An urban borough, Watford is the largest town in Hertfordshire. And while it is one of the country’s most densely populated local authority areas, Watford enjoys a variety of green, open spaces, with around 20% of the borough forming part of the Metropolitan Green Belt.
Watford boasts excellent transport links, making it a popular place to live and do business. There is rail, Underground and Overground connections to central London, and you can be in the Capital in under 20 minutes. Watford also has easy access to the M1, M25 and A4, as well as Heathrow and Luton airports.
Demand for housing in Watford remains high. But with an overall average price of £449,013 over the last year (Rightmove, September 2022), homes in the area remain competitive compared to London prices. There are also excellent schools in Watford, with many rated “Outstanding” or “Good” by Ofsted.
As well as having a bustling city centre, there are some great things to see and do in the surrounding area. Cassiobury Park is a perfect place to enjoy ancient woodland and wildlife, a large play area, outdoor fitness areas, and a miniature railway. And did you know that it is twice the size of London’s Hyde Park? In addition, Cheslyn House & Gardens is free to visit if you want to enjoy a stunning garden setting with the chance to spot some local wildlife. At the same time, Bhaktivedanta Manor hosts many events throughout the year. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a must for Harry Potter fans that want to “Walk in the footsteps of Harry Potter and explore the wonders of the Wizarding World”. And, for culture-vultures, the historic Watford Palace Theatre (recently modernised) and the Watford Colosseum regularly put on high-quality shows.

Costs for web design in Watford
You know that you need a creative and commercially astute website. But, with several Watford web design agencies competing for your business, how can you be sure you’ll pick the right website designers?
Price will undoubtedly play a factor in your decision because you don’t want to pay more than you have to for your website. But using the cheapest Watford web design agency could be a false economy.
You don’t want a cheap, poorly designed site that uses an off-the-shelf template. So be wary of any Watford web designer that promises to get you up and running for a budget price. Discount websites often fail to deliver, and we are regularly contacted by businesses who need to replace a badly designed site that they have already had to pay for. The last thing you want is to have to pay twice!
In our opinion and experience, it is worth investing a little bit more into your website to ensure you get it right the first time. This doesn’t mean you should automatically accept the most expensive quote you receive, but your website designer should be able to explain why the site costs what it does.
Our Watford website design agency strives to deliver a return on your investment. Contact our team for a custom quotation with prices starting from just £2,500.
