How you can be part of the Town Web success

Advertising
To advertise on the Town Web all you need to do is either:

  • Contact Webmaster with descriptive information, your logo and details and/or photographs to fill an A5 sheet. Your advert is constructed and agreed with before being added to the site; or

  • Design an advert that fills an A5 sheet and either send or email it to the address below.

All adverts added to the site are registered with the major search engines and all businesses advertising with the Town Web will receive priority listing in any business searches that match your criteria. All this for an initial fee of £50 to cover your advert for one year. That’s visibility of your advert 24 hours a day 7 days a week to, at current rates, 1.2 million visitors a year. Excellent value, well, it gets better. To advertise for a second year only costs £30.
