Web design in York.
York is a walled medieval city with heavy heritage constraints and a large tourism economy. We build hand-coded websites for York trades and independents, worked remotely from Bath.
A studio that actually knows the market.
York is the closest thing in the North to Bath's situation: a compact historic core, conservation rules on almost everything, millions of visitors, and a customer base with an eye for how things are presented. Heritage-competent trades are genuinely sought after and the website should lead with that competence, not bury it.
Beyond the walls, York is a normal city with normal suburbs and normal work, plus a large rural catchment across the Vale of York. Holiday lets and second homes generate a steady maintenance trade that is almost entirely found through search.
Getting found in York is part build and part local SEO, with a tidy Google Business Profile doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the map results. Most of those searches happen on a phone, mid-job or after hours, so the site has to load instantly and make the next step obvious.
Web design, area by area.
Each page is written for that part of York and the surrounding area, not stamped from a template. Find yours below.
Made for York service businesses.
Most of our work is for trades and service businesses. If your customers find you on Google, a hand-coded site earns its keep.
York web design questions
Do you meet York clients in person?
Everything runs remotely over a call, email and screen shares, and it makes no difference to the result. The studio is in Bath, so we are not going to pretend we will pop round on a Tuesday. What you get instead is the person who actually builds the site on the other end of the phone, rather than an account manager relaying messages.
How much does a website cost for a York business?
Builds start from £1,200 for a sharp one-page site and run to around £5,500 for a full premium build, all owned outright with no monthly platform rent and no VAT to add. Heritage work inside the walls is a search of its own, and it is usually the page that earns its keep fastest in York.
Can you help my business rank for my York area?
Yes, and it is the highest-return work available to a local trade. It means a genuine page for each area you actually cover, Fulford, Acomb, Bishopthorpe and the rest, rather than one page listing them, plus fast load times, structured data and a complete Google Business Profile so you appear in the map pack when someone nearby searches.
Do you only build websites for tradespeople?
Trades and service businesses are most of our work, but not all of it. If your customers find you on Google and you want a fast site you own outright, we can help, whatever the trade.
Proof you can click through.
Two full case studies, written up decision by decision, so you can see exactly how a build comes together before you commit to one.
Have a look at the Patrick James Bathrooms case study or the Star Bar case study, or read why it pays to own your website instead of renting one. The same approach covers the wider region through England.
