Our websites are built to do more than look professional. We plan the structure, content and SEO around the people each business wants to reach, then design and build a fast, easy-to-manage website that helps turn visits into genuine enquiries.
Clients work directly with the two people designing and building their project. Jim leads the creative direction, branding, content and visual design, while Matt handles WordPress development, technical SEO, performance and the practical side of bringing everything to life. Nothing is passed to an outside team and there are no layers of communication slowing the project down.
Most of our website projects are for established SMEs that have outgrown an old website, need a stronger online presence or want a clearer route to new business. We also design WooCommerce websites, corporate brochures, property marketing materials, catalogues, logos and wider brand assets, giving clients one experienced team for both digital and print.
With more than 30 years of combined design and website experience, we have worked across professional services, recruitment, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, property, travel, finance, retail and the creative industries.
Website projects start from £1,500 plus VAT, with clear fixed-price quotations and typical timescales of four to six weeks. Every website is mobile-friendly, SEO-ready and built in WordPress, with training and post-launch support included.
Based in Stretford, Greater Manchester, we work with businesses throughout the UK. For companies that want a professional website and direct contact with the people actually doing the work, Designers Up North offers the experience and capabilities of a larger agency with the straightforward service of a small specialist team.

Designers Up North Reviews
Reviews from Google Maps are available on this profile.
Matt and Jim were a delight to work with. Both took time and care to understand the brief and the communication was excellent throughout the build. They produced a finished product which flows seamlessly and perfectly articulates our company's story. "Yakub Qureshi's Review Sourced from Google
Asked Jim to create a corporate eBrochure and he didn't disappoint. Creative, great design and good ideas from start to finish. He was responsive, friendly and client focused. Can't recommend highly enough and would definitely use again. "Martyn Hodges's Review Sourced from Google
Worked with Designers Up North on a last-minute magazine advert, and with only a short brief, they quickly turned around a design that perfectly matched our brand from the first draft. The team is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be using them for future design needs. Highly recommended! "Natasha Sullivan's Review Sourced from Google
Jim from Designers up North dropped me a cold email that would have normally gone straight in the bin. But I had already come across their work several times and it had made an impression so we arranged a chat.Talking to Jim, it turned out he really knew his stuff when it came to SEO and marketing - so many web designers (and templates - especially templates) give you a pretty site, but you'll struggle to fit content in or rank the site.Setting up the new site has been a really involved process (maybe because I like to get my hands dirty) - so Matt and Jim listened to my preferences and brief and we have come up with a new look which is a bold new direction, nodding towards both Bauhaus and high end magazines.Overall I'm really happy with the site, but Jim / Matt are still constantly there for support, and keeping an eye out for opportunities to get the website ranking and in the view of my target audience. We're already seeing improvements in rankings and search traffic.Also - the site is constantly tweak able, with an intuitive back end so you can update pages and create visually appealing blogs with ease.It's early days, but I really believe this (despite the high up-front cost) has been my best marketing spend over the last few years and the website they have designed is a really solid platform to grow and build from.Also - they're really personable and always there if you need support/ advice. "Simon Dewey's Review Sourced from Google
Matt and Jim are fantastic designers as well as being really lovely guys. Working with them has been so easy and straight forward and enjoyable too (from my point of view at least!) and they have designed a site for me that is better than I hoped for. I shopped around a bit before deciding to go with Designers Up North and they were really affordable compared to some of the other quotes I had and their customer service was better too! Highly recommend them if you need a new website or design work! "Peter Clark's Review Sourced from Google
