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.

No mystery to it. Five steps from the first call to a live site, and here's exactly what each one is.

  1. ListenNo obligationA conversation, a walk, the brief. One hour, no obligation.
  2. ShapeStrategy, voice, sitemap, first directions. Fewer options, better considered.
  3. MakeDesign + build in lockstep. Weekly reviews. Copy written where it lives.
  4. ShipClean handover, training, launch plan. Indexed, monitored, ready.
  5. TendCare includedA month of post-launch care included. Small fixes, first metrics, then a clean exit or an ongoing care plan.
Before you ask

Common questions.

Our customers are mostly other businesses, wholesalers and retailers, not the public, does that change what we need from a website?

It changes what the site needs to do, not whether you need one. A clear trade page with stockist information and a straightforward way to get in touch usually does more for a B2B food producer than a public-facing shop ever would.

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.

On the ground in Bedale

Why it matters here.

Who it’s for

A food or drink producer already selling beyond the county, needing a site that reads as a serious national supplier, not a farm-shop afterthought.

Bedale gets treated as Northallerton's quieter neighbour, and on the high street, maybe it is. But the town's actual economic identity has nothing to do with retail footfall, it's food production and agricultural technology, specific enough that “market town” undersells it badly.

That specialism only works because of speed, perishable goods moving fast onto the road network, and until fairly recently the digital side of that equation was the weak link, not the roads. Rural connectivity here has caught up faster than most people assume. A food brand that's spent years building a reputation shouldn't be running it on a website that still assumes the connection problem never got fixed.

The food producers scaling fastest out of Bedale, around Leeming Bar, are increasingly selling direct to national retailers and delis rather than just the local market, and that only works if the brand looks as considered online as the product does on the shelf. A site that shows the process properly, where it's made, how it's handled, does real work turning a first-time buyer into a repeat account.
