★★★★★5.0“James has built me an absolutely fantastic website and his attention to detail is second to none. He has been easy to reach if I needed him to change anything and the whole process has been stress free and easy for me. The finished product is better than I could have imagined initially! Thanks so much highly recommend”
“James created my website many years ago and we’ve added little bits now and then. The design is absolutely amazing. I have had a lot of compliments from people who have viewed my website over the years and it has definitely helped me be where I am today. If you’re looking for a website designer I can 100% recommend Hattersley Web Studio.”
“We used James and his company just over a year ago for a new start up business (Corex Energy Solutions Ltd). I have to say from start to finish nothing has been too much. We have constantly been in-touch regarding adjustments we wanted to the website and this has been adjusted quickly with no issues whatsoever. We are really happy with the finished outcome and even the additional things James put together we didn’t think about. We are now going to contact James about another business website and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
A studio built on trust
Local expertise, honest pricing, and a single point of contact, from first call to long after launch.
Based in Steeton, I work with businesses right across the valley, including Keighley, Silsden and Bingley. See web design across the Aire Valley for every area I cover.
An engineer who builds websites
I’m James, an experienced design engineer, based right here in Steeton. I got into this because I kept seeing brilliant local businesses with websites that nobody could find. I bring an engineer’s eye to your project: methodical, precise, and built properly the first time. No cowboy builders, no jargon, no disappearing act.
Local, and actually contactable
Based in the Aire Valley. You deal with me directly, not a call centre or an account manager three counties away.
Built to be found, not just to look nice
A pretty site that nobody finds is a waste of money. Every build comes with the SEO and AI-search groundwork to bring you customers.
One partner for everything
Website, SEO, AI receptionist, reviews and enquiry automation: all under one roof, so you’re not juggling five different suppliers.
Ongoing care, not just a handover
Affordable monthly care plans keep your site secure, updated and growing long after launch.

Everything you need to know
Plain answers to the questions I get asked most often.
How much does a website cost?
My websites start from £995 for a clean, professional WordPress site built to bring in enquiries. The exact price depends on the number of pages and features. I’ll give you a fixed quote after a free discovery call so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to build?
Most sites go live in 3–4 weeks from sign-off. I keep the process tight: discovery call → design sign-off → build → launch. You stay informed at every step.
What’s included in a website package?
Every site includes custom design, mobile optimisation, on-page SEO, a contact form, Google Analytics setup, and 30 days of post-launch support. You own everything outright: no lock-in, no hidden monthly fees for the site itself.
Do you only work with local businesses?
I specialise in small businesses across the Aire Valley: Silsden, Steeton, Keighley, Bingley and surrounding areas. Being local matters: I understand who your customers are and how they search. I also work with clients elsewhere in the UK when the project is a good fit.
What is AI Search Optimisation?
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overview “who’s the best plumber in Bingley?”, AI Search Optimisation is what puts your business in the answer. I structure your content using schema markup and authoritative local signals so AI engines recommend you alongside, or instead of, traditional search results.
Can you improve my existing website?
Absolutely. I offer a free website review: a first look at your website’s mobile experience, clarity and basic performance, with the main issues I’d prioritise. If a full rebuild isn’t right for you, I can often make targeted improvements to what you already have. Request a Free Website Review →
