Standing out in the north’s biggest market.

Leeds has no shortage of agencies. What it doesn’t have is many teams who’ll treat a mid-sized build like the main event.

Leeds is the north’s commercial capital: the financial and legal district, a digital sector that’s outgrown its postcode, the Victoria Quarter and Corn Exchange independents, and a ring of suburbs from Horsforth to Roundhay, each with its own high-street economy. Whatever you do, plenty of other Leeds businesses do it too.

In a market that crowded, a website has one job above all: make you the obvious choice in the thirty seconds someone gives you. City-centre agencies charge city-centre rates for that. We’re forty-five minutes down the motorway in Doncaster, which keeps our prices honest and our diaries open. A £5,000 build gets our full attention, not the gap between retainers.

So we build to stand out: bespoke WordPress design around your brand, quick on a phone, and structured so people searching in Leeds, Headingley and Horsforth actually find you. For the fight to the first page, our SEO service runs alongside, and once you're live, care plans and website management stop the site slipping back into the pack.

We build for Leeds businesses already. Oxify’s Leeds clinic is part of a five-location booking site we designed and built, and it came back to us after a year away, which we take as the better review. Read the Oxify case study.

The Leeds search picture

Every suburb is a market. Headingley, Horsforth, Roundhay, Morley and Pudsey each search like towns in their own right. City-centre visibility says nothing about whether Horsforth can find you.

The first page is a fight. Commercial Leeds searches are as contested as any in Yorkshire, and structure, speed and credibility are the entry fee. They're also buildable, which is the good news.

Big-firm polish set the baseline. Leeds customers see professionally built sites all day, so a template reads instantly as such. The standard is higher here whether that's fair or not.

Judge us on our work.

Five of our builds, and the job each one was hired to do. In a market this crowded, ECG is the instructive one: growth engineered through the website itself, not the ad budget.

“Nothing has been too much trouble and the support and knowledge is second to none.”

Tom Green, Greenline Accountants

Every business in our portfolio is still a client. That is the argument for spending properly once, with people who will still be here in three years.

Six promises, in writing.

Six commitments in the contract. Agencies in this city talk a good game; we'd rather be held to one.

WordPress only

Twelve years of one platform, on purpose.

Fixed price

What we quote is what you pay.

No tie-in

Month to month, with 30 days' notice.

You own it all

Your site, code, content and hosting.

Never outsourced

The people you meet do the work.

We stick around

Launch is the start of the job, not the end.

What a website costs.

No packages. A Call Lane bar and a Colton logistics firm don't need the same website, so the range below is priced per job.

£2,500 A focused site doing one job well
£15,000 A multi-system build with custom development

How many jobs the site has to do.

Whether you're selling online.

What it has to talk to: CRM, ERP, bookings.

How much of it there is.

Whether the content already exists.

Paying for the build

One fixed figure, invoiced in stages, with 30 days of support included.

If cash flow is the constraint, the same build spreads over 12, 24 or 36 months.

From first conversation to launch.

Four stages from first conversation to launch. You'll see progress weekly, and you'll always be talking to the people doing the work.

Discovery

Your business, your customers, a clear spec and an honest timeline.

Design & build

Designed and built from scratch, with feedback at every stage.

Test & train

Tested on real devices, then your team trained to run it.

Launch & beyond

Live, watched closely, with 30 days of support included.

Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope.

The right fit

We're picky, on purpose.

We take on a few projects at a time and do them properly. In a city with endless options, being picky is mutual protection.

You're in the right place if

  • An established business, outgrown DIY
  • You see the site as a tool for work
  • You want a partner after launch
  • You'll share how the business ticks

We're probably not your people if

  • A £500 quick fix or a site by Friday
  • Set on Wix, Shopify or Squarespace
  • Chasing the cheapest of five quotes
  • You'd rather not talk about the business

On the fence? Ask. We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.

Questions people actually ask.

Straight answers to what Leeds businesses ask when they're weighing us against city-centre agencies.

The honest range is £2,500 to £15,000, and unlike most Leeds agencies we'll put a fixed figure on it after one conversation. What moves it is the job list: enquiries only, selling, bookings, or systems the site has to talk to. If cash flow is the constraint rather than ambition, pay monthly website design spreads the identical build.

Yes, including in the city: Oxify's Leeds clinic runs on a five-location site we designed and built. We're forty-five minutes down the motorway, which in practice means in-person meetings when they're useful and none of the city-centre overhead in your quote.

Because the build is the product, not the postcode. Our work stands next to city-studio output, the quote doesn't carry a city studio's overheads, and we're on the M1 when meetings need to happen in person.

Yes, and in a market this crowded the foundations matter more than anywhere: structure, speed and credibility are the entry fee for a commercial Leeds search. The build includes them; our SEO service then fights for the rankings month to month if you want it.

Yes. Real pages for the areas that matter, built properly, are what get a business surfacing in Headingley or Horsforth searches rather than drowning city-wide. It's structure, not tricks.

No. Everything is designed and built by our own team in Doncaster. The person you meet at the start is the person building your site.

Thirty days of support is included. After that most clients move onto a care plan, which runs month to month with 30 days' notice. There's no obligation, but almost everyone stays, which we think says more than we could.

Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope. We'll give you an honest timeline before we start. If you need something live by Friday, we're genuinely not the right fit.
