About the project
Bringing the Market Online
Hitchin Market is a beloved community market in Hertfordshire specialising in fresh, locally sourced produce. They needed a digital presence that captured the warmth and personality of the physical market while promoting events and attracting new visitors.
Project Details
The Challenge
Hitchin Market needed to translate the warmth and community spirit of a physical market into a digital experience.
Community Feel
Capturing the personality of a local market in a digital format
Event Promotion
No system for promoting seasonal events and special market days
Vendor Visibility
Individual stallholders had no online presence or discovery mechanism
The Solution
We created a warm, inviting website that feels like walking through the market — vibrant imagery, vendor spotlights, and event listings front and centre.
Vibrant Design
Warm colour palette and photography-driven layout reflecting the market atmosphere
Event Calendar
Integrated event listings with seasonal promotions and special market days
Vendor Directory
Individual profiles for stallholders with produce categories and contact details
