Web design in Barnsley

Lean, fast, accessible websites built by an actual human. Serving Barnsley and nearby: Woolley, Penistone, Darton, Mapplewell.

I help with new website builds, rebuilds & redesigns, ‘please rescue this site’ clean-ups in Barnsley and nearby.

Barnsley folk tend to be straight-talking, so I keep the process simple, practical, and focused on outcomes.

A typical project in Barnsley: A clean brochure site or rebuild for a local business that needs to load fast and look trustworthy.

What I can help with

Typical problems I fix

How it works

  1. Quick discovery: what you do, who it’s for, what “good” looks like.
  2. Plan: pages, content, priorities, and a sensible scope.
  3. Build: clean HTML/CSS, progressive enhancement, and performance budgets.
  4. Checks: accessibility, responsiveness, speed, and content sanity.
  5. Launch: tidy handover, and optional ongoing support.

Mini case study
Halifax Digital Festival

What was broken

  • Pages were heavier and slower than they needed to be (especially on mobile).
  • Too much competing for attention at load time.

What I did

  • Audited page weight, requests, and Core Web Vitals bottlenecks.
  • Optimised images and cut dead weight from assets.
  • Made changes with a “keep it fast” budget in mind.

What improved

  • Faster loads and a calmer, more reliable experience.
  • Improved performance metrics you can actually measure, not “feels quicker” vibes.

Rough pricing

If you want a rough estimate, most projects land in one of these:

Bigger builds (more pages, custom features, heavier content) are priced after we’ve scoped what you actually need.

FAQs

Do you only work with businesses in Barnsley?

No. I’m happy working locally or remotely. The point of this page is to help local people find me, not to build a fence around the internet.

Do you use templates or page builders?

No. I build bespoke sites with proper foundations, then keep them maintainable and easy to extend.

Can you improve an existing site instead of rebuilding?

Often, yes. If the foundations are decent, we can improve speed, accessibility and content without starting from scratch.

Next step: fill in the quick project form and I’ll come back with a suggested approach and a realistic price range.
