Durham Web Designer | Custom-Coded Websites for Local Businesses
We help businesses in Durham stand out from their competitors. Our websites are coded from scratch using clean, efficient HTML, CSS and JavaScript, giving Durham businesses fast loading times, stronger search visibility and a clearer, more professional online presence.
A More Reliable Approach to Durham Web Design
Most agencies build Durham websites using WordPress themes that are slow, bloated and identical to hundreds of others. We take the exact opposite approach. Every website is crafted by hand, giving you a fast, secure foundation that does not rely on plugins or constant updates.
Whether your customers are around the city centre, Neville’s Cross, Gilesgate, Belmont or the university area, your website needs to load instantly and present your business with clarity. That is what we specialise in.
Why Durham Businesses Choose Custom-Coded Websites
Superior Speed and User Experience
WordPress themes slow down as plugins are added and updates accumulate. A custom coded site avoids this completely. It loads instantly, which means visitors stay on the page instead of leaving before they even see what you offer.
Security Without Maintenance Stress
Plugin vulnerabilities are one of the biggest issues with WordPress. One outdated component can create major problems. Our static builds remove this risk entirely.
Better Rankings in Durham Search Results
Google rewards websites that are built properly. Clean code, strong structure and fast loading times help you appear higher for searches across Durham, Framwellgate Moor, Shincliffe and surrounding areas.
A Website That Represents Your Business Clearly
Templates limit your design and force you into layouts made for other industries. Our builds are designed around your business, your services and your customers, giving you a professional presence that stands out across County Durham.

Built for Performance and Long-Term Stability
WordPress sites rely on databases, plugins and heavy themes, all of which slow them down and cause long-term maintenance issues. Our static websites avoid these problems entirely. They load in milliseconds, stay stable for years and require no ongoing patching or plugin updates.
Clean code and strong foundations also give you an advantage in Google’s search systems, helping your business stand out in Durham’s competitive market.
