Your website is often the first impression someone has of your business. It needs to do more than look good - it needs to communicate what you do, make it easy for people to understand why they should choose you and give them a clear reason to take the next step.
Conker is an independent design studio based in Grimsby, working with businesses across Hull, East Yorkshire, North East Lincolnshire and beyond. We bring strategy, branding, web design and development together to create websites that are built around your business, not a template.
A lot can change between launching a website and where your business is today. You might have grown, your services or customers might have changed, or perhaps your website simply doesn't represent the business you're trying to build anymore.
A new website shouldn't just be a fresh coat of paint - it should make your business clearer, more credible and easier to choose. That's where Conker comes in. We combine strategy, UX, design and development to create websites that work for your business and the people you're trying to reach.
We figure out what the website needs to do first.
Before we start designing, we get to know your business - who you're trying to reach, what makes you different, what your customers are looking for and what you want your website to achieve. Once we understand those things, we can build a website around them.
We look at your business, audience, competitors and goals to establish what your website needs to achieve.
We plan the content, navigation and user journeys so people can find what they need and take the right next step.
We create a visual experience that's distinctive, considered and connected to your brand.
We turn the designs into a responsive, functional website that works properly across desktop, tablet and mobile.
We test, refine and make sure everything is working properly before your new website goes live.
There are plenty of websites that look polished, but far fewer actually communicate something meaningful. Your website should reflect what makes your business different - whether that's your expertise, your personality, your products, your people or the experience you provide.
That's why we don't treat web design as something separate from your brand. Your website should be one of the clearest expressions of your business, and if your brand needs some work before that can happen, we can help with that too.
Great.
We'll work with what you've got and create a website that brings it to life.
Even better.
We can help you establish the strategy, visual identity and website as one connected project.
Good web design isn't about filling a page with clever animations and fancy effects. It's about making things easy - easy to understand, easy to navigate, easy to trust and easy to take the next step.
Whether you're looking for more enquiries, more bookings, more sales or simply a better way to present your business, we'll design around what your customers actually need.
We're based in Grimsby, just across the Humber, and work with businesses throughout Hull and East Yorkshire. Being local means we can meet face-to-face when it's useful, but you don't have to be around the corner to work with us - most projects can be handled seamlessly online. Good design shouldn't be complicated, and neither should working with us.
Thinking about a new website can come with a lot of questions - from cost and timelines to what you actually need and how the process works. Here are some of the things we're asked most often, and if you can't find the answer you're looking for, just get in touch. We're happy to have a chat.
Yes. We're based in Grimsby and work with businesses across the Humber, including Hull and East Yorkshire. We can meet in person when it's useful, but most of the process can also be handled online.
Every website is different, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all price. The cost depends on what you need - from a straightforward brochure website to a larger site with ecommerce, integrations or more complex functionality - and we'll scope everything out before we start, so you know exactly what's involved.
It depends on the size and complexity of the project. We'll give you a clear timeline before we begin and keep the process structured throughout - the biggest factor is often the content and feedback process, so we'll make sure you always know what's needed from you and what's happening next.
Absolutely. If your current website isn't working as well as it should, we'll look at what's working, what's not and what needs to change. Sometimes that means a complete redesign and sometimes it means making targeted improvements - we'll recommend what's right for your business rather than changing things for the sake of it.
No. If you already have a strong brand, we'll work with it and bring it to life online, and if your branding needs some attention too, we can help with that as part of the project. Branding and web design can work together, but they don't have to.
Yes. We'll help you work out what your website needs to say and how it should be structured, and if you need more support with copy, imagery or other content, we can discuss that as part of the project too.
Yes. Every website we create is designed and developed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile, so your customers never have to pinch and zoom their way around it.
We'll build your website with SEO fundamentals in place, including page structure, headings, metadata, performance and mobile usability. Good SEO goes beyond simply putting keywords on a page, though - the content and strategy need to work too.
Yes. We can discuss ongoing support and maintenance depending on what you need, and whether that's occasional updates or something more regular, we'll make sure you aren't left wondering what to do when something needs changing.
Of course. You don't need a sitemap, a brief or a perfectly formed idea before getting in touch. Tell us what you're trying to achieve, what's currently frustrating you and where you'd like to get to, and we'll work it out from there.
Whether you're launching something new, growing an established business or simply ready to leave your old website behind, let's create something that works harder for your business.
