Web design and software development in Harrogate

Harrogate businesses tend to care how things look, and they're right to. A fixed price and a fast build don't have to mean a template.

What it costs

No "contact us for a quote". These are the bands we work in, and the proposal names one number inside them.

What you wantPriceTypical time
Custom business site£1,500 to £4,0001 to 2 weeks
Online shop£2,500 to £6,0002 to 3 weeks
Internal tool or customer portal£3,000 to £12,0002 to 4 weeks
Care plan after launch£75 to £250 a monthongoing
Rescue teardown of an existing buildfree, 30 minutessame week

Bands, not a quote. The proposal names one number and one date, and the contract carries both.

Working with Harrogate businesses

Design and speed get treated as a trade off, usually because design is the part that gets billed by the day. When the machine does the build work, the human hours go where they show: layout, type, the detail that makes a page feel considered rather than assembled.

Common work here is a custom site with real photography, an online shop, or a booking and enquiry flow that doesn't feel like a form from 2012.

How we build, in full

The machine does

First drafts of screens, markup and logic. The repetitive 80%: forms, lists, plumbing, the fifth variation of the same page.

The human does

Scope, architecture, security, data protection, and the decision about what not to build. Every line reviewed and signed off by name.

Every project gets a build log: what was asked for, what it cost, how long it took, what the machine did and what the human did. Published, not summarised.

The honest bit

We don't do brand identity from scratch. If you need a logo, a name and a full visual system, bring a designer or we'll recommend one, then we'll build to it faithfully.

Questions people actually ask

Is AI writing my software actually safe?

The risk with AI generated code is real and well documented: more bugs, more security holes, when nobody reviews it. That's why review is the product here. A senior engineer reads everything, security and UK GDPR are deliverables rather than extras, and their name goes on it.

Are you actually in Harrogate?

We're based in Leeds. We'll come to Harrogate to scope the work and for anything that needs a room, and build remotely, which is part of why the price is what it is.

Why are you cheaper than the quote I already have?

Because the typing got faster and we passed that on. The thinking, the review and the testing didn't get faster, which is why we're cheaper than an agency but not as cheap as a DIY tool. Anyone charging pre-AI day rates for AI-assisted work is pocketing the difference.

Do I own it?

Yes. Code, repository, hosting and accounts, all in your name, no lock in. You can take it to any other developer the day after launch.
