Web design in Middlesbrough

Lean, fast, accessible websites built by an actual human. Serving Middlesbrough and nearby: Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Guisborough, Thornaby.

I help with rebuilds & redesigns, performance improvements, new website builds, accessibility improvements in Middlesbrough and nearby.

Middlesbrough businesses often need practical, fast sites that work hard - clear services, good performance, and proper foundations.

A typical project in Middlesbrough: A performance-focused rebuild or new build for a growing business, with clean design and fast pages.

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
Oldfield Bespoke Furniture

What was broken

  • A fast site, but with room to be even leaner and more robust.
  • Opportunities to reduce weight and keep things consistent across templates.

What I did

  • Tightened performance across templates and assets.
  • Optimised images and reduced overall payload.
  • Kept the build maintainable so the speed gains stick.

What improved

  • Lower page weight and a faster experience across devices.
  • A performance baseline that’s easier to maintain.

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

Can we do this remotely?

Yes. Most work is done remotely and it works brilliantly. If you’re local, meeting up is optional, not mandatory.

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.
