Web design in Whitby

I help with brochure sites, performance improvements, accessibility improvements, content & seo tidy-ups in Whitby and nearby.

Whitby and the coast attract seasonal traffic. Sites need to be fast on mobile and clear for visitors searching on the go.

A typical project in Whitby: A responsive site for a hospitality or tourism business, with clear booking or contact and fast-loading pages.

What I can help with

• Brochure sites

  Clear, calm, content-led sites for services, venues, charities, and local businesses.

  • Simple navigation and page structure
  • Clean, readable typography and layouts
  • Built for phones first, not squeezed in later

• Performance improvements

  Make the site quicker, lighter, and more reliable on real devices.

  • Core Web Vitals focus (LCP, INP, CLS)
  • Reduce page weight and requests
  • Smoother mobile experience

• Accessibility improvements

  Make pages more usable for everyone, and less risky legally.

  • Keyboard and screen reader basics done properly
  • Better contrast, focus states, and form usability
  • Practical fixes, not vague advice

• Content & SEO tidy-ups

  Help search engines and humans understand what you do, fast.

  • Information architecture and page intent
  • Headings, metadata, and internal linking
  • Copy cleanup for clarity and scannability

Typical problems I fix

• Slow loads (especially on mobile).
• Layouts that break, jump around, or feel awkward to use.
• Accessibility issues that block real people from using the site.
• Messy content, confusing navigation, or pages that say a lot without saying anything.
• Sites that are hard to update without breaking something.

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.

What you get (without the faff)

• Bespoke build, no page builders
• Progressive enhancement (works without JS, then upgrades nicely)
• Clear handover and maintainable codebase
• Performance-focused: page weight, CWV, and sensible budgets
• Accessibility-minded: keyboard, semantics, readable UI, real testing
• Content structure and local SEO basics without gimmicks

Rough pricing

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

• Kickstart: £99 setup + £79/month (24 months) or £89/month (12 months)
• Support Scheme: from £599 + £29/month
• Straight-up Build: from £1,499

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.
