A 2021 brochure page with no prices, no local pages and nowhere obvious to get in touch. Rebuilt in a day around what customers need.

Darlington Design

This website · rebuilt October 2026

My own site had barely changed since 2013. It now leads with a free review, clear prices and the work itself.

Wolviston Village Cattery

Cattery near Billingham · a client since 2013 · new website launching soon

A client for 13 years. I built their website and online booking system in 2013. This year both were rebuilt: a website that works on a phone, and a new booking system the owners use every day. The new website is so new it isn’t live yet, so the “after” is a preview.

  • The owners change their prices and home-page notices themselves
  • A new booking system, with every customer and booking moved across from the old one
  • One record per customer, instead of a new copy with every booking
  • Support from someone local who answers the phone

Norman Property Maintenance

Property maintenance, Darlington · a client for 12 years · rebuilt October 2026

A family-run property maintenance business covering Darlington, Richmond and the surrounding villages, established in 1985 and a client since 2014. Their old site still brought in work, but it was built for computers, not phones. The new one keeps what worked and makes it easy to call or ask for a quote from a phone.
