Web design · Hull & East Riding

Web design in Hull.

Hull businesses get quoted like London businesses and served like an afterthought. I’d like a word.

I’m a web designer just up the road in Beverley, and I build fixed-price websites for businesses across Hull and the East Riding — Hessle, Cottingham, Anlaby, Willerby, the lot. No discovery calls, no “from £2,500 depending on requirements,” no account manager. One person, published prices, five-day builds.

The offer.

A full bespoke site from £750, live in five days — £750 for up to two pages, £1,200 for up to four, £1,950 if you want up to six with the search work done properly, then £175 a page beyond that. £300 if the site you’ve got just needs a proper day’s attention. Hosting and care from £45 a month so it never quietly rots. Every price is on the pricing page, in public, because that’s where prices belong. See pricing →

Five working days. The only thing that’s ever made a build late is waiting on the client, so I ask for everything up front.

Built to be found.

Every site ships mobile-first, fast, and set up for local search — because a Hull plumber’s website has one job, and it isn’t winning design awards. It’s ringing.

The pricing problem, specifically.

Hull has a web design problem that isn’t really about taste. It’s that a city this size, with a lot of small, hard-working, margin-thin businesses in it, gets sold on roughly the same rate card as Leeds — and then, because three thousand pounds is a serious number for a two-van firm, the business does nothing at all. Five years pass. The website stays the one a nephew built, or a Facebook page, or nothing.

That gap is the entire reason I publish prices. £750 is a number you can make your mind up about over a brew, without booking a meeting to find out what the number even is. It doesn’t need finance approval and there’s nothing to haggle over, because the price is the price whether you’re a barber on Newland Avenue or a contractor down in the Fruit Market.

Why one person beats an agency at this size.

The person who designs your site is the person who builds it, launches it, and answers the phone about it. Nothing gets lost in handover because there is no handover.

Common questions.

Do I have to pay the whole amount upfront?

No. You pay half to book the slot and half when the site goes live. On a £750 build that’s £375 to start. If I don’t deliver, you haven’t handed over the full amount to someone you’d then have to chase.

Can you fix the website I’ve already got instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. That’s a Quick Win at £300 — one focused day on the site you have. It’s the right call when the bones are sound and the problem is speed, a broken contact form, mobile layout, or copy that doesn’t say what you do. If the site is a decade-old template fighting you at every turn, I’ll tell you a rebuild is better value rather than take £300 to put a plaster on it.

Will I be able to update it myself afterwards?

Yes, for the things you’ll actually want to change — prices, opening hours, text, photos, new pages. I hand over a site you can edit without ringing me, because a web designer who makes himself the only route to changing your own opening hours isn’t a designer, he’s a toll booth.

Do you actually work with Hull businesses, or just Beverley ones?

Both, and Hull is eight miles down the road so there’s no meaningful difference in how I work. I build for businesses across Hull and the East Riding — Hessle, Cottingham, Anlaby, Willerby — and for clients elsewhere in the UK I never meet in person at all. Being local is an option I offer, not a condition I impose.
