I build websites for accountants, solicitors, and consultants across North Yorkshire. Websites structured to generate enquiries, not just look professional.
Independent web designer and developer. Based in Thirsk. 20 years in the business.It was built a few years ago. Maybe by a freelancer who moved on, maybe by an agency that charges you every time you need a paragraph changed. It looks acceptable enough. But when you're honest about it:
You're too busy running your practice to fix it. And you shouldn't have to think about it. But every month it sits there doing nothing is another month of clients finding your competitor instead.
For a small practice, your website should be doing three things well:
Most of your future clients start with a search. "Accountant in Harrogate." "Solicitor near me." If your site isn't structured for local search and doesn't make it easy to get in touch, those people are finding someone else.
Your enquiry form should feed information where you actually need it — not into an inbox you forget to check. Whether you're using Clio, LEAP, Xero, FreeAgent, or another practice management system, your website should connect to the tools you already rely on, so enquiries arrive where you'll actually see them.
Security updates, performance, uptime — you shouldn't need to worry about any of it. A properly maintained website is one you never think about until someone mentions they found you online.
I'm Dave Wilkinson. I've been designing and building websites since 2004, and I work directly with every client. There's no project manager relaying your feedback to a junior developer. When you email me, I reply. When something breaks, I fix it.
I'm based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, and most of my clients are within an hour's drive: accountants, solicitors, and consultants running small practices across York, Harrogate, Northallerton, Ripon, and the surrounding area.
I handle the full web design process: strategy, design, build, and ongoing support. Which means one person understands your site from the ground up, and you're never starting from scratch with someone new.
Wolferstans needed their large content-driven website rebuilt. Over 100 practice area landing pages, each one structured to rank locally and convert visitors into enquiries.
The challenge was scale without compromise. Every page needed to be individually optimised, easy for internal teams to manage, and fast to load. I built the site around reusable content blocks, giving the team a flexible system they could operate without a developer.
Luke Miller's website listed properties. That was about it. It wasn't communicating the firm's expertise or giving homeowners a reason to get in touch.
I repositioned the website around trust, local credibility, and lead capture — shifting the focus from displaying listings to winning new business. The same principles apply whether you're an estate agent, a solicitor, or an accountant: your website should be structured to convert visitors into enquiries, not just present information.
I believe in being upfront about costs. Your time is too valuable for a three-meeting sales process before you find out what something costs.
I typically start new projects within four weeks. If you have an urgent issue with an existing site, mention it when you get in touch.
Whether you're starting from scratch or fixing something that isn't working, I'm happy to have a conversation. No obligation, no jargon.
