Websites

More than just web design

We are digital experts, not just website designers in Barnoldswick… we provide a full range of online tools and services for small businesses and organisations in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Lincolnshire and beyond:

Website design and build

We’ve been designing and building websites for 20 years and can guide you through the whole process:

  • informal chat to explore ideas
  • proposal quotation
  • technical setup, including hosting
  • content gathering and writing
  • building the website
  • search engine optimisation
  • testing and launch
  • monitoring and website care
  • training

We charge a set amount per hour or day, so the price of your website build depends on your requirements. A single page with your business details can be as little as £30. A full, professionally designed website that you can edit yourself is often around the £200 to £300 mark. Big sites with lots of features and lots of content – with us doing all the work for you so that you can concentrate on your business – can cost up to £3,000 (still a fraction of what you’ll often be quotes by other agencies).

Same-day, by the end of this week, or at a time to suit you. We usually have enough spare time capacity to fit in urgent jobs (a local client in Earby needed a full website rebuild within a week – we met the deadline and exceeded their expectations). We often give discounts for projects booked in advance and are always happy to work with you in a way that fits in with your business.

The tools we use include all modern content management systems such as wordpress, joomla and drupal, and we also have past experience with Sharepoint, MCMS and hand-coded HTML.

Website repair and improvement

We can also fix, change, develop or replace your existing website – working with any code or content management systems. You don’t need any technical knowledge to ask for help and we promise to build something that is fit for purpose, fully owned by you and totally scaleable for the future.

Website maintenance

Not got time to keep your website up to date, or feel like you’re out of your depth? We can put together a website care package that fits your needs, from updating your blog a couple of times a month or adding new products, to overseeing your content, marketing strategy and customer acquisition. Starting from just £20 a month, get in touch to discuss how we can help.

Website hosting

Our super-fast cloud web server is the perfect place to host your website. Everything is looked after 24 hours a day, we store 4 backups per day for 3 weeks and have a very nifty system that allows your site to be rolled back to a copy made last night if anything goes wrong. Basically a transparent, worry-free option with a local person at the end of the phone!

Changing the design

Already got a site but want to update the way it looks? Maybe you want to make it work better on mobiles and tablets? Often this is very straightforward and a cheap way of improving the experience for your customers (and search engines).

We can provide ideas and source ready-made templates than can be used to update your site in a matter of hours.

Upgrading the engine

If your site uses a content management system such as wordpress, it needs to be kept up-to-date to ensure your site is safe from hackers, secure for your visitors and conforms to the latest web standards. We can do a quick MOT and ensure your website is running smoothly behind the scenes.

Training

Want to manage your website yourself? Got a team of staff who need to take responsibility for your organisation’s new web presence? We provide tailored courses and guided learning, from one-on-one, hands-on sessions to training days with presentations and user manuals.

Looking after your site

Let us look after your website so that you can concentrate on your business. From an hour each month to add news items to your blog, right up to full management of your site’s content, marketing strategy, advertising campaigns and lead generation and conversion.

“The website is fab, thanks :O)
Everyone’s over the moon with it!”

years experience

We have, built and managed websites since 1997, from local shops to national organisations like the Woodland Trust and The Wildlife Trusts

Your website is YOURS

We only build websites using open-source, publicly available software and code, so every element is yours to own and control.

You have access to everything, from logins to edit right down to the hosting account and server control panel. You are free to access your databases and files at any time and move them to other hosting providers should you wish.

We are friendly and flexible

As a small company, we pick up the phone and deal with any issues immediately.

There’s no logging tickets, waiting for a developer or going through an account manager every time.

We only take on a very small number of website developments at a time, so you’re always a VIP.

We’ve been in your shoes!

After nearly two decades working in small businesses and charities, we’ve been there and seen it all when it comes to getting websites built and looked after.

We’re not a one-hit-wonder company just eager to get a signature on a contract – we want to help you get the most out of the internet in the long term. Pride in our work is extremely important to us.
