlaxton. Our guide to setting up your Google Business Profile walks through the profile side step by step.

FAQs
Common questions
Are you still based in Grantham?
No, we're based in Sheffield now. Millside Creative started in Grantham, but the business has been run from Sheffield for a number of years now.
Do you still work with Grantham clients even though you moved away?
Yes, and a good number of our longest-standing clients are still based there from those early years, working with us entirely remotely now, the same way any client outside easy travelling distance of Sheffield does.
Does it matter that you're not local to Grantham any more?
Less than you might think. We know the town and its businesses from having lived and worked there - not from research - and most of the day-to-day work, design, development, SEO, marketing, was never dependent on being physically present in the first place.
Do you still know the Grantham market?
Yes. We grew up in the town and ran the business there for its first few years, so we know Grantham, its businesses and how people there look for local services.
Other areas we cover
We also cover Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Wakefield, as well as Nottingham further afield, where we already have clients. You'll find everywhere we cover, and how we work with businesses further away, on our areas we cover page.
