Bespoke WordPress websites for York businesses serving locals and the millions who visit them. Built an hour away in Doncaster, priced outside the city walls.
York businesses serve the city and the millions of people who visit it. Your website has to work for both.
York runs two economies at once: a visitor economy that fills the Shambles, the Minster quarter and the festivals calendar all year, and a resident economy of professional firms, independents and a growing tech scene that has nothing to do with tourism. Most York businesses serve both: locals who know them, and visitors who found them on a phone an hour ago.
That second audience only exists online. A visitor planning a trip, a couple comparing venues, a family booking a weekend: they’ve all decided from a website before they set foot in the city. If yours is slow or dated, the booking goes to the competitor two doors down before you knew it existed.
So we build for both audiences: bespoke WordPress design around your brand, quick on a phone, and structured so people searching in York, Haxby and Acomb actually find you. Want the search side worked harder? Our SEO service runs alongside the site, while care plans and website management keep it sharp long after launch day.
We build here, too. Oxify’s York clinic runs on a site we designed and built: a five-location booking build spanning Leeds, Manchester, Retford, York and Newcastle Gateshead. Read the Oxify case study.
Visitors search before they arrive. Millions plan York trips from their sofas, choosing restaurants, venues and experiences days in advance. Those decisions are made entirely on websites, and they're made against your competitors' sites.
The residential city is a separate map. Haxby, Acomb, Fulford and Clifton search like suburbs of a different city from the tourist core. Local firms win there on proximity if their site lets them.
Seasonality rewards the prepared. Christmas, race days and festival weekends spike search demand predictably. Sites structured for those moments harvest them; the rest watch the bookings go elsewhere.
Five of our builds, and the job each one was hired to do. Rejuvenair is the one to read first in York: bookings taken seriously, from first search to confirmed slot.
“Nothing has been too much trouble and the support and knowledge is second to none.”

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.
No packages. A Shambles retailer and a Clifton Moor B2B firm don't need the same website, so the range below is priced per job.
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.
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.
Your business, your customers, a clear spec and an honest timeline.
Designed and built from scratch, with feedback at every stage.
Tested on real devices, then your team trained to run it.
Live, watched closely, with 30 days of support included.
Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope.
On the fence? Ask. We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.
"Within two weeks of Pixelish going live, we were on page 2 of Google in a major city with no extra ad spend, something I'd been told would take a year and a big budget. Genuinely impressed."
"Had an email and domain problem that others couldn't diagnose. Pixelish found and fixed it straight away, extremely helpful and quick. Highly recommend."
"Brilliant! Very quick. Always on hand to help. Everything runs smoothly. Would highly recommend"
"Great service and fluid works. Rebuilt my under perfoming website from the ground up in what seemed like no time at all. Really easy to work with. Informative. Professional. Highly recommend. And doesn't mind tweeking bits to suit your needs."
"ALWAYS impressed with the level of website support provided. Consistent turnaround times, clear advice and great customer service :)."
Between £2,500 and £15,000 is where nearly every project we take on lands, and where a York build sits depends on the job: a booking engine for a visitor-facing business is a different project from a brochure site for a professional practice. You get one fixed figure after one conversation, and it only moves if the brief does. If spreading the cost works better, the same build is available through pay monthly website design.
Yes, and there's already York work in the portfolio: Oxify's York clinic runs on one of our builds. The city is an easy hour from the studio, so day to day runs on calls and email, and when a kick-off or content session wants a table, we come to you.
Everything moves earlier. Visitors decide before they arrive, on phones, often abroad, so speed, imagery and instant booking or contact routes carry more weight than any local reputation. The site is your shopfront days before the visit.
That's really two jobs, and we do both. The build itself carries the foundations, tuned for a city where visitors and residents search differently: structure, speed and the signals Google reads. When you want it pushed properly, our SEO service runs month to month alongside the site.
Judge it on the work above. Being an hour away costs you nothing in quality or availability, and it keeps a York agency's rent out of your quote. We're on site when it matters.
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.
One small team in Doncaster, building for businesses across Yorkshire and the East Midlands. If another town is closer to home, start there.
Selby and its district. One of Yorkshire’s quiet growth stories: new housing pulls commuters from York and Leeds, and every family that arrives chooses trades and services by search with no local knowledge at all. First to look credible wins them for years.
We also cover web design in Harrogate, Leeds, Wakefield and Hull.
Elsewhere on Pixelish: SEO, website maintenance, website management and pay monthly website design.
Tell us what the site needs to do, whether that's bookings from visitors or enquiries from the city. You'll hear back within one working day and, if it looks like a fit, get a time to talk.
