We specialise in semi-bespoke small business websites built entirely on the WordPress platform. This popular content management system is easy-to-use, loved by Google, and is used by 43.1% of the top 10 million websites as of December 2023. WordPress is open-source software so it’s constantly evolving and being improved by thousands of developers around the globe, which ensures that every aspect of your website is non-proprietary.
Our small business websites incorporate responsive mobile design so they adapt beautifully and deliver the full website content to any iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, laptop, etc. We practice the mobile-first design philosophy that aims to create better experiences for users by starting the design process from the smallest of screens: mobile. Designing your website for mobile devices helps to ensure that your users’ experience is seamless on every device.
Working from an evolving pool of literally thousands of highly rated WordPress themes, our design team will scout out and hand-pick a selection of themes that match your desired criteria, and help you to choose the perfect design for your website project. These premium WordPress themes have already undergone many hours of development, so we are working from a solid foundation to personalise the design into a beautiful website for your business or non-profit organisation.
Enjoy full ownership of your website files to do whatever you wish! After completion, you can take the website with you and arrange for your own web hosting and support, or for total peace of mind, choose a comprehensive website maintenance plan. Many small business owners don’t realize the importance of full website ownership until they’ve had a bad experience with a web designer and have been forced to give up their website because it was non-transferable.
During the design process you will be working with an experienced website designer based out of York, North Yorkshire to discuss your goals, formulate a strategy, and choose the perfect design as the foundation for your project. This collaboration helps to move the project forward smoothly and ensures that we are creating the best small business website experience for your money.

For those clients without a logo, we’ll select a suitable logo from Canva to work with the design and personalise it for your business.
Every website project includes up to 25 high-resolution photographs and one HD or 4K video from Shutterstock.com.
