“I had an amazing experience with GreyPhox Digital and loved the finished product for my website. Phil was professional, responsive, and affordable. He went above and beyond to make sure his work matched my vision. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to launch or level up their website!”

“I have just used GreyPhox to help me design, develop and create the website for my business. Being a niche business it was important for me that all the content was presented in a way which identified with my clientele and from the first conversation I had with Phil, he understood that perfectly.

To say the results have completely exceeded my expectation is an understatement! From just the logo, some written content and images, Phil was able to create exactly what I had in mind, and his vast experience in maximising the design is evident in the results! I am very glad that I trusted Greyphox with such a critical part of my business with this website. If you are looking for bespoke, high quality website design with meticulous attention to detail, I could not recommend Greyphox any higher!”

Web design in Durham

A city where first impressions count

Durham is a city where first impressions matter. Between visitors coming to see the Cathedral and Castle, students arriving every September and locals who know exactly where they like to go, businesses here are competing for attention with some of the best-known names in the North East. Your website has to hold its own.

Built for how Durham shops

Websites that turn searches into bookings

Many of our Durham clients are in hospitality, retail, tourism and professional services, where the website’s job is simple: get someone to book, order, call or walk through the door. We design around that one job, with menus, bookings, online ordering or enquiry forms front and centre and working perfectly on a phone.

Durham’s trade also moves with the calendar, from graduation and freshers’ weeks to the summer visitor season and Christmas. We make it easy to change offers, opening hours and events yourself, so your site is always up to date when people are looking.

Getting found

Local SEO for a competitive city

Being on page one for “restaurant in Durham” or “accountant Durham” doesn’t happen by accident. We build every site with search in mind from day one: fast pages, clear structure, the right local signals and a properly set up Google Business Profile. Where it makes sense, we add paid search to bring in customers while your organic rankings grow.

We also look after web design, online shops, SEO, hosting and email, social media and paid search, all from one small team.

Around the area

Covering Durham and nearby

We work with businesses across the city, from the Market Place and Elvet to Framwellgate and Belmont, and in nearby towns including Chester-le-Street, Spennymoor, Bowburn, Brandon and Sherburn.

Questions

Web design in Durham: common questions

Do you build websites for restaurants and cafés in Durham?

Yes. We’ve built restaurant sites with menus, table bookings and online ordering, designed so hungry visitors can decide and book in a couple of taps.

Can my website handle busy periods like graduation week?

Yes. We host on fast, reliable servers and build lightweight sites, so they stay quick when lots of people visit at once.

Do you offer SEO on its own, without a new website?

Yes. If your current site is sound, we can work on your local SEO and Google Business Profile without rebuilding anything. We’ll tell you honestly if the site itself is holding you back.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what you need. We’ll give you a fixed, written quote after a free consultation, so there are no surprises.
