Custom websites for North Yorkshire businesses.
I design and build fast, secure sites that turn a Google search into an enquiry, built like software, not stitched together from plugins.
One studio, one project at a time, and the person you speak to is the person writing the code.
A one-person studio in Northallerton. Fixed price, a reply within 48 hours, and the site is yours to keep.
Proof
What building it properly is worth.
Same kind of business, built like software instead of stacked plugins. Before is the median of 10 real North Yorkshire trade sites, measured on a phone. After is this very site.

These aren’t numbers to brag about. On a phone, they decide whether the person searching for you waits for your page, or taps back to whoever loaded first, before they’ve seen a thing you make.

Guide prices, where each job starts. Your fixed fee is sent by email after a free call, and that’s the price you pay: no meter, no surprise invoice.
Every build includes a month of care after launch. Ongoing hosting and care plans are optional, never a lock-in.

One person.
The one doing the work.
A web design studio in Northallerton & North Yorkshire.
That means quick answers, honest timelines, and a site shaped around your business instead of squeezed into a template.
And because it’s built properly, not stacked out of plugins, it stays fast and doesn’t need a pile of monthly fees just to keep working. One less thing to worry about.
More about the studio →Common questions.
How much does a project cost?
Each service shows a guide “from” price, so you can see roughly where things start before you get in touch: a website from £1,500, brand identity from £1,200, a web app from £5,000. Those are starting points, not a package price — where your project lands depends on how many pages, whether it needs logins or a shop, and how much of the writing and design is on me. The exact figure comes after the first call, once I know what the work involves. That call is free, with no obligation, and you'll get one fixed quote before anything starts, not a meter that runs.
How long does a project take?
Anywhere from one week for a starter site up to twelve for a full web app. You'll get an exact timeline before anything begins, not an estimate that slips.
Can I edit the site myself once it's live?
A web design & build project ships with a CMS: log in, change the words and images, no developer needed for day-to-day updates. A one-page starter site doesn't have one, because it doesn't need an admin panel to change a phone number. Send the change to me instead, and it's covered while your care month or care plan is running.
What if I need changes after launch?
Small tweaks are covered under a Care plan. Anything structural gets quoted first, so nothing shows up on an invoice you didn't see coming.
