We looked at a hundred Leeds websites. Most weren't fine.
Websites for Leeds businesses, designed and built at a studio fifteen miles up the M62 in Huddersfield.
Free 30 minutes. No pitch, no obligation.
Earlier this year we went through a hundred established Leeds companies and looked properly at their websites. Twenty-one had no mobile layout at all. Forty-five had analytics that had stopped reporting. Twelve had no security certificate.
These weren't struggling businesses. They were profitable companies whose sites had simply stopped being anyone's job, usually after whoever originally built it moved on and nobody replaced them.
That's the ordinary way a good site goes bad, and worth knowing before you commission a new one. What matters isn't how it looks at launch. It's whether anyone is still looking after it in year three.
This is probably you if
- Your site looks dated next to the people you lose work to.
- It was built by somebody who is no longer contactable.
- It reads well on a laptop and badly on a phone.
- You can't say how many enquiries it produced last month.
Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

What we do
Design
Made for your business rather than adapted from a theme, and judged on whether people get in touch rather than on whether it wins anything.
Build
Laravel, hand-built, fast on a phone on a bad connection, which is where a good part of your traffic actually is.
Content that answers the question
Written for what people arrive wanting to know. Most sites describe the company and then wonder why nobody enquires.
Search foundations
Structure, speed and technical groundwork done at build time, which is far cheaper than retrofitting it a year later.
Measurement that works
Tracking that reports real enquiries and their source, checked afterwards rather than installed and forgotten.
Somebody still there in year three
Ongoing support from the people who built it. The single thing most missing from the hundred sites we looked at.
“The 628 team were amazing! They suggested great ideas, implemented changes quickly, and consistently checked in to ensure we were happy.”

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.
