Services

Everything a York business needs to plan, build, launch and look after a website. Take one service or several.

Website design

A website for a York business has two jobs: look like it belongs to a careful, real firm, and get a visitor to the next step without fuss. We design both halves together, starting with the words and the questions your customers ask.

WordPress and custom development

We build on WordPress when you need to edit a lot of content yourself, and on lightweight static or custom set-ups when speed, security and low upkeep matter more. Either way you own everything and it is documented.

Ecommerce websites

From a chocolatier selling gift boxes to a farm shop near Malton shipping hampers, an online store has to make buying feel as easy and trustworthy as walking into the real shop. We build stores that small teams can actually run.

Website redesign

A redesign should keep what already works. We start by finding out which pages bring in visitors and enquiries, then rebuild around them rather than over them.

SEO-ready builds and local SEO

A beautiful site that nobody finds is an expensive brochure. Every site we build is set up for search from the start, and we offer focused local SEO afterwards for businesses that rely on customers nearby.

Hosting and website care

Websites need looking after. Our care plans keep your site updated, backed up and secure, and give you someone to ask when you need a change, without a support ticket maze.

Accessibility and speed audits

Public bodies, universities, heritage organisations and the firms that supply them increasingly need to show their websites are accessible and fast. We audit, explain in plain English and fix.

Branding and copywriting

Plenty of businesses come to us with a logo made in an afternoon and a homepage nobody has dared rewrite. We sort out both before the build starts, so the new site has something solid to say.

Next step

Tell us what the website needs to do

A few lines about your business and what is not working is plenty. We reply within a working day with honest thoughts and, if it fits, a rough plan and price.
