🏢 The local picture
Why Ilkeston businesses come to us
Erewash is the most overlooked market in Derbyshire, and the reason is geography. Ilkeston and Long Eaton are twenty minutes from Nottingham and twenty minutes from Derby, so agencies in both cities treat the valley as an afterthought and businesses here end up with work built for somewhere else.
That location is actually a commercial advantage if the website is set up for it. An Ilkeston trade or supplier can credibly serve two cities and everything between, but only if the site says so clearly. Most do not, and quietly lose work to competitors in Nottingham who are no closer to the customer.
Long Eaton gives the area a genuinely national industry. It has been the centre of British upholstery and furniture manufacturing for generations, and the trade around it — makers, frame builders, fabric suppliers, finishers — sells across the country. These are product businesses with catalogues, trade pricing and long lead times, and they are badly served by generic small-business websites.
Around that sits the usual Erewash mix of light industrial units, engineering and trades across Kirk Hallam, Cotmanhay and Sandiacre, plus town centre independents on Bath Street. The M1 at junction 25 and the proximity to East Midlands Airport also make the valley a distribution corridor in its own right.

Frequently asked questions
Are you a Nottingham or a Derby agency?
Neither. We are in Mansfield, about thirty-five minutes from Ilkeston, and we treat Erewash as its own market rather than the edge of somebody else’s.
Can we visit your office?
Yes, by appointment only. Ring 01623 650333 or send a message first so we know to expect you. We are also happy to come to you, which most clients prefer.
How much does a website cost in Ilkeston?
From £299 + VAT for a brochure site. Trade catalogues and shops cost more. You get a fixed quote before work starts.
Do you work with Long Eaton furniture manufacturers?
Yes, and it is a particular kind of build — trade pricing, fabric and finish options, long lead times and a catalogue that has to make sense to both retailers and the public. It is not a standard shop.
Should we target Nottingham and Derby as well as Ilkeston?
Usually yes, and it is one of the biggest wins available here. It needs the site structured for it rather than just adding city names to a page, and we will explain what that involves before you commit.
Having worked with Dijitul for years now I wouldn’t go anywhere else — approachable, reliable and efficient, no stress solutions. Happy customer!
