Web Design Wakefield

website specialists in the wakefield area

Web Design Wakefield

If you're looking for a website in the Wakefield / West Yorkshire area, you're in luck! Wakefield, Horbury and Ossett are our main base of operations. It's where you'll find most of our customers.

We enjoy the personal touch when working with customers. If you happen to be on our doorstep, it's straightforward for us to pop over and talk through exactly what you need to move your business/project forward.

Eagle-eyed readers who follow our various social channels will probably see we often check in to the Red Kite on Denby Dale Road outside Wakefield. This is a favourite venue of ours, and it's where many of our meetings with clients occur. We love sitting with customers and getting to grips with what they want from a website, going through examples of similar sites, talking through features, and finding out what they like.

In the digital age, you'll find lots of companies keen to work remotely, do all corresponding via email etc. – and there's a place for this. However, we're firm believers that it's sometimes better to sit down in the real world and talk through a project. We're all friendly, personable people, and we're only on the other end of the telephone.
 

What sort of services we provide

We're a full-service agency that supplies everything from short runs of business cards to full e-commerce websites. We can help with most design requirements you may have. Our primary focus is web. However, we love to get our teeth into a juicy website project. We can rebrand, redevelop or launch an entirely new website for you. Sites can be either static informational pages or fully dynamic with whatever features you may require. Some of the website services we offer include:

  • Website health checks
  • Rebranding
  • Redeveloping your existing site
  • Adding new features
  • Fully bespoke new websites
  • Blogs / WordPress
  • E-commerce stores
  • Magento
  • Hosting (PHP 7 / MySQL)

The list goes on and on! We've got a highly skilled team of designers and web developers that take real pride in building your perfect place on the web.
 

Our Wakefield Roots

As two of our directors are born and bred in Wakefield, we’re very active in the local area; we even run our own networking group. Stronger Together networking is run by MJL Law and ourselves, and in association with Ossett United at their Ingfield Stadium premises on Prospect Road, Ossett. Our events are held once a month and aim to build a sense of community and collaboration between trusted partners in the Wakefield area. 

We’re proud members of We Are Wakefield, you’ll likely find us at local events in the area. Recent events include Wakefield Cathedral and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. If you’re local to the area you’ll likely have seen our banners at Ingfield Stadium, our Ossett United sponsorship or perhaps our name pop up on local social media groups.

 

Want to know more?

If you're local to the Wakefield area, we'd love to sit down and talk to you about your needs and requirements. We work out packages on a case by case basis. There's no price list as such as we believe this gives you a better service and more flexibility.

In the first instance, reach out by email or give us a call – we'll listen to what you need and hopefully arrange a meeting to move things forward. We're passionate about what we do. Get in touch and tell us what you need.

Some of our local Wakefield customers

There’s nothing we love more than working with local clients and helping them with their website requirements. Each and every website is a different challenge, some of our favorite projects include:

L&M Electrical: New website for Wakefield based electricians. What better website to use a dark mode switch on? It’s bold, vibrant, and showcases their services in a very visual fashion.

Katie Ford: Winner of our “free website” promotion during the Covid 19 pandemic. The new site helped Katie transition her business after losing her gym. This subtle life coaching site is all about empowerment and positive mindset.

Hopkinson Cycles: It was an honour to bring to life a new e-commerce website for the small cycle shop that Richard and Charles used growing up in the Horbury area. This blossoming transactional site has seen huge growth and continued investment since its initial launch. 

Outside the Box: A joinery company run by Gareth, local to the Crofton area. Gareth wanted something to showcase his work and show customers the sort of projects he’s really proud of. Gareth came to us with some nicely stylised branding and we built his website to fit in perfectly with this theme.

Getting your website found locally in Wakefield

The best sort of traffic for your local business, is local traffic. Visitors from your local area are most likely to convert into customers. We love designing websites that look great, but we understand that the main goal of a new site is that it needs to perform. 

The very fact you’re reading this page at the moment shows we know how to get a business found. We’ve worked with numerous websites in the Wakefield / 5 towns area; something they all have in common is that they want local traffic.

When people search for their services locally, they want to rank strongly in search engines. We build sites to get found and be noticed. Getting local eyes on your business is essential.
