Knowledgeable, Professional and reliable! We couldn’t have asked for more from Owen.. Excellent service.

Hi, I’m Owen, a web designer based in Yarm with more than 20 years’ experience creating websites that help North Yorkshire businesses grow and attract new customers online. I work with companies in Yarm, Stokesley, Northallerton, Richmond, Thirsk and beyond , delivering websites that are both visually appealing and results-driven.

From brochure-style sites for small local businesses, to tradesman websites that generate enquiries, and eCommerce platforms for selling products online, I design websites that suit your business goals.

Every website I create includes:

  • Responsive design – ensuring your site looks great on all devices.
  • SEO built for local search – helping North Yorkshire businesses appear in search results.
  • Custom layouts – focused on generating leads, building credibility, and boosting online sales.
  • Ongoing support – via email, phone, or one-to-one meetings.
  • Flexible service – no long-term contracts or hidden tie-ins.

I understand the challenges facing local businesses in North Yorkshire. My aim is to deliver websites that don’t just look professional—they actively help your business grow online.

More about me

As a freelance web designer and developer based in Yarm, I help businesses across North Yorkshire create professional, affordable websites that deliver real results.

I began my career in web design back when websites were hand-coded from scratch, long before modern design software made things easier. That hands-on experience taught me the importance of clean, efficient code—a practice I still enjoy today.

I earned a master’s degree from Teesside University, where I also worked as a web designer from 2006–2008. Since moving into the business sector, I’ve designed websites for a wide range of businesses in North Yorkshire, Teesside and the North East, from local shops and cafés to professional services, tradespeople and charities. My work has consistently been recognised for quality and reliability.

Serving North Yorkshire, Teesside & the North East

Why choose me?

I focus on creating websites that deliver real results, not just look good. With over 20 years of experience in web design, I combine clean coding, user-friendly design, and local SEO to help your North Yorkshire business attract customers online.

I provide bespoke website design, WordPress development, eCommerce sites, on-page SEO, mobile-responsive design, and ongoing support to help your business grow online.

Being based in Yarm and working across North Yorkshire and Teesside, I understand local markets, customer behaviour and search trends—ensuring your website reaches the right audience.

Absolutely. I speak in plain everyday English (without industry jargon) and provide personalised support, including email, phone and one-to-one guidance, so you feel confident managing your site.

Sure. As well as being a web designer, I'm also a qualified historian. I live near Yarm with my wife Lorna, who is a silversmith and jeweller. We live with 2 cats, 5 chickens and a bee hive (and yes, I do get stung - from time to time!)

Don’t just take my word for it..

My customers consistently give me 5 Star Google reviews
and regularly describe me as helpful, responsive, professional and affordable.
I’m proud to have earned consistent 5-star reviews across Google and independent platforms.
