Web design for Leeds.
Often as somebody else’s build team.
Leeds has a deep agency and design market, and a fair share of what we do there is not client-facing at all: we are the build team behind another studio’s design, or the people brought in when a project needs a database, payments, logins and an admin area that the design studio does not build. We are content to be invisible in that arrangement and we work to the other agency’s name, not ours.

How this works in practice, and what we need from the studio on day one.
We work to your design, properly
Give us the design file and we build what is in it, including the states nobody drew — empty, loading, error, too much text, a name that is forty characters long. We will flag those rather than inventing them silently.
We tell you what will not survive data
A table designed for four columns and eight rows behaves differently with forty rows and a phone. That conversation early costs an hour; late it costs a redesign.
Your client, your relationship
We will join calls as your team if that is what you want, or stay entirely behind you. Both are normal and we do not approach your client afterwards.
Handover that does not depend on us
Documented, in your repository, with the accounts in your name. A build partner who leaves you dependent has mis-sold you.
And we are your processor, not a controller
When we build on your client’s data we are acting on your instructions, which is a defined role with defined duties rather than a handshake. It belongs in the contract between us, and the published guidance sets out what each side carries.

The direct Leeds work, and the one thing it has in common
- Trade and wholesale reach Several of the businesses we build for supply customers in Leeds; the systems are trade portals with price bands, standing orders and statements per account.
- Internal tools, not websites The direct enquiries that convert are usually an operations screen — a scheduler, an approval queue, a reconciliation view — rather than anything the public sees.
- Integration over replacement A Leeds business with an established finance system wants the new thing to feed it, not supersede it.
When we are the wrong firm for this
If you are an agency wanting an offshore rate, we are not it, and there are firms who will be a third of our cost. If you want a build partner who will take the brief and not be heard from until launch, also not us — we ask a lot of questions and we raise problems early, which some studios find irritating. And for direct clients, if the project is design-led and you want somebody in the room, Leeds has excellent studios.
We are worth a call when the hard part has a database in it.
