Web design in Huddersfield, from a studio you can walk into.
We're at Brooke's Mill in Armitage Bridge. Come and see the work on a screen bigger than a phone, and meet the two people who will build it.
Free 30 minutes. No pitch, no obligation.
Plenty of web designers in Huddersfield will build you a website, most of them on a template. For a small business that's often the right answer. If it's what you need, we'll say so on the first call.
We're a studio that designs and engineers. The people who build software for Kirklees manufacturers also build the websites. It shows in the parts nobody sees: load speed, and whether your team can update it without ringing anyone.
628 Studio's Huddersfield studio is at Brooke's Mill in Armitage Bridge, ten minutes from town. Most Huddersfield clients have sat in the studio, usually while we draw the thing on a wall. You're welcome to, or a call works just as well.
This is probably you if
- You're a Huddersfield business whose site was built years ago by someone no longer around.
- You're competing with firms in Leeds and Manchester and the website is where you look smallest.
- Your products or services are complicated, and a five page template can't explain them.
- You want to sit down with whoever builds it rather than deal with an account manager in another city.
Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

What we do here
Design that fits the business
Not the style going round this year. Plenty of Huddersfield firms are older than the internet and have a reputation worth reflecting rather than hiding behind a stock photo.
Built by the people who design it
Design and build in the same studio, so nothing is lost between a picture of a website and the website. This is the bit a design-only shop has to subcontract.
A CMS your team will use
Laravel with Filament, so your admin has your fields and nothing else. The test is whether someone updates the site without asking permission.
Fast on a phone, on a bad signal
Measured, not assumed. A site that loads in two seconds in the office and eight on the train has a problem your analytics will show you as a bounce rate.
Local search that actually resolves
Google Business Profile matching the site, the structured data that tells search engines where you are, and pages built for what people in Kirklees type rather than generic terms.
Things that aren't brochures
Quoting tools, portals, stock, booking. If the site needs to do a job rather than describe one, that's the work we do most.
“Highly recommended 628, we had great support on developing a fresh/modern new website. We've already had some big client wins since the site launched.”
Dr Benjamin Moore Associate Director at Excellerate BioscienceMeet the people who'll actually do the work.
No account managers relaying messages. You talk to the people building the thing.

Plenty of studios can build you a website. Here's what tends to make the difference.
Design and engineering, one team
The people who name it and draw it sit with the people who build it. No handover between two suppliers, and no gap in the middle for you to manage.
We'll tell you not to spend
If a tidy-up solves it, we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild. We'd rather lose the bigger job than take money for something that won't pay back.
You talk to the people building it
Founder-led, so there's no account manager relaying your question to someone you never meet. Decisions get made in the same conversation.
A fixed price before we start
You get the number up front, after a free call. No day rate quietly ticking over and no invoice that surprises you at the end.
You own all of it
Code, designs, hosting, repositories. No proprietary platform you can't leave and no licence that grows every time you hire someone.
Offices you can actually visit
Leicester and Huddersfield. Happy to sit down with you and map the thing out in person, happy to keep it to a call if that's easier.
Questions, answered.
