Durham web design: made to be found.

Durham is a city where first impressions matter. Between visitors coming to see the Cathedral and Castle, students arriving every September and locals who know exactly where they like to go, businesses here are competing for attention with some of the best-known names in the North East. Your website has to hold its own.

Websites that turn searches into bookings

Many of our Durham clients are in hospitality, retail, tourism and professional services, where the website’s job is simple: get someone to book, order, call or walk through the door. We design around that one job, with menus, bookings, online ordering or enquiry forms front and centre and working perfectly on a phone.

Durham’s trade also moves with the calendar, from graduation and freshers’ weeks to the summer visitor season and Christmas. We make it easy to change offers, opening hours and events yourself, so your site is always up to date when people are looking.

Local SEO for a competitive city

Being on page one for “restaurant in Durham” or “accountant Durham” doesn’t happen by accident. We build every site with search in mind from day one: fast pages, clear structure, the right local signals and a properly set up Google Business Profile. Where it makes sense, we add paid search to bring in customers while your organic rankings grow.

We also look after web design, online shops, SEO, hosting and email, social media and paid search, all from one small team.

Covering Durham and nearby

We work with businesses across the city, from the Market Place and Elvet to Framwellgate and Belmont, and in nearby towns including Chester-le-Street, Spennymoor, Bowburn, Brandon and Sherburn.
