Website design for Hornby
Hornby sits within Christchurch West and South in Canterbury. Businesses serving this area need websites that explain their value quickly, work cleanly on mobile and turn local context into useful customer decisions.
The Hornby business context
Hornby is the southwest's big-box retail and industrial hub — The Hub Hornby, Dress-Smart and the Waterloo Business Park — where Main South Road meets the southern motorway. It serves both the growing southwest suburbs and the Selwyn hinterland commuting via Rolleston.
Local anchors include Industrial/logistics areas, Wigram, university and growth suburbs. Development and market context includes Hornby and southwest growth.
What the website should do
Industrial, automotive and big-format retail businesses need B2B and B2C paths on one site: trade login or quote flows alongside store finders, with content that acknowledges the Selwyn growth catchment.
