Delivery from Newcastle upon Tyne
Customers in York often check three businesses before they call. If your website is slow, unclear or missing key details, they move on to the next result. Hotels, cafés, trades, attractions and professional firms all compete for attention in a busy local market.
A pretty website alone will not fill rooms, tables, diaries or job sheets. You need one system that shows up in local searches, explains your value, captures useful enquiries and answers missed calls. We provide that system remotely from Newcastle upon Tyne, with clear prices and one team throughout.
The problem
A tourist sees ten York accommodation options, while a homeowner compares several trades. If your first screen hides prices, proof or the next step, the visitor leaves before you know they arrived.
Show your strongest service and booking path first
Old opening hours, weak photos and incomplete service details make your Google Business Profile less useful. Competitors with fresher information can win the call, even when you do better work.
Refresh your profile, services, posts and contact details
Messages often arrive with no address, date, measurements or budget. You spend time asking basic questions instead of pricing the work or serving the customer already booked in.

The result
Forms ask for the details needed to price work, plan a booking or qualify a lead. You spend less time chasing basics and more time deciding which opportunities fit.
Your website and Google Business Profile explain what you do, where you work and how to contact you. Residents and visitors can act without hunting through pages.
The AI receptionist answers when you are unavailable, collects the important information and texts you. You can return calls with context instead of starting from nothing.
01
York has visitors booking rooms, diners comparing menus, homeowners searching for repairs and businesses looking for trusted suppliers. Your website should help each person take the next step without waiting for you to reply. We build the website as the centre of your marketing and enquiry system.
Our web design York service is delivered over video call and email. You deal with the same person throughout. There is no travel cost built into the price, so remote delivery helps keep the work affordable without removing the important parts.
02
People search for phrases such as "hotel near York", "York wedding photographer", "boiler repair York" and "restaurant near York Minster". Local search means improving the places those people see, including your website and Google Business Profile, which is the listing showing your phone number, opening hours, photos and reviews.
York is a competitive tourist city, and historic buildings can make your location and access details especially important. We make your services, areas, parking, opening times and booking route easy to understand. We also help your profile support searches from residents, visitors and nearby areas.
More detail
Open the parts you care about. Everything here is on the page, just tidied away.
"Can you give me a quote?" is not enough information to price a job or reply quickly. We build forms around what you actually need to know. A roofer may need property type and roof damage. A wedding supplier may need the date, guest numbers and venue. A hotel may need dates, rooms and extras.
The result is a cleaner handover from website visitor to proper enquiry. We can route forms to email, record the source and support call tracking. That means fewer messages asking for basic details, and a better view of which marketing produces worthwhile work.
A visitor comparing York hotels, tour providers or restaurants may never contact every business. Reviews often decide who gets the booking. The same applies to a customer choosing a joiner, solicitor, photographer or heating engineer. Recent, specific proof gives people confidence when several listings look similar.
We help you ask for reviews after completed work, not months later when the customer has forgotten the experience. Your website can show useful feedback beside the service it supports. We can also help you respond clearly when a review raises a fair concern.
Calls arrive while you are carrying equipment, serving lunch, showing a room or dealing with a guest. A missed call can become someone else's booking. Our AI Receptionist costs £169 a month, or £199 a month with Website Care. It answers in your business name, all day and night.
It takes the caller's details, asks about the job or booking, sorts urgency and texts you straight away. It does not leave you guessing who called. You can then call back with the right information, while urgent enquiries are easier to spot.
When you need enquiries sooner, Google Ads can place your business in front of people actively searching. We manage campaigns for chosen York services, booking periods and customer types. The management fee is £449 a month. Your ad spend goes directly to Google and is never marked up.
We track more than clicks. Calls, forms and booking actions show what happened after someone visited. That helps you see which campaigns create real opportunities, rather than paying for traffic that never becomes a conversation.
Search demand changes with the calendar. York tourism, Christmas markets, weddings, student moves, summer work and winter repairs all create different opportunities. SEO and Content costs £249 a month and includes two useful pages or articles, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, directory mentions, rank tracking and a monthly report.
You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram for your approval. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and turns your marketing plan into weekly tasks, so you know what to do next.
Essentials costs £1,295 and gives you a credible website that turns visitors into enquiries. Complete costs £1,995 for businesses losing work to missed calls. Growth costs £2,495 for businesses ready to buy leads through Google. Each website client must have Website Care at £59 a month for hosting, security and support.
We also build Ecommerce Launch from £2,495, Ecommerce Growth from £3,995 and Ecommerce Pro from £5,995. Direct Booking starts at £2,495, Booking Growth at £3,995 and Tourism Pro from £5,995. Appointment booking websites cost £1,495 to £1,995. We can also scope custom software and web apps.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.
A Look North website
Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.
What happens after launch
A £199 builder site
Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.
A Look North website
The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.
Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
