Fonthill Road sells to other businesses. Stroud Green Road sells to someone deciding what to eat. Your website has to know which one you are.

Finsbury Park

A district town centre in three boroughs, built around a station, selling two completely different things.

The town centre here sits exactly where Haringey, Islington and Hackney meet, wrapped around the station, one of the busiest interchanges of its kind: eight National Rail platforms and four Underground platforms serving the Victoria line, the Piccadilly line, the Northern City line and Thameslink, plus two interconnected bus stations. The main retail frontages run along four separate streets — Fonthill Road, Stroud Green Road, Blackstock Road and Seven Sisters Road — and each one trades to a different customer.

Fonthill Road is a long-established wholesale and trade-buying fashion strip, so a shop there may be selling to other shop owners comparing terms and minimums on a laptop, from anywhere in London or beyond, rather than to a resident deciding what to wear tonight. Two streets away, Stroud Green Road's restaurants and bars are chosen by someone deciding where to eat in the next twenty minutes on a phone. The park itself, alongside the station, hosts large ticketed events that add a third, occasional audience again.

The unglamorous part of trading here is administrative rather than commercial: with three boroughs, four rail services and four main streets, addresses and listings scatter across borough names and postcodes until a search engine, let alone a customer, struggles to pin down where a business actually is. Fixing that, and building a site that speaks to the right customer rather than a generic one, is usually the highest-return thing a business on any of these streets can do.
